Notes

Track marks may be copied incorrectly:

•when you record from some CD players or multi disc players using digital (optical) input.

•when the source is in shuffle or program play mode while recording using digital (optical) input. In this case, play the source in normal play mode.

•when recording BS or CS programs through digital (optical) input.

Recording with analog input (line cable required)

See the illustration in Japanese text (page 24).

The sound will sent from the connected equipment as analog signal but will be recorded digitally on the disc.

1Connect the LINE IN (OPT) jack of the recorder to the line output jack of the source with an line cable (not supplied).

The recorder switches to analog 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 75.

3Press and slide REC to the right. “REC” and the REC indicator lights up and recording starts.

4Play the sound source.
