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.
Note
If "Din Unlock" alternates with "C71", or "Cannot Copy"
appears in the display, recording through the digital
connector is not possible. In this case, record the program
source through the LINE(ANALOG) IN jacks with the
INPUT set at ANALOG.
Connecting the AC power cord
Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet or to the
outlet of a timer.
