S/P DIF DATA OUTPUT
Saving data using the S/PDIF digital signal
You can save data using the S/PDIF digital signal via the [S/P DIF DATA OUTPUT] (coaxial) jack.
• Use an external digital recorder that supports 44.1 kHz sampling frequency (the same as the VF80,
Connecting to an external digital recorder
Connect the [S/P DIF DATA OUTPUT] jack to the digital
input jack of the external digital recorder (DAT, etc.).
<Note>
Do not do anything, such as unplug the connecting
cable, that interrupts the digital signal until the saving
operation is completed. Otherwise, the unit may
generates a noise which damages an external recorder.
• If your digital recorder only provide the optical digital
input jack and does not provide the coaxial jack, use
the optional COP-1 (optical/coaxial converter).
• Do not connect digital signals for both directions
between the VF80 and the external recorder (i.e. the
digital output of the VF80 to the digital input of the
external recorder and the digital output of the external
recorder to the digital input of the VF80), which may
form a digital loop and cause feedback.
Setting the external recorder
Set the sampling frequency to 44.1 kHz (the same as
the VF80).
Set the input source to "digital input" to accept the
signal from the VF80.
Some machine also needs to select the clock reference
to "external" when setting the input source to "digital
input". See the operation manual of the machine for
the detailed information.
<Note>
If you cannot hear the input signal or you hear
digital noise when monitoring the source signal of
the external digital recorder, check the connections,
cables and settings of both the VF80 and the external
recorder.
• See the operation manual of the external recorder for the
detailed information.
