TDK DA-5900 User Manual page 17

A higher setting such as -40 dB means that:
During digital SYNCHRONIZED mode recording, a relatively loud
•
input signal will be required to trigger the start of recording.
During A-TRACK mode recording, a fairly silent passage-with some
•
background hiss-will trigger an increase to the next track number
on the disc being recorded.
A lower setting such as -60 dB means that:
During digital SYNCHRONIZED mode recording, a relatively quiet
•
input signal will trigger the start of recording.
During A-TRACK mode recording, a very silent passage-with little
•
or no background hiss-will be required to trigger an increase to
the next track number on the disc being recorded.
ABOUT DIGITAL SYNCHRONIZED RECORDING
In Digital Synchronized Recording mode, recording automatically
begins when signal from an external source is received. Recording
automatically ends when the signal from an external source ends.
Digital synchronized recording is only possible when recording
through a digital input from an external source such as a CD player
or MiniDisc deck.
Note that the INCREMENT LEVEL setting (discussed in the previous
section of this manual) affects how loud an input signal must be in
order to trigger recording.

ABOUT RECORDING FROM YOUR TURNTABLE
This section explains how to connect your turntable to the DA-5900
for recording. These guidelines apply ONLY when recording from a
turntable into the DA-5900.
Some turntables have a built-in preamplifier.
If yours does, connecting will be quite simple as illustrated below:
If your turntable doesn't have a built-in preamplifier (most don't), the turntable
can be connected to a separate preamplifier that's connected to the DA-5900's inputs.
Some AV receivers have a built-in phono preamp. If yours does, you can connect as follows:
