When inputting in stereo, you should select two
adjacent inputs (1–2, 3–4) so that track editing
can be performed more efficiently.
If you are recording from a connected mic, locate
the mic at a sufficient distance from the
D1600mkII so that it does not pick up noise.
Connections for recording digital sources
• Optical digital (S/P DIF) output of a digital output
device such as DAT or MD
↔ [S/P DIF IN] jack of
the D1600mkII (use an optical digital cable for con-
nection)
For details on assigning the audio inputs to mixer
channels and auditioning the input sound, refer to
“Assign audio inputs to the mixer” (→p.36)
4. Make other connections.
Connections for mixdown
Here’s how to make connections when the song cre-
ated on the D1600mkII will be mixed down on an
external recording device (DAT, MD, tape recorder,
etc.)
• Optical digital (S/P DIF) input of a digital record-
ing device such as DAT or MD
↔ [S/P DIF OUT]
of the D1600mkII
• AUX IN inputs of an analog recording device such
as a cassette tape recorder
↔ [MASTER OUT L/R]
jacks of the D1600mkII
Connections when using external effects
If you wish to apply an external effect to the signal
from the [AUX OUT] send output, use the [INPUT
1]–[INPUT 8] jacks to receive the return signal(s).
In this case, you can choose whether the signal(s) will
be returned to the mixer channel(s) in the same way
as a conventional input, or sent directly to the master
bus. Refer to “7. Using an external effect” (→p.58).
Connections when using a foot switch to perform
manual punch recording, or playback/stop etc.
Connect the pedal switch (separately sold option: PS-
1) to the [FOOT SW] jack.
Connections when using a foot pedal to control
effects
Connect the expression pedal (separately sold option:
EXP-2, XVP-10) to the [EXPRESSION PEDAL] con-
nector.
If a volume pedal is connected, it will not operate
correctly.
Connections when controlling effects or switching
scenes from an external MIDI device
Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the external
MIDI device
↔ [MIDI IN] connector of the
D1600mkII.
Connections for synchronizing the D1600mkII with
a MIDI sequencer
MIDI IN connector of your sequencer ↔ [MIDI OUT]
connector of the D1600mkII (use a MIDI cable for
connection)
MIDI OUT connector of your sequencer ↔ [MIDI IN]
connector of the D1600mkII
Connections for saving or backing-up data on your
computer
USB connector of your computer ↔ [USB] connector
of the D1600mkII (use a USB cable for connection)
2. Turning the power on/off
Turning the power on
Use the following procedure to turn on the power of the
D1600mkII and of the devices connected to it.
Before turning the power on, be sure to lower the vol-
ume of each device to the minimum position, and
turn the devices on beginning with the first device in
the signal chain (i.e., devices that produce audio sig-
nals).
1. Lower the D1600mkII’s [MASTER] fader to
the – ∞ position. Also turn down the vol-
ume of each connected device.
2. Turn on the power of the external input
device, such as a keyboard connected to the
D1600mkII.
3. Turn on the [Main power] of the
D1600mkII.
The STANDBY LED will light. The D1600mkII will be
in “standby” mode.
4. Press the [POWER] key of the D1600mkII to turn on
the power.
The opening message will appear in the LCD screen,
and then the [SONG/CD] “SelSong” tab page will
appear. The selected song will be the one that had
been selected when the power was last turned off.
5. Turn on the power of your external equipment, such
as the monitor system to which audio is being sent
from the D1600mkII.
Turning the power off
When you are finished playing or recording a song, turn
off the power. If you will not be using the D1600mkII for
an extended time (e.g., when you have finished work for
the day), be sure to turn off the main power so that the
power is turned off completely. Use the following proce-
dure to turn off the power of the D1600mkII and of the
connected devices.
Before turning off the power, turn the volume of all
devices down to the minimum position, and turn off
the power switches beginning with the devices that
are at the end of the audio signal chain.
When you wish to turn off the power, you must per-
form the shutdown operation. Never turn off the
[Main power] switch or disconnect the power cable
until the shutdown has been completed. If you turn
off the main power or disconnect the power cable be-
fore shutdown is complete, data or user settings may
be lost, or you may damage the hard disk.
Audio that is recorded on the D1600mkII and the
mixer settings you make are saved automatically
when you select or switch songs, or when you shut
down. However, effects that you edit will be lost un-
less you save them.
1. If you wish to keep any effect settings that you
edited, save them. Refer to “5. Editing an effect”
(→p.56).
2. Lower the [MASTER] fader of the D1600mkII to the
–∞ position. Lower the volume of any external
devices to the minimum position.
