Model D2424 Reference Manual (Recording Digital Data)

<Note>

Data on the additional tracks cannot be digitally
recorded to the external device as it is. To output digital
data from the additional track, move it to the real tracks
first, then output it to the external device (using the
Track Exchange function). For more information on the
Track Exchange function, see page “

72

.”

Use the digital output setup menu in Setup mode to
assign output tracks.
With the default setting, the digital output is set to
[adat]. You can select “adat” or “SP DIF”.
To output adat digital signals to a connected adat
device, select “adat.” To output S/P DIF signals to a
connected CD-R, MD, or DAT recorder, select “SP
DIF.”

Setting the digital output

* See page “

118

” for more information on the [D. out?]

menu.

When you finish setting the parameters in Setup
mode, press the [EXIT/NO] key or the [STOP] button
to exit Setup mode.

Connecting a Digital Mixer

The following explanations assume that this is digital mixer, which can input digital signals whose
clock source can be setup at digital in.

<Note>

Connecting the recorder to an external digital device
via both digital input and output jacks may generate a
digital loop.

* If the connected external device has only a COAXIAL

(RCA pin) jack for digital input, use an optional Fostex
COP-1/96k (optical/coaxial converter).

Digital Mixer

<Precaution against the digital loop>

When interconnecting D2424 and a digital mixer as shown in above schematic, if the
D2424 “Setup of the digital input” is set to adat or “Sync” (synchronous mode) of S/P DIF,
and the digital mixer clock source is set to “DIGITAL IN,” a digital loop will be created and
it will not operate correctly.
In such a case, setup the D2424 “Setup of the digital input” to adat or “Async” (asynchronous
mode) of S/P DIF.
