does, connecting will be quite simple as illustrated below:
  

If your turntable doesn’t have a built-in preamplifier (most don’t), the turntable 
can be connected to a separate preamplifier that’s connected to the DA-9000’s inputs. 

Some AV receivers have a built-in phono preamp. If yours does, you can connect as follows:

ABOUT THE SERIAL COPY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

This unit complies with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) standard. This
standard was created to restrict digital-to-digital copying to only the first generation.
The basic rules governing this system are as follows:

1.

A digital recording can be made through a digital input connection from a digital  

source such as a CD, DAT or MD onto a recordable audio CD-R, audio CD-RW, MD or 
DAT. However, second and later generation copies cannot be recorded digitally.

2.

When an analog source such as an FM broadcast is digitally recorded by using a 

CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT, this recorded source can be digitally recorded on another  

CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT. However, further digital copying is prohibited.
