z If “Din Unlock” and “C71” alternate in the display

The optical cable is not connected properly. Check that the connections are secure.

z Automatic conversion of digital sampling rates

during recording

A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate of this deck. This allows you to record sources such as 32- and 48kHz DAT or satellite broadcasts, as well as compact discs and MDs.

Note

If “Din Unlock” or “Cannot Copy” flashes in the display, recording through the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN connector is not possible. In this case, record the program source through the ANALOG IN jacks with “ANLG” selected by INPUT.

• When recording in LP2 or LP4 Stereo mode, recording takes approximately twice as long as normal high-speed recording.

• The Auto Cut Function does not work.

• With the following kinds of CDs, you may experience a reading failure or noise when recorded to an MD: — CDs with adhesive labels

attached to them

— Irregularly shaped CDs (for

example, heart- or starshaped)

— CDs with printed text

concentrated on one side only — Old CDs — Scratched CDs — Dirty CDs — Warped CDs

If “–Retry–” flashes in the display after you press · or P in Step 6

A reading failure has occurred, and the deck is trying to read the data again.

• If the retry was successful, the deck continues with High-Speed CD-MD Synchro-Recording.

• If the condition of the inserted CD or the deck is poor, and retry fails, HighSpeed CD-MD Synchro-Recording is disabled. In this case, the indicator on the CD SYNCHRO NORMAL button flashes and the deck automaticaly starts recording in normal CD-MD Synchro-Recording. Note that monitoring of the recorded signal is not possible when this occurs.

Notes

• If the following occurs during CD playback or recording, a reading error may occur or noise may be produced in the recorded results: — The CD tray or other part of the system is bumped. — The system is placed on an uneven or soft surface. — The system is located near a speaker, door, or other source of vibration.

• If the above reading errors occur, a extra soundless track may be created. You can erase these extra tracks using the edit function of the MD deck.
