Inputting audio with no loss of quality (Digital In Assign)

The BR-1600CD is equipped with a coaxial-type, DIGITAL
IN connector. You can use this connector to input audio
signals as is from a BOSS GT-6, a CD player, an MD player,
or any other type of digital device that features a coaxial-
type, digital out connector; furthermore, this type of audio
input is free from the type of sound quality degradation that
is characteristic of analog lines.

Digital In Assign

OFF:

Digital signals coming from the DIGITAL IN connector
will be ignored and will not be input.

INPUT:

The audio signals entering via the DIGITAL IN
connector will be routed to the inputs specified by the
current Input Select status (Basic Operation; p. 24).
When [GUITAR/BASS] or [VOCAL] from INPUT SELECT
is currently turned on, the left and right audio signals from
the DIGITAL IN connector will be input as a mono mix.
Alternatively, if [MULTI-TRACK] or [STEREO TRACKS]
from INPUT SELECT is currently turned on, the left and
right audio signals from the DIGITAL IN connector will
be routed to INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 respectively.
Note that while input is being accepted from the
DIGITAL IN port, no analog signals will be routed to the
inputs selected here.
SUB-MIX
The audio signals entering via the DIGITAL IN
connector will be mixed with the signal being output via
the LINE OUT jacks.
As these signals are routed directly to the output, it will
not be possible to apply effects or to record them.
In addition, you will not be able to adjust the volume of
these signals using the INPUT SENS knobs, the INPUT
LEVEL knob, or the MASTER fader.
5.

Press [EXIT/NO] several times to return to the top screen.

• Only a coaxial cable can be used with the BR-
1600CD's DIGITAL IN connector. Optical cables
cannot be used for this purpose.
• You will not be able to adjust the volume of the
digital input signal using the INPUT SENS knobs.
• The digital input signal must be of S/PDIF format
with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. No other types of
digital audio can be input.
• When a digital signal is being input, the BR-1600CD
will synchronize with this signal, adjusting its
recording and playback speed to match any error or
fluctuation in the signal. Please note that as a result,
poor quality input signals can produce skipping or
fluctuation in the BR-1600CD's audio output, and
noise may also be produced.
