Using S/P DIF IN

VM200 User’s Guide

Using S/P DIF IN

You can connect the S/P DIF output from a CD player, DAT, or Mini-

Disc player to the S/P DIF IN optical connector on the rear panel of

the VM200.

You can also connect the S/P DIF output from

a second

VM200 to the

S/P DIF IN optical connector in a cascade configuration. See “Cascad-

ing the VM200” on page 171 for more information.

In this connection example, a DAT machine is connected to the S/P

DIF OUT connector on the rear panel of the VM200 to enable mixing

from a digital source.

The DAT machine serves as word clock master, and the VM200 is

word clock slave. You need to set the Master Word Clock setting to

“S/P DIF44” or “S/P DIF48” depending on the sample frequency of the

source. For more information on the master word clock setup, refer to

“Setting the Master Word Clock” on page 162.

Assigning S/P DIF Signals to Channels

Follow these steps to assign a two-channel digital stereo signal (input

via S/P DIF IN) to specific channels:

1.

Press the

[ROUTING/PHASE]

key twice.

The

[ROUTING/PHASE]

key and selectable

[EQ EDIT]

keys flash, and

the VM200 displays the

2:S/P DIF IN

function page.

Note:

Make sure that signals are routed to ST Buss so that they are

also output to the S/P DIF OUT. (See “Routing Input Channels” on

page 66 for more information.)

Note:

If the connected digital device has only the COAXIAL (RCA pin)

jack as a digital output, use a Fostex COP-1 optical-to-coaxial converter.
