with the proms in full flow, I thought I'd try recording directly from R3 online broadcast onto Minidisc- to listen again later. Using a coax from the nd5, to a digital in, on a SonyJA333ES, it gave me the message on the Sony, "din unlock C71", and would not record. the manual was not very helpful, but it does not seem to be a copy protection issue (as far as I can see). Has anybody else come across this, and is there a way round this ?. Still perhaps need to try a bit of rebooting.

One possible solution that may allow you to record from the nd5 stream would be to use a dac with a separate digital out. you would then be able to listen to the stream via the analogue out of the dac into your amp and then connect the digital out to your recorder - this may of course not work if there is copy protection built into the nd5xs dig out stream.. The old cambridge dacmagic had a dig out facility - not sure which dacs have it now. Of course you would need to remember any copyright issues.
Alternatively you can go to the BBC i player and listen to the proms for up to 7 days after the concert.

many thanks - I suspect that the iplayer is a very much lower bit rate than the 300+ bit rate of the actual broadcast. The 64k dollar question is whether Naim build in copy protection, although the Sony has a different code for that. Plan B is to record analogue, which is pretty good (via a Meridian pre-amp), but not quite the same.

Check that the input connector setting on the deck is switched to digital instead of analogue.
Also, check your cable is connected properly...
