Remedy
Record the source through the
analog inputs.
Check that the digital input cable is
connected properly and that the
power of the source player is on.
Check that the source is a regular
music source.
Set the INPUT SELECT to the
digital input.
If recording from a source other
than CD, MD, DAT or DCC, use
the manual digital recording mode.
Stop the source player. After a
short time, "SYNC–1" or "SYNC
–A" is displayed, and the recorder
goes into synchro–record-pause
mode.
Wait until the message disappears.
