Connecting digital (optical) and analog (line) inputs
The recorder selects digital or analog input according to how the sound source is hooked up.

2)When the sound source is a CD or an MD
3)With a sound source other than a CD or an MD.
4)The recorder pauses automatically when it encounters a section with no audio signal for 3 seconds or more.
Notes
Track mark 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 programs with audio that is digitally broadcast (e.g., digital TV) are recorded through the digital (optical) input.
Recording in analog (Analog Recording)
See the illustration in English text (page 24).
The sound will be sent from the connected equipment as analog signal but will be recorded digitally on the disc.
1 Connect 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.
2 Connect the power source.
To use on AC power, see “Recording an MD right away!”.
3 Press and slide REC to the right. “REC” and the REC lamp lights up and recording starts.
4 Play the sound source.
Note
If you temporarily stop a recording operation by pressing X, a new track mark will be added at that point when you press X again to resume recording. The recording resumes on a new track.
