D-108 Quick Operation Guide

Basic recording

After you finish preparing a recording media and connecting a mixer, you can start basic recording using the D-108.

Initial settings

You need to reset all the controls on the D-108 to their initial settings according to the controls and switches on the mixer before you proceed to the next step. This procedure is called “Initialize” in this Guide and in the User’s Guide. The buttons and switches on the D-108 should be reset as shown below. Remember to “initialize the D-108” before you start a new session.

Turn off AUTO RTN mode and AUTO PLAY mode. (AUTO RTN andAUTO PLAY indicators turn off.)

The STORE key and RECALL key LEDs turn off.

Locate the top of the selected Program (ABS 0).

Turn off AUTO PUNCH mode. (The REHEARSAL and TAKE LEDs go off.)

Setting sampling frequency

You can select a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz or 48kHz on the D-108. The sampling frequency setting does not affect sound quality too much if you are using only analog signals. However, it becomes important if you transfer digital signals to and from an external digital device. For example, when you make a digital recording from a CD player, you need to set the D-108’s sampling frequency to 44.1kHz since the CD’s sampling frequency is 44.1kHz. If you use adat digital signals of 48kHz, you need to set the D-108’s sampling frequency to 48kHz.

In this way, set the sampling frequency to match that of the digital signals to be recorded. The default setting of the sampling frequency (right after formatting or selecting a new Program) is “44.1kHz.”

If you use this setting, you do not need to perform the steps described on the next page. You can check the current sampling frequency on the display.
