• Digital program sources with different sampling frequencies
cannot be recordeef through the digital input jack.
Only CD, MD (premastered) and DAT sources with a
sampling fretjuency of 44.1 kH/ can be recorded through the
digital input connector. “Din Unlock" appears in the
display when you attempt to record digital program sources
with a sampling frequency different from that of the MD

program .sources on an MD you must connect them through
the analog LINE IN jacks and set I.NPUT to .A-NA1,CX1.
• If "Cannot Copy" appears in the display, recording through
the digital jack is not possible.
In this case, record the program source through the LINE I.N
