Difference between digital (optical) and analog (line) inputs

The input jack of this recorder works as both digital and analog input jacks. Connect the recorder to a CD player or a cassette recorder using either digital (optical) input or analog (line) input. To record, see “Recording from externally connected component” (page 37) to record using digital (optical) input, and “When recording in analog” (page 38) to record using analog (line) 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 programs with audio that is digitally broadcast (e.g., digital TV) are recorded through the digital (optical) input.
