Saving the data using DIGITAL/DATA OUT
S/P DIF digital signal (or adat digital signal) from the DIGITAL/DATA OUT connector of the recorder
is saved.
* Restore the initial settings on the recorder.
* Set the same sampling rate on the external digital device and the recorder.
Connecting an external device
Connect DIGITAL/DATA OUT connector of the recorder to the digital input connector on the external
digital device.
<Note>
The recorder has DIGITAL/DATA OUT connectors for an S/P DIF digital signal (OPTICAL) and for an adat digital
signal. These connectors have the same shape but carry different information.
When using the D1624, use the DIGITAL/DATA OUT 1-8 connector to save data. Do not use the DIGITAL/DATA
OUT 9-16 connector.
* If the external device has only COAXIAL type (RCA) digital I/O connectors, connect an optional COP-1/96k
(optical/coaxial converter) to use an S/P DIF digital signal.
* Connecting both output and input connectors on the recorder to the input and output connectors on the
external digital device respectively may generate a digital loop. Refer to “Connecting a digital mixer” on page
“
50 ” for more information.
Setting up an external device
1.Set the same sampling rate to that of the recorder.
2.Select digital input on the external device so that the external device will accept a digital signal.
On some external devices, you may have to set up so that the external device will synchronize with the incoming
digital signal.
<Note>
If the external device does not accept the digital signal or if you notice digital noise, check the connection,
cabling, and the settings of the recorder and the external device.
* Refer to the instruction manuals that came with any external digital device for details.
