Using D600, DSP5000 or D6000 speakers with 562

2. the source you want to copy is available in digital form either as the
primary or extra input, and you want to make a digital recording. (See
page ?? for setting up extra inputs).
Conditionally works OK
The following list shows the copy procedures that only work in some
circumstances.
1. the source you want to copy is available in analogue form only, and
you want to make a digital recording. This process only works if either:
the Copy source is also the main source selected by the Source
key (in effect you are using Copy–System. Copy–System means
'record what I am listening to' – except of course Mute and Volume
do not effect the recording!
the main listening Source is digital, freeing up the analogue–digital
converter for the Copy process.
Never works OK
The following list shows the copy procedures that do not work as
expected.
1. the source you want to copy is available in digital form only, and you
want to make an analogue recording.
The standard 562 does not have any means to convert digital signals to
analogue.
Overcoming copy difficulties to digital recorders
There is no ready solution to the fact that 562 only has one analogue–
digital converter. We advise caution when making digital recordings from
analogue sources. The simplest strategy is to listen to the recording on
Source, and use Copy–System. See page ??.
Overcoming copy difficulties to analogue recorders
To obtain reliable copy functions for digital sources onto analogue
recorders you have the following options:
1. If the digital source (e.g. CD, DCC, MD or Laser disc player) has both
analogue and digital outputs, connect both. Use the digital connection
as the main one and the analogue as an extra. See page ?? for details
on setting up main and extra inputs.
2. If the digital source does not have both analogue and digital outputs
(e.g. CD transport), use an external digital–to–analogue converter on
the digital source to provide an extra analogue input.
3. If you have several digital-only sources, or the digital source supports
only one output, then connect an external DAC. The digital signal to
the DAC is taken from the DO2 digital tape output of 562. Connect the
analogue output of the DAC to the DAC sockets on 562. Note: this
option is not available if you have an internal DAC fitted.
4. Upgrade 562 to have the internal DAC option fitted. Consult your
dealer.
Please note, the following systems must be operated in 200 Mode!
systems using D600
systems using D6000 with software versions less than 2.0. (To see the
