4-2. Digital recording to an external digital device

This section explains how to record a digital data from the D-160 to an external digital device

* Restore the default settings on the D-160.

Connecting an external digital device

Connect the DATA OUTPUT connector of the D-160 with the digital input of an external digital device.

<Note>

The D-160 switches the DATA OUTPUT connector between the S/P DIF digital signal (OPTICAL) and the adat digital signal during setting of the digital input track in Setup mode. Both signals use the same connector configuration, but carry different data. When S/P DIF digital signals are to be output, DATA OUTPUT 1-8 only should be used, and when "adat" digital signals are to be output, either DATA OUTPUT 1-8 or 9-16 must be used.

External Digital Equipment

*If the external device has only a coaxial (RCA) type digital output connector, use an optional COP-1 optical/coaxial converter to connect the device to transmit an S/P DIF digital signal. The operation is the same as that for a device with a coaxial connector.

*If you connect both the digital input and output of the D-160 to those of an external digital device, a digital loop might be generated.

Refer to “4-3. Connecting a digital mixer” for more information.

Selecting a playback Program

Selecting the playback Program.

Refer to "2-2. Program Change" section for more information.

*Refer to “2-1. Setting a Program” , "2-2. Program Change" and "2-3. Deleting a Program" for more information on Programs.

Setting the sampling rate for a playback Program

You need to set the sampling rate of a playback Program to match that of the digital device before recording digital data.

*****IMPORTANT*****

When a digital signal is output from the D-160, be sure to match the sampling rate of the external digital device to that of the D-160. If the sampling rate setting does not match, you cannot record the S/P DIF digital signal and noise may be generated.

Refer to “2-4. Setting a sampling rate” for more information on how to check the sampling rate of the selected Program. You can also check the rate via the 48kHz indicator located above the display.
