Getting Started
xWhen connecting with digital components
(CD player, DAT recorder, other MD recorders,
mixer with coaxial digital input/output jacks or
optical digital input/output connector.)
When this recorder is connected with a CD player,
MD recorder, or DAT recorder, digital recording can
be performed. Use an optical digital connecting
cable (POC-15A) or a coaxial digital connecting cable
(VMC-10) that can be purchased separately.

Take the caps off the connectors and insert the cable
plugs securely.

z A sampling rate converter is mounted in this recorder
All digital input signals are converted to the
sampling frequency (44.1 kHz) of an MD recorder
for recording.
Therefore, this allows you to record sources such as
32 or 48 kHz DAT or satellite broadcasts, as well as
CDs and MDs.
3 Connect the power cord.
After Unpacking
Check the supplied accessories.
• Remote commander (remote) RM-DR1E (1)
• AA-size (R6) batteries (2)
• Connecting cable (control S cable) (1)
Inserting batteries into the remote
Insert two AA-size (R6) batteries with the 3 and #
properly oriented to the markings into the battery
compartment.
z When to replace the batteries
Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for
about six months. When the remote no longer operates
the recorder, replace both batteries with new ones.
Notes
• If you use the batteries incorrectly, they may leak liquid
or be blown up. Be sure to obey the following points:
- Do not mistake 3 and # terminals.
- Do not use a new battery with an old one or batteries of
different types together.
- Do not recharge the batteries.
- If you don't use the remote for an extended period of
time, remove the batteries.
- If the batteries are leaking, wipe to clean the battery
compartment before replacing with new ones.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or
lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
