1. Saving the data using DATA OUT
* Restore the initial settings on the D-160.
* Set the same sampling rate on the external digital device and the D-160.
Connecting an external device
Connect DATA OUTPUT 1-8 connector of the D-160 to the digital input connector on the
external digital device.
<Notes>
* The D-160 has 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.
* Use the DATA OUTPUT 1-8 connector to save data. Do not use the DATA OUTPUT 9-16
connector.
* At save/load using DAT and adat, independent save/load in 8 track units is possible.
In this case, the data in 8 track units are not distinguished as track 1~8 or 9~16 but simply
handled as eight track data. Therefore, because this 8 track data is compatible with D-90 if it
is in 8 track units (any one combination of 1~8, 9~16 or 17~24), data saved from D-160 can
be loaded in tracks 1~8 of the D-90. In this case, data in the tracks which were not loaded will
remain intact.

External Digital Equipment (DAT or RD-8 or Adat)
• If the external device has only COAXIAL type (RCA) digital I/O connectors, connect an
optional COP-1 (optical/coaxial converter) to use an S/P DIF digital signal.
• Connecting both output and input connectors on the D-160 to the input and output
connectors on the external digital device respectively may generate a digital loop.
Refer to “4-3. Connecting a digital mixer” on page "65" for more information.
Setting up an external device
1. Set the same sampling rate to that of the D-160.
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. For example, if you are using a Fostex RD-8, select “DIGITAL IN”
and set “Clock Source (external sync signal)” to “Word Optical (adat).”
<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 D-160 and the external device.
* Refer to the instruction manuals that came with any external digital device for details.
Executing the save operation
Use the “Save PGM?” menu in Setup mode.
* Output format available: adat, DAT, SCSI
* Programs available: P1 - P99
* You can save one Program at a time.
