A loaded question to be sure.
Here's my problem. I am trying to record digitally
from a DenonDN-C680 CD Player (no optical output) to
my Sharp MT-15.
I bought a Coax -> Optical converter from someone who
had advertised it on this list. It seems to be
working OK as I see a red light on the cable that is
coming out from the unit (optical -> mini).
I have a digital coax cable that I bought from Sound
Professionals running from the CD player into the
converter. The coax cable is coming from the digital
out (unbalanced) RCA type-jack on the CD player.
There is also an XLR type connection, but that doesn't
do me any good.
The message on the MD unit says "Can't Record". I
have tried using the Sync/Enter button with the CD
player running or in pause or stop mode (which is how
it is supposed to work). I have also tried hitting
the record button and then Sync/Enter; or record and
then play (as if it were a cassette deck). The
message consistently says "Can't record". The only
difference is that when I hit the record button, the
VU meter on the MD actually shows the recording level
- it doesn't record, just shows the level to taunt me.
Can anyone explain this to me? I thought I was
beginning to grasp all of this, but I guess not. This
is why I bought the Sony MDX-D3, though it would be
really convenient for me to record from this unit as
well. Not to mention that I have spent about $65.00
on equipment to make it work. For $35.00 more, I
could have gotten a portable CD player with optical
out. Too late now, though.
Thanks for your help.
James
