Fostex D-160 owner manual Saving the data using Data OUT, 104, Connecting an external device

D-160 Owner's Manual (Saving and loading data)

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.

DIGITAL IN

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.
