3.Rotate the [JOG] dial to select the type of digital signal format (SPDIF or adat) to be used for the load operation.

Selecting “adat” will load data in the adat digital signal format. Selecting “SPDIF” will load data in the S/P DIF digital signal format.

7.Select the desired track range using the [JOG] dial.

You can select 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41 and 49 of the points that are flashing (left). Use the [SHUTTLE] dial to move the flashing cursor to the left, then turn the [JOG] dial to select 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56.

8.Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key. (“SURE?” flashes.)

"EXT" and "DIGITAL" will light up and "SURE?" will flash in the display.

<Notes>

•If digital signal is being input correctly, a “DIGITAL” and “EXT” indicator will light up on the display.

If the “DIGITAL” and “EXT” indicator flashes, check the connection, cabling, and the settings of the recorder and the external device.

•The FS indication will flash and warn you if the sampling frequency of the recorder and DAT vary when loading with S/P DIF digital signals. Be careful when setting the sampling frequency for adat digital signals because there will be no FS warning though there may be a discrepancy.

4.Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The digital signal selected is set and the program number currently set on the load destination current drive flashes. The size of the program recording is also displayed.

5.Rotate the [JOG] dial to select a Program into which to load data.

You can select any existing Program (from up to 99). If you select a Program that already contains data and execute the load operation, the existing data will be overwritten by the new data. If you do not wish to overwrite any data in any current Program, use the [JOG] dial to select “New PGM” to execute the load operation. You can do this only when the number of existing Programs is 99 or less and the hard disk has enough free space to accommodate the new data.

If a program that is already recorded with some sort of data is selected and loaded, only the song data loaded will be valid. All the data of the programs recorded on that same track up to then will be erased.

6.Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

Now you can select tracks into which to load.

10.Play the corresponding external device (DAT or adat).

The load operation starts when the recorder accepts the incoming digital signal. The time required for the load operation appears on the display and starts counting down.

Two tracks are loaded at a time from a DAT machine in the following order: Track 1 and 2, 3 and 4, etc. from a DAT machine. Eight tracks are loaded each time in the order of Track 1-8, 9-16, etc..

11.When the load operation is complete, “COMPLETED!” flashes on the display.

12.Press the [STOP] button or the [EXIT/NO] key to quit Setup mode.

The display will indicate the time base set for the loaded Program.

Press the [STOP] button or [EXIT/NO] key to return to one previous menu prior to the [EXECUTE/YES] key or if you want to cancel a procedure. Every time you press these keys you will move back one previous hierarchy, and eventually escape from the SETUP mode and return to the time base display. Note that all the song data saved will be invalid if you press the [STOP] button or [EXIT/NO] key while saving at <Step-10>.
