Recording digitally from an external device
1. Connect an optical cable to the DMT-8’s DATA IN and to the OPTICAL
OUT connector on the external digital device (CD player or MD player).
If the external digital device has only coaxial connectors for digital output, use
an optical COP-1 (optical/coaxial converter).
2. Pressing the STORE key while holding down the HOLD/> key allows you
to select a recording Program.
3. Assign a recording track in "dG in" of Setup mode on the DMT-8.
If digital signal is being input correctly, the display will show the illuminated
message "DIGITAL IN". If the signal input is incorrect, this message will blink.
4. Press the RECORD TRACK select key for the track you selected in Step 3,
and the display will show "READY".
5. Confirm that "DIGITAL IN" on the display is lit, and press the RECORD
button while holding down the PLAY button on the DMT-8 to start
recording.
You do not have to adjust the digital recording level.
6. Start playing back data on the external digital device.
7. When recording is complete, press the STOP button on both the DMT-8
and the digital device.
