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 this deck.
This allows you to record sources such as 32- and 48-
kHz DAT or satellite broadcasts, as well as compact
discs and MDs.
Note
If “Din Unlock” or “Cannot Copy” flashes in the display,
recording through the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN connector is
not possible. In this case, record the program source
through the ANALOG IN jacks with “ANALOG” selected by
INPUT.
Setting the voltage selector (only on
models supplied with a voltage selector)
Check that the voltage selector on the rear panel of the
deck is set to the local power line voltage. If not, set
the selector to the correct position using a screwdriver
before connecting the AC power cord to an AC outlet.
