Refer to page 48 for more information on using the DATA OUT jack.

Note: You can save only the data recorded on the current drive formatted in [Master] mode to a DAT or adat. You cannot save data recorded in [Normal] mode.

12. Data input jack [DATA IN] (Connector: OPTICAL)

Connect this jack to the OPTICAL digital output (or adat Out) of an external digital device to load song data from a DAT or an adat, or to record data digitally from a digital device (MD, DAT, CD-R, or adat) to the FD-8.

Names and Functions

Display Section

The FD-8 uses a liquid crystal display which integrates a 9- digit/35-dot message section, 7-segment display section, and level meters.

The level meters indicate the output level of tracks 1-8 and stereo out L/R.

The time display shows various temporal information in different units, such as ABS time (absolute time), MTC (MIDI timecode), BAR/BEAT/CLK (bar/beat/clock), and makes it easy to check the recorder’s current time.

The message display shows various messages required to operate the FD-8, and offers interactive operation.

This section describes display functions along with examples.

Display when the power is turned on

When you turn on the power to the FD-8 and the connected external SCSI drive (a formatted removable disk or hard disk), the display shows the [Initial...] message, [Current Dr], the name of the connected current drive, then recording mode (Master or Normal), and finally the top position of the disk in the Time Base (ABS, MTC, or BAR/BEAT/CLK) used in the last Program before you turned the power off. The following example indicates that the FD-8 started with the ABS Time Base used in Program 1.

13.SCSI connector [SCSI] (Connector: D-SUB 25-pin)

Connect an external current SCSI drive as the recording media or as a backup SCSI drive for the FD-8.

The current drive is recognized. (If the cur- rent drive is a SCSI device, [SCSI] lights up. If the current drive is an optional internal hard disk, [IDE] lights up.)
