Notes:
● This unit incorporates a sampling rate converter.
When this unit is connected to digital equipment such as DSS tuners or DAT tape
recorders that use a different sampling frequency (32 kHz or 48 kHz), recordings can
still be made. (The sampling frequency of this unit is 44.1 kHz.)
● When making a digital recording from a portable CD player (if the player has a sound
skip prevention function and this function is turned on) the optical output will drop out
and digital recording will not be possible. Be sure to turn the sound skip prevention
function off.
