Recording Recording
The input jacks connected with audio cords accept analog signals. This unit records the analog signal from the
REC IIM jacks by converting it into digital signal. (This recording is simply referred to as analog recording.)
When this unit and CD player are connected with an optical fiber cable, the digital signal input through
the DIGITAL IN (OPTICAL) jack can be recorded in a digital form (this recording is hereinafter referred to
as digital recording). Enjoy high sound quality of digital recording.
Preparation Open the write protect tab of the
Mini Disc to make it recordable.
Check the remaining recording time.
