Connecting to an external amplifier or recorder
Your radio has both digital and analogue audio outputs. You can connect
your radio to an external amplifier or recorder. This may be a stand-alone
unit or it may be part of your existing hi-fi system.
Recording from your radio
Your radio has twelve alarm timers which can be set to switch on your radio at
a preset day, time, and station. See section alarms for details on how to set
timers (page 42). Note: The timer record function is for personal use only.
Digital connection
1. A programme/station can be recorded to an external device via the
optical toslink connector located on the left hand side of your radio.
Connect the optical toslink connector to the optical input socket(s) on
your recorder using a suitable cable.
Most mini disc units have a record pause mode that enables the mini
disc to start recording as soon as a signal appears on the mini disc
input. When your radio switches on controlled by the alarm timer the
mini disc will start recording.
Subsequent timer events are then recorded onto track 2,3, etc. Consult
your hi-fi or mini disc user guide for further details. The volume on
your radio can be set to 0 so that you will not be disturbed during the
recording. The volume control does not affect the recording level.
Analogue connection
2. The Analogue outputs can be connected to an external amplifier or
recorder. Note: that the radio is unable to control the recording using
the timers when the analogue connection is used.
