Recording an external audio source to 
a CD-R disc
Here we will explain an example using digital connections with an external MD 
recorder. 
The CDX-1 has two types of DIGITAL IN connector: coaxial and optical. This allows 
the output of a external digital audio device such as a CD player, DAT recorder, or 
MD recorder to be recorded onto a CD-R in digital form.
* In order to record a digital audio signal into the CDX-1, it is not enough to simply connect the 
digital audio device to the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN connectors. To allow digital audio 
signals to be recorded, you must make the setting described in “Connecting with a digital audio 
device” (p. 148).
1. Connect the digital in jack of the CDX-1 to the digital out jack of your external 
MD recorder. Make sure that the type of jack is correct.

2. Insert an unused CD-R disc or a CD-R disc that has been written by the CDX-1.
* When insert an CD-R disc written audio data, CD player screen appears.
* When insert an unused CD-R disc, CD recording screen (step 3) appears.
* You cannot record on a CD-R disc that has been finalized.
3. Press CD RECORDER [
].
CD recording screen appears.

standby mode).
4. Press INPUT SELECT [DIGITAL].
5. Turn the INPUT REC LEVEL knob to adjust the level so that level meter moves 
as far as possible without exceeding the dotted line in the upper portion.
If INPUT REC LEVEL knob is set at 
 in case of Digital In, input level will be 
“0 dB.”
6. Ready a MD (mini-disk) into your external MD recorder for immediate play. 
7. Press PLAY [
] to begin recording, and then start playback on your external 
MD recorder.
8. To stop recording, press STOP [
].
If you wish to finalize the CD-R that you recorded, use the procedure described in 
“Finalizing a CD-R disc” (
p. 136).
