Now the Digital Out is set to "adat".

Setting the reference clock

When setting "Digital In" (see the previous page) to an "Async" mode ("adat: Async" or "SPDIF: Async"), you must select whether the recorder is referenced to the internal clock or word clock from an external digital device. When setting "Digital In" to a "Sync" mode ("adat: Sync" or "SPDIF: Sync"), the recorder is referenced to the word clock received through the external digital audio signal.

7. Select the desired reference clock by using the Jog dial, and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The reference clock is now set to your desired clock. When connecting the recorder to a digital mixing console that can accept the word clock from the WORD OUT of the recorder, set the recorder's reference clock to “Int”. See the table below in other cases.

<About reference clock setting>

You must set the reference clock when setting "Digital In" (see the previous page) to an "Async" mode ("adat: Async" or "SPDIF: Async"). You can select from “Auto”, “Word” and “Video” in addition to the default “Int”.

Note that “Video” is available only when the optional TC/SYNC card (model 8346) is installed.

See the table below about the relation between the Digi- tal In setting and reference clock.

8. Press the [EXIT/NO] key or [STOP] button to exit the SETUP mode.

The display shows the beginning of the disk with ABS time base.

After complete “Digital In”, “Digital Out” and “Reference Clock” settings, execute the basic recording in a similar manner to "Basic analog recording" described earlier.
