known as Sampling Rate Converter.
The FS converter of this unit performs the conversion of digital sig-
nals from sources that use sampling frequencies other than
44.1kHz to the sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which is necessary
for recording the signals to a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
• When the FS converter is turned off, the converter is bypassed if
the digital signal of the source has a sampling frequency of
44.1kHz and when analog and multiple input recording are per-
formed.
• If source sampling frequencies of 32kHz or 48kHz are detected,
the FS converter is activated automatically and the signal is
routed through it.
• When the FS converter is turned on, all signals to be recorded
are routed through it regardless of the sampling frequency, even
the 44.1kHz digital signal is passed through it as the converter
works as a filter to reduce signal fluctuation in the disc record-
ing. For this reason, having the function set to "ON" is recom-
mended for most recording purposes.
• When recording specially encoded discs such as dts

HDCD , etc., be sure to turn the converter off (setting to
"OFF") using the following procedure (see step 4).

Note
• When recording from the 3-CD changer, the sampling rate con-
verter is always turned off.
