Guest Anonymous Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 if my minidisk recorder(mzr-900) records analog signals , because it won't take a digital signal from the p.c. , do i need to purchase a special cable with an optical attachment on one end for my p.c link and a line in connection for my minidisk?

JeffS Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 In short, Yes. If your source is digital, and optical, you will use a toslink optical cable. Essentially, it's just a simple fiber optic cable that will transmit the light signal from your pc to your MD. The side for the MD should obviously have a mini-plug end, or an adapter to make it one. The other side should have whatever kind of connection you have there. More than likely it will be a toslink (kinda squarish thing). If the digital signal from your pc is not optical, but is digital, this won't be quite as easy. They both transmit in SPDIF, however you will need to convert the digital signal to an optical signal. The good news is, this isn't hard to do. The bad news is, unless you're a do-it-yourselfer, it could cost a few more dollars than you care to spend. check out the midiman co3 for a good converter, that will also strip the scms bit. and Browse the net, espcecially minidisc.org for instructions on building your own. good luck hope this helps -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
