Difference between digital (optical) and analog (line) inputs The input jack of this recorder works as both digital and analog input jacks. Connect the recorder to a CD player or a cassette recorder using either digital (optical) input or analog (line) input. To record, see "Recording a disc right away!" (page 19) to record using digital (optical) input, and "Recording from a TV or radio (Analog Recording)" (page 37) to record using analog (line) input.

In this case, play the source in normal play mode. • when programs with audio that is digitally broadcast (e.g., digital TV) are recorded through the digital (optical) input. 101
