Loading data using the S/P DIF or adat digital signal

You can load data using the S/PDIF or adat digital signal via the [DIGITAL/DATA IN] jack.

*Use an external device that supports 44.1 kHz sampling frequency (the same as the VF160EX).

Connecting to an external device

Connect the [DIGITAL/DATA IN] jack to the digital output jack of the external digital device.

<Notes>

The DIGITAL/DATA OUT jack accommodates either the S/PDIF (optical) or adat digital signal selected. Though the S/PDIF (optical) and adat digital signal use the same connector shape, the signal formats are different.

Do not do anything, such as unplug the optical cable, that interrupts the digital signal until the loading operation is completed. Otherwise, the unit may generates a noise which damages an external device.

adat or DAT

When using the S/PDIF signal, if your DAT only provide the coaxial (RCA) digital input jack and does not provide the optical jack, use the optional COP-1/ 96kHz (optical/coaxial converter).

Do not connect digital signals for both directions between the VF160EX and the external device (i.e. the digital output of the VF160EX to the digital input of the external device and the digital output of the external device to the digital input of the VF160EX), which may form a digital loop and cause feedback.

Setting the external device

1.Make preparations of the external device for outputting the digital signal.

2.Locate the beginning of the pilot signal for the song data.

*See the operation manual of the external device for the detailed information.

2. Use the [JOG] dial to select "Load PGM" and press the

[ENTER/YES] key.

The display shows the screen for selecting the device

from which the data is loaded. "IDE" flashes.

3.Use the [REWIND] key to select "OPT" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display shows the screen for selecting "SPDIF" or "adat", in which "SPDIF" flashes.

Flashing

If you load data using the adat digital signal, select "adat". If you load data using the S/PDIF digital signal, select "SPDIF".
