Saving the data using DATA OUT
* Restore the initial settings on the D-108.
* Set the same sampling rate on the external digital device and the D-108.
Connecting an external device
Connect DATA OUTPUT connector of the D-108 to the digital input connector on the external digital device.
<Note>
The D-108 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.
* 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-108 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 D-108.
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 D-108 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 (6)
* Programs available: P01 - P99
* Track available: When using an adat or DAT: Tracks 1-8, Tracks 1-16, Tracks 1-24, Tracks 9-16,
Tracks 9-24, Tracks 17-24;
When using a SCSI disk: All tracks will be automatically selected.
S/P DIF digital signal (or adat digital signal) from the DATA OUT jack of the D-108 is saved. The prerequisite
is that an E-IDE harddisk is used as a current drive.
