<Note>:
You can always record analog input signals regardless of the record source
setting if each channel receives only an analog signal. When a channel whose record
source is set to "Digital" receives both digital and analog signals and it locks to the
digital signal, the digital signal takes priority (the analog signal of this channel is not
recorded). The record source can be set using the "Rec source set" item in the "SYS
SETUP" menu of the MENU mode. See page 146 for details.
