Recording with digital input (optical cable required)
See the illustration in Japanese text (page 15).

Connect to a digital source using an optical cable (POC-5B or POC-5AB, not supplied) to make digital recordings. Digital recording is possible even from digital equipment with different sampling rates, such as a DAT deck or a BS tuner, using the built-in sampling rate converter.

1Connect the LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack of the recorder to the optical digital output jack of the source with an optical cable (not supplied).

The recorder switches to digital input automatically.
2Connect the power source.

To use on AC power, see "Recording an MD right away!" To use on other power sources, see page 60.

3Insert a recordable MD.
Press OPEN to open the lid, insert a recordable MD, and close the lid.
4Press and slide the REC switch to the right.
"REC" lights up and recording starts.
5Play the sound source.

To stop recording, press p.
