are stored on the original. Compared to re-
cordings made from analogue inputs, digi-
tal recordings have extremely high-quality
sound.

is not necessary to adjust the record-
ing level.
Notes:
● This unit incorporates a sampling rate
converter.
When this unit is connected to digital
equipment such as Digital radios or DAT
tape recorders that use a different sam-
pling frequency (32 kHz or 48 kHz), re-
cordings can still be made. (The sam-
pling frequency of this unit is 44.1 kHz.)
● When making a digital recording from a
portable CD player (if the player has a
sound skip prevention function and this
function is turned on) the optical output
will drop out and digital recording will not
be possible. Be sure to turn the sound
skip prevention function off.
There are cases where digital recording
may be impossible.
In the following cases digital recording is
impossible, even if you are using digital
cables.

Further digital copies are prevented by
the SCMS (Serial Copy Management
System).
