If "Din Unlock" and "C71" alternate in the display
The optical cables and/or the coaxial digital connecting
cable are not connected properly. Check that the
connections are secure.

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 your MD deck.
This allows you to record sources such as 32- and 48-
kHz DAT or satellite broadcasts, as well as compact
discs and other MDs.
Note
If "Din Unlock" alternates with "C71", or "Cannot Copy"
flashes in the display, recording through the digital
connector is not possible. In this case, record the program
source through the LINE (ANALOG) IN jacks with "ANLG"
selected by A-INPUT or B-INPUT.
Connecting the AC power cord
Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet or to the
outlet of a timer.
