Connecting an analogue
component
To enhance your system, you can connect optional
components. Analogue sound from the connected
component is recorded as an analogue signal on
the MD.
Refer to the operating instructions of each
component.
Connecting the optional tape
deck TC-SP55
CD Synchro Recording and Timer-recording are
possible when the SYSTEM CONTROL 3
connectors are connected.
Disconnect the supplied system cable from the
SYSTEM CONTROL 3 connectors on the tuner
and MD deck, and connect the system cable
supplied with the tape deck in the order of the
tuner, tape deck and MD deck.
Refer to the operating instructions included with
the TC-SP55 tape deck for details on the
connection and operation.
Notes
• Digital recording is prohibited for most DVD
software. To record DVD software for which digital
recording is prohibited, disconnect the optical cable
and make an analogue recording.
• A built-in sampling rate converter lets you make a
digital recording of the sound from a digital
component to the MD deck regardless of the source
frequency (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48.0 kHz).
• If the optical cable is not connected or incorrectly
connected, or if the optical cable is connected but
there is some problem with the input digital signal,
the system automatically switches to analogue
recording and the audio is recorded in analogue
format.
• When connecting the DVD player’s DIGITAL
OUT jack to the MD deck’s DIGITAL OPTICAL
AUX IN jack, set the DVD player so that the
signals output from the player’s DIGITAL OUT
jack are downmixed to 2 channels (2ch linear
PCM). If the DVD player is set to 5.1ch output, you
cannot record to the MD.
