Hookups
p Connecting the deck to an amplifier
Use the supplied audio connecting cords to connect
the deck to an amplifier. Be sure to match each
color-coded plug to the appropriate jack: red (right)
to red and white (left) to white. To prevent hum and
noise, be sure the connections are firmly made.
Note
If "PROHIBIT" appears in the display, recording through the
digital jack is not possible.
In this case, set the INPUT switch to ANALOG and record
the program source through the ANALOG IN jacks.
Connecting the AC power cord
Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet.
Where do I go next?
Now you're ready to use your deck.
For basic operations, go to pages 6 to 8; for advanced
operations, go to the sections starting from page 9.

z When recording with a microphone
Connecting the analog output jakcs on the stereo
microphone amplifier to the ANALOG IN jacks of the
deck.
p Connecting the deck to a digital audio component
A digital audio signal from a digital audio
component such as a digital amplifier, DAT deck,
CD player, MD deck or BS tuner can be recorded on
the DAT deck by connecting the digital output
connectors on the component to the digital input
connectors (DIGITAL OPTICAL IN or DIGITAL
COAXIAL IN) on the deck.
A digital audio signal from the deck can be recorded
by connecting the digital output connector
(DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT) on the deck to the digital
input connector on a digital audio component such
as a digital amplifier, DAT deck or MD deck.
Use optical cables (POC-15A or equivalent) (not
supplied) or a coaxial digital connecting cable
(VMC-10G or equivalent) (not supplied).
