Recording an external audio source to
a CD-R disc
Here we will explain an example using digital connections with an external MD
recorder.
The CDX-1 has two types of DIGITAL IN connector: coaxial and optical. This allows
the output of a external digital audio device such as a CD player, DAT recorder, or
MD recorder to be recorded onto a CD-R in digital form.
* In order to record a digital audio signal into the CDX-1, it is not enough to simply connect the
digital audio device to the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN connectors. To allow digital audio
signals to be recorded, you must make the setting described in "Connecting with a digital audio
device" (p. 148).
1. Connect the digital in jack of the CDX-1 to the digital out jack of your external
MD recorder. Make sure that the type of jack is correct.
