Recording - Yamaha MDX-596 Owner's Manual

This unit allows you to make recordings from a wide
variety of program sources (both analog and digital).
When recording an analog source (such as an FM
broadcast or cassette) this unit converts the analog
signals to a 44.1 kHz digital signal before recording
them onto the MD.
When recording a digital source, this unit converts the
digital signals to 44.1 kHz for recording onto the MD.
However, if you are recording a 44.1 kHz source signal
(such as a CD) there is no conversion. This unit can
record 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz digital signals.
Preparations
• Be sure to set the TIMER switch to OFF, then press
