Various ways of recording
Two ways of connecting to a sound source
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 with digital (optical) input (optical cable required)”
(page 13) to record using digital (optical) input, and “Recording an MD right away!”
(page 6) to record using analog (line) input.
Difference between digital (optical) and analog (line) inputs
Note
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.
