D824/D1624 Quick Operation Guide
Assuming that the recorder is connected to an external digital mixing console, let's make a basic multitrack
recording of "adat" digital signals. (See the instruction manual of the digital mixing console about how to
output "adat" digital signals from the console.) To make a multitrack recording of "adat" digital signals by
connecting the recorder to a digital mixing console, you first have to set "Digital In (D. In?)" and "Digital Out
(D. Out?)" in the SETUP mode to input and output "adat" digital signals, as well as to set "Reference clock
(Clock Sel?)".
Basic digital recording
1. Press the SETUP key to enter the SETUP mode.
The [Signature Set?] menu appears.
2. Select the [D. in?] menu by using the JOG dial,-
and press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The current selection will be displayed together with "D.
in?" (the default is "Analog").
By pressing the EXECUTE/YES key, the selection starts flash-
ing, showing that you can now change the selection.

If the mixing console cannot be locked to the digital word
clock, select [adat:Sync].

Selecting Digital Out
After completing the Digital In setting, select "Digital Out".
When setting Digital In to an "Async" mode ([adat:Async] or
[SPDIF:Async]), Also select "Reference clock".
4. Select the [D.out?] menu by using the JOG dial,
and press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The current selection is displayed together with "D. out?".
The default is [D.out adat]. If another selection is displayed,
select [D.out adat] using the following operation.
Press the EXECUTE/YES key and the current selection will
starts flashing.
<About Digital Out selection>
In addition to [D. out adat] which is the default setting, you can
select [D. out SPDIF].
When [D. out adat] is selected, the outputs of Tracks 1-8 (*) are
assigned to Digital Out. This default setting allows to feed digital
signals to a digital mixing console or adat device equipped with
the "adat" input terminal.
<About Digital In selection>
Besides the default [Analog] setting, you can select the desired
setting from [SPDIF:Async], [SPDIF:Sync], [adat:Async] and
[adat:sync].
When [Analog] is selected, no digital input is assigned to any
track so you cannot accept digital signals from the DIGITAL/
DATA IN terminals.
When [SPDIF:Async] or [SPDIF:Sync] is selected, the S/P DIF sig-
nal (for L and R) from an external digital device are assigned to
Track 1 and 2 of the recorder. According to the system configu-
ration, select "asynchronizing to the digital input" (Async) or
"synchronizing to the digital input" (Sync).
When [adat:Async] or [adat:Sync] is selected, the "adat" signals
(ch. 1 - ch. 8) from an external "adat" device are assigned to the
inputs of recorder's Tracks 1 - 8 (*). According to the system
configuration, select "asynchronizing to the digital input" (Async)
or "synchronizing to the digital input" (Sync).
(*) With the D824, Tracks 1-8 are assigned to DIGI-
TAL/DATA OUTs 1-8. With the D1624, Tracks 1-8 are
assigned to DIGITAL/DATA OUTs 1-8, and Tracks 9-
16 are assigned to DIGITAL/DATA INs 9-16.
When [D. out SPDIF] is selected, the outputs of two tracks (*) are
assigned to Digital Out. This setting allows output the S/P DIF
digital signal (for L and R) to an external digital device.
(*) With the D824, Tracks 1-8 are assigned to DIGI-
TAL/DATA OUTs 1-8. With the D1624, Tracks 1 and
2 are assigned to DIGITAL/DATA OUTs 1-8, and Tracks
3 and 4 are assigned to DIGITAL/DATA INs 9-16.
(*) With the D824, Tracks 1-8 are assigned to DIGI-
TAL/DATA INs 1-8. With the D1624, Tracks 1-8 are
assigned to DIGITAL/DATA INs 1-8, and Tracks 9-16
are assigned to DIGITAL/DATA INs 9-16.
If you select [adat:Async] when the normal "adat" digital
signals are fed from the digital mixing console, [DIGITAL]
will light. If you select [adat:Sync], [DIGITAL] and [EXT
SYNC] will light.
