Before you start...

There are various ways to integrate the MJ-D508 into

your stereo system, depending on what other equipment

you have and what you want to do. The diagrams on this

and the following page show possible connections with

various other components. Before you start connecting

your system, make sure that all the components are

switched off and disconnected from the wall outlet.

About optical and coaxial jacks

The MJ-D508 has both optical and coaxial jacks for digital

input (from a CD player or another MD recorder, for

example). This is for convenience only; there's no differ

ence at all in the sound quality, but since some equipment

has only one type of connector—and you can only

connect like with like—having both on this recorder can

be an advantage. If your other component also has both,

connect whichever is more convenient.

If you're using the coaxial-type digital input you'll need a

lead with an RCA/phono plug at each end (the same type

of connector as the audio cables supplied).

To use the optical jack, first pull out

the dust cap. Keep it for futur^use.

The optical lead (supplied, except in

the US) will only go in one way, so

match up the jack and the plug

before inserting.

Take care not to bend optical cable

around sharp corners when installing

as this can damage the cable. When storing optical cable,

coil loosely.

Connecting to an amplifier

____

with a digital input

The most basic connection is an output to your amplifier

or receiver so that you can hear the disc your playing. If

you own an amplifier/receiver with a PCM-compatible

optical digital input (check your amplifier/receiver's

instruction manual if you're unsure about this), you can

connect it to the digital output of this unit., However,

there may be no advantage in doing this over using the

analog connections shown opposite—use your ears to

judge which sounds better.
