1
Connection with the amplifier
Connect the MD-2521 to the MD (or TAPE) jacks of your amplifier.
2
Connection to digital input terminal (DIGITAL INPUT)
You can perform digital recording on the MD-2521 if a CD (Compact
Disc) player or DAT (Digital Audio Tapedeck) equipped with a digital
(OPTICAL/COAXIAL) output terminal is available. Use an optical
Connection for remote control (

)
The
z
jacks allow you to connect other Onkyo
z
-compatible products
for system operation. If your MD-2521 is connected to an
z
-compatible
CD player, for example, you can perform CD-synchro recording (see page
18). Furthermore, if your Onkyo
z
-compatible amplifier or receiver is
equipped with MD jacks and is connected properly, you can operate the
MD recorder using the remote controller supplied with that product.
Note:
• The upper and lower
z
REMOTE CONTROL jacks have the
same function.
• Do not attempt to connect the
z
jack to any equipment other than
an ONKYO component that are equipped with an
z
jack. Doing
so could cause the unit to malfunction.
fiber cable for connection to the DIGITAL INPUT 1 or 2 terminal. The
DIGITAL INPUT 2 terminal is provided on both the front and rear panel.
The one on the front panel takes precedence if input is simultaneously
made to both terminals. Use a coaxial cable for connection to the
DIGITAL INPUT 3 terminal. These terminals can also be used for
connecting an amplifier which is equipped with a digital output terminal.
Note:
If you attempt to perform digital recording using a digital input terminal
which is not connected, “D.In Unlock” will appear.
Note:
Use the DIGITAL INPUT 1 terminal if you connect an Onkyo
z
-
compatible CD player (for example, DX-7511 and DX-7211).

Connection to digital output terminal (DIGITAL OUTPUT)
If your amplifier or receiver has a digital (OPTICAL) input terminal
(DIGITAL INPUT), using this terminal provides clearer and more
dynamic sound output.

• 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 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.
• Terminal protection caps are attached to the DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT terminals. Remove the cap for the terminal you wish to use when
connecting the MD-2521 to digital equipment. Replace the caps if you are not using the DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT terminals.
