Hooking Up the System
You can connect your MDS-102 to the following systems in either a digital or analog
configuration:
* Sony mini Hi-Fi component systems with a digital output jack
* Sony mini Hi-Fi component systems without a digital output jack
© Other audio equipment with a digital output jack
¢ Other audio equipment without a digital output jack.
Illustrations of these configurations appear on pages 11 to 14.
Before you begin
¢ Turn off the power to all the equipment to be connected
before making any connections.
* Note that the red plug of the supplied audio connecting
cord is for right-channel (R) connection and the white plug
for left-channel (L) connection. If another connecting cord
is necessary, use the optional RK-C510HG cord.
© Insert the connecting cords fully into the jacks. A loose
connection may cause hum pickup.
© Pull out the cords by grasping the plug, not the wire.

Insert the cable firmly.
The time display appears on the Mini Hi-Fi Component
Systems (available at a later date) instead of the MD unit
when both are connected by audio bus cable.

Notes on the optical digital input/output
jacks
Use the supplied optical cable to connect digital devices with
a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz (i.e, DAT decks,
amplifiers with digital inputs, DA converter units, etc.) to the
optical digital input and output jacks. Recording level
adjustment is not necessary when recording through the
optical cable from a digital source since the output level is
fixed.
Connecting the optical cable
Remove the plug. insert the cable firmly.
Digital sources with different sampling frequencies
cannot be recorded through the digital input jack
Only CD, MD (premastered) and DAT sources with a
sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz can be recorded through the
digital input jack. “Din Unlock” appears in the display
window when you attempt to record digital sources with a
sampling frequency different from that of the MD (such as
32- or 48- kHz DAT or BS). To record these sources to an MD
you must connect them through the analog LINE IN jacks.
