Operating Instructions

Some portable digital devices such as portable
CD/MD/DAT players do not output digital
signals while playback is stopped. With the
signals from those devices, you can start
recording automatically (Digital Synchronized
Recording).

the external digital equipment to the
LINE IN (OPT) jack of the linear PCM
recorder using an optional optical
digital cable.

position.

The “Digital SYNC REC “ window is
displayed.
Notes
 When a different digital signal is input, it is recorded
as a new file since different signals cannot be saved
in a file.
 During digital recording, the counter display might
show approximately one second later than the
actual recording.
 During digital recording from a CD/MD/DAT player,
the linear PCM recorder may fail in synchronized
recording mode depending on the type of source
data or operations attempted.
 We cannot guarantee the operation of all types of
CD/MD/DAT players. Some external devices you use
may not operate properly.
 When the remaining recordable time is less than 10
seconds, you may not be able to use synchronized
recording function.

“ON,” and press the

Follow steps 3 and 6 of “Recording
using the built-in microphones”
(page 36) to make the linear PCM
recorder standby, ready for recording.

Start playback on the external
equipment.
With file information from the connected
external device, recording starts
automatically. When files of the playback
signals switch, recording continues as a
new file.
