2 Connecting up
When connecting optical leads, take care not to
bend the cable around sharp corners as this can
damage the cable. Likewise, when storing optical
cable, coil loosely (as shown on page 7).
If you’re using one of the coaxial-type digital
connectors you’ll need a lead with an RCA/
phono plug at each end. Please only use digital
audio cables, not normal audio interconnects.
Using the digital inputs
To make direct digital recordings on the CDR–
830 you’ll need to connect the digital output of a
source (like a CD, MD, or DAT player) to one of
the digital inputs on this unit. To make
recordings from analog sources (like an analog
tape deck) connect the outputs of your analog
source to the line inputs of the CDR–830—see
the following page for more detail.
Using the digital outputs
If you have another digital recorder, such as a
MD or DAT recorder, you might want to use the
CDR–830 as a digital source. In this case,
connect one of the digital outputs of the CDR–
830 to a similar digital input on your other digital
recorder.
Digital playback component
(Digital console CD, MD, DAT player, etc.) Digital recording component
(CD-R, MD, DAT recorder,
etc.)
Please ensure that if you are using the coaxial
digital connections that 75 ohm video type cable
is used.
Connecting up for digital
playback & recording
The diagrams on these pages show possible
connections with various other components in
your system. Before you start connecting your
system, make sure that all the components are
switched off and disconnected from the wall
outlet.
About optical and coaxial jacks
The CDR–830 has both optical and coaxial jacks
for both digital input and output. There’s no need
to connect both, but since some equipment has
only one type of connector—and you can only
connect like with like—having both types on this
unit can be an advantage.
To use the optical jack, you’ll need an optical cable.
These are readily available at audio dealers. When
buying, check that the cable is no longer than 3m.
Pull out the dust cap and store it
in a safe place for future use.
Check that both optical plug and
socket are free from dust—if
necessary, clean with a soft, dry
cloth. The optical lead will only go
in one way, so match up the jack
and the plug before inserting fully.
