I've never experienced that problem before. I did try a direct connection from the Dish Net receiver's optical digital output to the Pioneer 739's optical digital input, bypassing the Yamaha receiver. The results were the same. It recognized the sampling frequency as 44Khz, but would NOT recognize the actual signal.Thanks for your response. I was going to keep the HK CDR2, as a HK rep. told me a work around for monitoring while dubbing.
After trying that setup(hooking up CDP deck outputs "instead" of CD-R deck outputs), I realized now I can't monitor any sources while recording from an 'external' source. I have my minidisc player/recorder plugged directly into the HK CDR2's coaxial digital input, bypassing the receiver. The biggest problem is the dual mode function. I'm finding that whenever the record button is pushed, it puts the deck into dual mode. The dual mode forces the CDP decks output to only pass a signal directly from the CDP deck. That also forces the CD-R decks ouput to only pass a signal from the CD-R deck. So in simplified terms, any time the record function is done, the deck act as two 'separate' players. 2 ways around this would had made it a good operating deck. Either stop forcing the dual mode, and make it selectable while recording, or allow signal monitoring through the CD-R deck's outputs, while dubbing off of the internal CDP deck. Philips recorder can do this simple task, why can't the $200 more HK do it.
To finally end this rewardless adventure, the HK now makes a very loud, speaker damaging howling sound through it's analog outputs whenever the power is turned off by the front panel switch. This is it. I'm finally, completely done with these CD-R components. Maybe I'll try in a few years when hopefully all the reliability and design problems have been ironed out.
Back to minidisc!
