System connections
Connecting other components
• Do not plug in the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.
• On each pair of input or output jacks, the jack (marked R) corresponds to the right channel, and the jack (marked L) to the left
channel. Refer to the amplifier's instruction manual for further information on connections.
• Do not place the MD recorder on the amplifier or receiver.
• Do not fold optical cables into a short length or wind them up into a coil with a small radius.
• Avoid bundling the audio connection cables with the power cord or speaker cables. Doing so may cause degraded sound reproduction.

Connection via the Digital Input
Terminal (DIGITAL IN)
You can perform digital recording on the
MD-185X if a CD (Compact Disc) player
or DAT (Digital Audio Tapedeck) equipped
with a digital (OPTICAL) output terminal
is available. For digital recording, you need
to connect the equipment to either DIGI-
TAL IN 1 or 2 terminal using the supplied
optical cable. These terminals can also be
used for connecting an amplifier which is
equipped with a digital output terminal.
Note:
• If the DIGITAL IN 2 is used for
connecting the amplifier, you cannot
use the full capability of the MD-185X.
• If you attempt to perform digital
recording using a digital input terminal
which is not connected, “D.In Unlock”
will appear.
• Terminal protection caps are attached to
the DIGITAL IN terminals. Remove the
cap for the terminal you wish to use
when connecting the MD-185X to
digital equipment. Replace the caps if
you are not using the DIGITAL IN
terminals.
