If you use the optical cable with the MD's digital input, no problem. It
will be digital. That should be obvious.
But, if you want to copy an MD out to a digital device, first thing you will
need to do is make sure that your recording digital device has SCMS disabled
otherwise it will not allow you to make a copy of the MD you're playing from
your portable.
Important rule though, when all else fails, RTFM.

Subject: MD: Analog/Digital Recording
Hi. I'm new to this list and new to mini-discs so, please forgive me if this
question has
already been dealt with. I recently bought a Sharp MD-MS702 MK. It came
with an
optical/digital cable for digital recording. And, the manual talks about
analog and
digital recording.
What's not clear to me is if I record using the optical cable from a digital
source (my
Roland VS880 multi-track or a DAT deck) am I recording an analog version of
the sound or
am I copying the digital information? Also if I record via mic, which will
be analog, can
I copy it out to a digital device as digital information? Somehow this
doesn't seem
possible but I'm not certain I understand the difference in the cabling.
