Recording from externally connected equipment
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 (optical) input or analog
(line) input. To record, see “Recording with digital (optical) input (optical cable required)”
(page 16) to record using digital (optical) input and “Recording with analog (line) input
(line cable required)” (page 17) to record using analog (line) input.
LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack is for both digital and analog input.
The recorder automatically recognizes the type of line cable and switches to digital or analog input.
Difference between digital (optical) and analog (line) inputs
Note
Track marks may be copied incorrectly:
• when you record from some CD players or multi disc players using digital (optical) input.
• when the source is in shuffle or program play mode while recording using digital (optical) input. In
this case, play the source in normal play mode.
• when recording BS or CS programs through digital (optical) input.
