Sampling rate converter
The main unit is equipped with a sampling rate converter to ensure
that the original digital signals will be recorded regardless of the
sampling frequency (32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz) of the signal from
the source.

the button repeatedly to toggle between sources. The source type will
appear in the display window, and a lamp (DIGITAL, CD or LINE)
will light on the front panel showing the selected source. The order of
toggling and appearance of the sources in the information display
(starting from OPTICAL IN) are as follows.

Notes
• *In accordance with the SCMS (Serial Copy Management
System), recording systems are not allowed to create a second-
generation digital copy of a first generation copy (refer to
SCMS see page 48). Therefore, if the CD-R or CD-RW disc
loaded in the 3-CD changer is a first-generation digital copy,
this recording selection must be used. If you attempt to record
the disc using the digital setting, “SCMS PROTECT” is shown
in the information display and recording will not be allowed. 
• ** MIX (combined) source recording is only possible in analog.
• If a source has already been selected, the corresponding lamp
will light and the selection will be shown in the display window. 
• When playback is stopped and the CDR is selected, press the
DISPLAY button on the remote control repeatedly to show the
recording time remaining on the disc.
• High-speed recording is not possible when recording manually.
