Two ways of connecting to a sound source

The input jack of this recorder works as both digital and analog input jacks. Connect the
recorder to a CD player or a cassette recorder using either digital input or analog input. To
record, see "Recording with digital input" (page 11) to record using digital input, and
"Recording an MD right away!" (page 6) to record using analog input.
