My CD Rom (Panasonic?) has 2 small pins on the back of the cct bd for
digital out.
I couldn't find a suitable plug so I soldered a length of coax cable
directly to them and terminated the other end with an RCA plug.
It plugs directly into the coaxial input on my JA3-ES and works great -
track marks are also captured OK.
This does not work with all CD Rom drives - there have been reports of
the start of tracks not being recorded and track marks missing etc.
If you only have an optical input you will need to build a small toslink
convertor - details are on the MD web page.
