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.
Notes
• If "Din Unlock" or "Cannot Copy" appears 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 INPUT set to ANALOG.
• When recording through the DIGITAL IN connector, you
cannot adjust the recording level.
Connecting the AC power cord
Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet or to the
outlet of a timer.
