That's pretty easy. You don't need to convert the analog signel from your hi-fi system 
to digital for your minidisc via an external ADC (Analog-Digital Converter). Your 
minidisc recorder has one built in. So just get a analog RCA cable (the one with a 
white and a red plug at one end and a stereo minijack like the one you use for 
headphones), plug it into the line out (or maybe it's called tape out) on your AIWA 
and into the line in of your minidisc recorder, and off you go.
If your AIWA doesn't have a line out, get a cable with stereo minijacks on *both* ends 
and plug it into the headphone out of the hi-fi. That might not be a connection with 
the best quality (you'll have to experiment with the volume on your hi-fi a bit), but 
for tapes it will suffice.

Hope that helps,

Enno
