Hookups
Connecting the deck to an amplifier
Connect the amplifier to the LINE (ANALOG) IN/
OUT jacks using the audio connecting cords (supplied),
making sure to match the color-coded cords to the
appropriate jacks on the components: red (right) to red
and white (left) to white. Be sure to make connections
firmly to prevent hum and noise.

and/or a coaxial digital connecting cable (not
supplied).
When using the optical cables
Take the caps off the connectors and then insert the plugs
parallelly until they click into place.

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”
flashes 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 “ANLG”
selected by A-INPUT or B-INPUT.
Connecting the AC power cord
Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet or to the
outlet of a timer.
