MR-8HD/CD Owner’s Manual (Basic operations)
1) Connect the [DIGITAL OUT] connector of the
MR-8HD/CD to the digital input connector of a
digital master recorder using an optical cable.
<Note>: The [ DIGITAL OUT ] connector of the
MR-8HD/CD is the Toslink optical type.
If your digital recorder provides only the
coaxial type connector, use the Fostex COP-
1/96 kHz coaxial-optical converter.
Contact Fostex or our dealer for details
about the Model COP-1/96 kHz.
The following describes how to make mixdown recording to an external digital recorder.
<Tip>: By sliding up or down the MR-8HD/
CD [ MASTER ] fader gradually, you can fade
in or fade out recording.

2) Set the master recorder to accept the digital
input.
Make sure that the recorder accepts the digital
signal output from the MR-8HD/CD, which is
44.1-kHz, 16-bit, S/P DIF signal.
Generally, a digital recorder cannot adjust the
digital input level.
3) While playing back the MR-8HD/CD, rehearse
mixing down the recorded sounds by adjusting
the level and panning of each track, applying
effects to tracks 1 through 4 and applying the
mastering effects to the L/R stereo mix, etc.
See " Using effects " on page 57 for details about
the delay/reverb and mastering effects.
You can also mix sound sources connected to
[
INPUT A ] through [ INPUT D ] during mixdown.
See page 72 for details.
4) Use the [MASTER] fader of the MR-8HD/CD to
adjust the output level.
Adjust the level appropriately so that the level
meter of the master recorder shows "0" when
the MR-8HD/CD outputs the biggest signal.
If the level meter exceeds "0", the sound may
be distorted.
5) Start the master recorder recording and then start
the MR-8HD/CD playing back.
6) After finishing recording, stop both recorders.
