1-2. Digital input

The D1200 lets you input and record a digital signal using the S/P DIF input.

The S/P DIF input contains a sampling rate converter. If the connected input source has a sampling rate of 48 kHz or 32 kHz, it will automatically be converted to 44.1 kHz.

•The note name that is closest to the input pitch will be displayed.

•If the pitch is correct, “” will appear at the 0 posi- tion in the center of the meter, and the “” (flat) and ““ (sharp) symbols will both light.

If the pitch is flat, only “” will light. If the pitch is sharp, only ““ will light.

The amount of pitch deviation is displayed in units of cents. (100 cents = semitone; 1200 cents = 1 octave)

This page cannot be selected during recording or play- back. Nor can you perform recording here.

In order to detect the pitch accurately, the effects will automatically be turned off while this page is displayed.

Carefully read the owner’s manual section “COPY- RIGHT WARNING” (→ p.1), and if you accept the con- ditions, press the [YES/OK] key in response to “AreYouSure?” The digital input is now enabled.
