Model D2424 Reference Manual (Changing the Initial Settings <SETUP mode>)

Setting digital input

1.While the recorder is stopped, press the [SETUP] key to enter SETUP mode.

2.Turn the [JOG] dial to select “D. in ?” (“?” flashes), then press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

When “D. in?” (“?” flashes) is selected, the presently set digital input content will be shown.

The flashing “?” is extinguished when the [EXECUTE/ YES] key is pressed and the digital input setting will change from lighting to flashing.

In the initial setting, “Analog” will flash as shown below.

3.Select the desired digital signal and digital-in clock with the [JOG] dial.

In addition to “Analog”, “adat: Async”, “adat: Sync”,

“SPDIF: Async” or “SPDIF: Sync” can be selected.

“Async”/“Sync” which is displayed together with the digital signal (S/P DIF or adat) must be selected to whether the system is to be synchronized or not with the digital-in clock.

If you do not wish to synchronize the system with digital in, select “Async” and, if it is to be synchronized, select “Sync”.

4.After selecting, press the [EXECUTE/YES] key again.

The selected digital signal is registered and “?” in Step- 2 will return to flashing.

When the digital input is setup and the correct digital signal is input, “DIGITAL” will light up in the display. If set to synchronous mode of “adat: Sync” or “SPDIF: Sync” and locked to the external digital signal, “EXT” will simultaneously light up.

To cancel the operation, or to restore the setting obtained prior to the [EXECUTE/YES] key press, press the [STOP] button or the [EXIT/NO] key. Each time you press one of these keys, the recorder returns to the previous hierarchy level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP mode and displays the previous Time Base.

<Notes>

•Should “DIGITAL” flash in the display, check the connecting cable between the external equipment and the external equipment setting.

•When the digital input is set up for “adat” (Async or Sync), should any one among the three DATA INPUT (1-8, 9-16, 17-24) be locked, "DIGITAL" will light up in the display.

In such a case, tracks not locked will be automatically set for analog input.

By using this function, for example, if analog signals are input to tracks 1-8 and adat digital signals to tracks 9-16 and 17-24, a total of 24 tracks can be recorded simultaneously.

Setting digital output (“D. out ?” menu)

By using the “Setting a digital output” menu, the type of digital signal to be output to external digital equipment from the DATA OUTPUT connector (1-8, 9-16, 17-24) of this recorder, can be setup.

Also, by using this function, sound recorded in this recorder can be sent to external digital equipment (MD, DAT, adat, digital mixer) in direct digital signals.

• Initial setting:	[adat]
• Assignable digital signal:	[adat] (adat digital signal)
	[SPDIF] (S/P DIF digital signal)

*This setting is shared by all Programs in the same disk.

*The settings cannot be saved and loaded as part of the song data.

*The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the recorder.

<Function of the DATA OUTPUT connectors>

<Setup for S/P DIF digital signals>

When the digital output is set up for S/P DIF, all DATA OUTPUT connectors can be used.

Signals of tracks 1-2 are output from OUTPUT 1-8; the signals of tracks 3-4 from OUTPUT 9-16; and signals from tracks 5-6 from OUTPUT 17-24.

<Setup for adat digital signals>

When the digital output has also been setup for adat, all DATA OUTPUT connectors can be used.

Signals of tracks 1-8 is output from OUTPUT 1-8; the signals of tracks 9-16 from OUTPUT 9-16; and signals from tracks 17-24 from OUTPUT 17-24.
