____ Other uses for the digital output
If you have another digital recorder, such as a CD-R or DAT
deck, you might want to use this unit as a digital source. In
this case, connect the optical digital output of the MJ-
D508 to an optical digital input of your other digital
recorder.
____ Using the digital inputs
To make direct digital recordings on the MJ-D508 you'll
need to connect the digital output of a source (like a CD
player or another MD recorder) to a digital input on this
unit. To make recordings from analog sources (like a
turntable or analog cassette deck) it's usually easiest to
connect this recorder to your amplifier/receiver's tape
inputs and outputs—see below for more on this.
Connecting Up.
Before you start, make sure that all the components are
switched off and disconnected from the wall outlet.
Next, connect this unit to your amplifier/receiver using the
two sets of supplied audio leads—one set for playback,
the other for recording. On the rear panel of your amp find
an unused set of inputs/outputs for a tape/MD recorder
(check the instruction manual that came with your amp if
you're unsure about which terminals to use).
& Recording
Using this set up you can make recordings from any other
component connected to the amplifier, via the analog
inputs of this unit.
Even if you connected this unit to your amplifier/receiver
using the optical digital out (see previous page), it may be
convenient to also connect it using the analog terminals.
This will allow you to make recordings from MD to analog
cassette tape, for example.

Connecting Other Pioneer
Components (except Europe)
If you are using a Pioneer amplifier or receiver that has this
feature, you can control this unit with the multi-remote
controller that came with your amplifier/receiver. The
advantage of this is that you can use a single remote control
to operate several components. Check the instruction
manual that came with your amplifier or receiver for more
information on using its remote as a multi-controller.
Use a commercially available cord with a mono mini-plug
at either end to connect the CONTROL out terminal of the
amplifier/receiver to the CONTROL in terminal of this unit. If
you have more components using the same system you
can just daisy chain them together, making sure the
CONTROL OUT of one component is always connected to
the CONTROL IN of another.
Make sure that at least one set of analog terminals is
connected to the amplifier when using H control cords.
