Digital recording to external digital equipment

Tunes recorded on the D2424 can be recorded on external digital equipment such as MD, DAT, CD- R or adat. In order to digital record to external digital equipment, digital signals to be output at the D2424 [DATA OUTPUT] connector must be set to “SP DIF” or “adat” (The initial setup is “adat.”) by the “Setup of digital output” menu in the D2424 SETUP mode. The currently active program can be digitally recorded and “Setup of digital outputs” will be common to all programs.

Connecting external digital equipment

1. Use an optical cable to connect the [DATA OUTPUT] connector of the recorder to the OPTICAL IN (or adat IN) jack of the external digital equipment.

Set the external equipment input port to “digital” so that digital signals can be input.

Because some digital equipment must be externally synchronized against digital signals, in addition to setting the input port to “digital,” be sure to refer to the operating manual of any digital equipment to be used.

Depending on the digital signal that is output, the [DATA OUTPUT] connector will function as explained below.

<Notes on interconnecting>

[DATA OUTPUT] of the D2424 must be setup for S/P DIF digital signals (optical) or adat digital signals by the "Setup of digital output" menu in the SETUP mode. Although the connector type is same for both S/ P DIF digital and adat digital signals, their information content is different. Depending on the digital signal selected, the following signals are output from each output connector.

<At output of S/P DIF digital signals>
