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 programme 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 mains lead
Connect the mains lead to a wall outlet or to the outlet
of a timer.
