z If “Din Unlock” and “C71” alternate in the display
The optical cable is not connected properly. Check that
the connections are secure.
z Automatic conversion of digital sampling rates
during recording
A built-in sampling rate converter automatically
converts the sampling frequency of various digital
sources to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate of this deck.
This allows you to record sources such as 32- and 48-
kHz DAT or satellite broadcasts, as well as compact
discs and MDs.
Note
If Din Unlock alternates with C71, or Cannot Copy
flashes in the display, recording through the DIGITAL
OPTICAL IN connector is not possible. In this case, record
the program source through the LINE (ANALOG) IN jacks
with ANALOG selected by INPUT.
Setting the voltage selector (Singaporian
model only)
Check that the voltage selector on the rear panel of the
deck is set to the local power line voltage. If not, set
the selector to the correct position using a screwdriver
before connecting the AC power cord to an AC outlet.
