Connecting the deck to a digital
component such as a digital amplifier,
CD player, or an MD deck
Connect the digital component (digital
amplifier, CD player, MD deck or DAT
deck, etc.) to the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN/
OUT connectors on the deck with an optical
cable (not supplied).
Be sure to insert the plug until it clicks into
place.
Tips
• If "Din Unlock" and "C71" alternate in the display,
the optical cable is not connected properly. Check
that the connections are secure.
• 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 source such as 32- and 48-
kHz DAT or satellite broadcasts, as well as compact
discs and MDs.
