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 an MD right away!” (page 16) to record using
digital (optical) input, and “ Recording with analog input (line cable required)” (page 22) 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.
