GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
¶ If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other), it will fit into the outlet only one way. This
is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
¶ If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding)
pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION -- Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be

they exit from the product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING -- If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the product,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure
A.
LIGHTNING -- For added protection for this product
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product
due to lightning and power-line surges.
POWER LINES -- An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from touching such power

FEATURES
This unit can be used to record CD-R (CD recordable) discs or CD-RW (CD rewritable) discs.
Once recorded, a CD-R disc cannot be erased. However, a recorded CD-RW disc can be erased later.
Both CD-R and CD-RW discs provide the high sound quality and excellent durability that is the hall mark of ordinary
prerecorded CDs (compact discs).
& Playback of CD-R, CD-RW and CD discs
This recorder can be used to play partially recorded CD-R or CD-RW discs, finalized CD-R or CD-RW discs and ordinary
prerecorded CD discs.
& Creation of CD-compatible discs
A CD-R disc can be played on any CD player just like ordinary prerecorded CD discs provided it has been finalized (by
recording TOC) after recording.
CD-RW discs can only be played back on a player specially designed to handle CD-RW discs.
& Sampling frequency converter
When recording a digital source using 32 kHz or 48 kHz sampling frequency such as satellite broadcasting, DAT and
DCC, this unit automatically converts the sampling frequency into 44.1 kHz which is the sampling frequency used with
the CD.
However, the digital monitoring signal which is output during recording with this unit is based on the same sampling
frequency as the recorded source.
& Digital-source synchro recording modes
When recording digital signals from a CD, DAT, MD or DCC, the recording on this unit can be started and stopped in
synchronism with the starting and stopping of the playback of the source component.
A mode for synchro recording of a single track from the above-mentioned sources is available so that edited recording
is easy.
& Build-in Multi-Level
(Delta-Sigma) DAC
The multi-level Digital-Analog Converter achieves superior resolution compared to the conventional Delta-Sigma DAC,
thus producing high conversion accuracy even when jitter is present in the system clock.
& 1-bit A/D converter
The A/D converter (analog-to-digital converter) of this unit uses the latest 1-bit conversion system. This system pro-
vides the following advantages compared to previous systems.
÷ Zero-cross distortion does not occur from the principle.
÷ Non-linear distortion does not occur throughout the frequency band.
÷ High accuracy is possible without adjustment.
These advantages preserve the original quality of the music including low-level signals.
& Newly-developed 3-beam differential push-pull pickup
The newly developed 3-beam pickup with differential push-pull system stabilizes operations and reproduces rich me-
dium and low frequencies.
& Direct construction with minimized signal path and separated
digital and audio
The direct construction reduces cross-interference between signals by achieving a correct signal transfer. It reproduces
musical signals with high purity by thoroughly improving the distortion, channel separation and level linearity values.
These improvements are not in terms of values at a single point but applied over a wide frequency range.
