This unit
Digital component
z If "Din Unlock" and "C71" appear in the display
Check the digital optical cable or digital coaxial cable
connections. Also make sure the power of the connected
component is turned on.
z Automatic conversion of digital sampling rates
A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts
digital signals with 32 kHz or 48 kHz sampling rates to the
MD sampling rate (44.1 kHz).
This allows you to make digital recordings from DAT (32 kHz
and 48 kHz) and satellite broadcasts (32 kHz and 48 kHz) in
addition to CD and MD program sources.
Note
If "Din Unlock", "C71" or "Cannot Copy" appears in the
display, digital recording is not possible. In such cases,
connect the program source to the LINE (ANALOG) IN jacks,
set INPUT to ANLG, and make an analog recording.
p After completing all other connections, use the
AC power cord to connect this unit to a wall
outlet.
