Model D2424 Reference Manual (Recording Digital Data)

Selecting a recording Program

1.If you already have multiple Programs, select the desired Program using the Program Select function.

*See page “35” for more information on the Program Select function.

Setting the digital input

Set up the digital signal to be input and the digital in clock at the setup mode “Setup of digital inputs” menu.

The setting of digital input is initially set to “Analog” and digital signals cannot be input.

In order to record external digital signals, “SP DIF Async,” “SP DIF Sync,” “adat Async” or “adat Sync” should be setup in accordance to the purpose.

"SPDIF:Async":

S/P DIF digital signals from [DATA INPUT 1-8] will be assigned to tracks 1 and 2, and the digital equip- ment is synchronized with the internal clock of the D2424.

"SPDIF:Sync":

S/P DIF digital signals from [DATA INPUT 1-8] will be assigned to tracks 1 and 2, and will be synchro- nized with the S/P DIF digital signals from the exter- nal digital equipment.

<Notes>

Do not connect or disconnect the optical cable to the [DATA INPUT] jack when digital input is assigned. Doing so could generate noise in the D2424 and affect the external digital equipment.

When the digital input is set to “adat” (Async or Sync) and locked to any one among the three [DATA IN PUT] (1-8, 9-16, 17-24), “DIGITAL” will light in the display, and the tracks not locked will automatically change to analog input.

By using this function, analog/digital 24 track simultaneous recording will be possible by applying analog signals to tracks 1-8 and adat digital signals to tracks 9-16 and 17-24.

Setting recording tracks

Press the RECORD TRACK select keys of the tracks selected in the digital input track menu to ready the tracks for recording.

Recording

1.Locate the beginning of the Program.

2.Make sure that the [DIGITAL] indicators light up on the screen. While pressing and holding down the [RECORD] button, press the [PLAY] button to start recording.

"adat:Async"

adat digital signals from [DATA INPUT 1-8], [9-16] and [17-24] will be assigned to tracks 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24 respectively, and the digital equipment syn- chronized with the internal clock of D2424.

"adat:Sync"

adat digital signals from [DATA INPUT 1-8], [9-16] and [17-24] will be assigned to tracks 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24 respectively, and synchronized with the adat digital signals from the external digital equipment.

* Refer to page “117” for setup of [D.in?].

If digital input is set to "Analog," "SPDIF Async" or "adat Async," the SETUP mode "Clock Sel?" (setup of operating clock) must be set up.

<Note>

When the “Setup of digital inputs” is set to sync mode of “SPDIF sync” or “adat Sync”, the SETUP mode "Clock Sel?" setting will be ignored and the digital-in clock will have priority. In this case, "DIGITAL" and "EXT" will light up in the "CLOCK" section of the display.

3. Play the external digital device.

Make sure that the level meter segments light up and move as the digital signal is being input.

Completing recording

4.After you finish recording, stop the recorder and the connected digital equipment.
