Connections, STEP1 Power-on, Demo
Here’s how to connect the D8 to your audio system, and listen to the demo songs.
1.Connections to your audio system etc.
The following diagram shows a basic example of a D8 recording system. Modify the connections shown below as needed for your particular setup, and connect your equipment to the D8.
Be sure to turn off the power before making con- nections. Failure to do so can damage your speaker system or cause malfunctions.
1Connect the included AC/AC power supply to the power supply connector of the D8. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet.
2Connect your audio equipment.
Use an RCA phono cable to connect the OUTPUT L/R jacks to your amplification system.
3If you wish to use headphones for monitoring, con- nect the phone plug of your headphones to the PHONES jack. The volume can be adjusted by the [PHONES] knob located at the left.
4For analog recording, connect the phone plug of your guitar or mic cable to the INPUT 1 jack. (Refer to p.11) If you will be doing analog recording in stereo, connect the cables from the output of your
stereo device to the INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 jacks.
5For digital recording, use an optical cable to con- nect the DIGITAL OUT of your instrument, CD, MD or DAT player to the DIGITAL IN connector. (Refer to p.12)
6For mixdown to a digital recording device (DAT, MD etc.), use an optical cable to connect the DIGI- TAL IN of your recording device to the DIGITAL OUT of the D8. (Refer to p.30)
7If you wish to use an external effect via AUX IN/ OUT, connect the input of the effect to the AUX OUT jack, and the outputs of the effect to the AUX IN jacks. (Refer to p.23)
8If you wish to use a foot switch to perform auto punch in/out, to start/stop playback, or to record tap tempo, connect a pedal switch PS1 <sold sepa- rately> to the FOOT SW jack. (Refer to p.47)
9If you wish to synchronize a MIDI sequencer etc. to the D8, use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT of the D8 to the MIDI IN of your sequencer. If you will be using MMC, connect the MIDI OUT of your MIDI sequencer. to the MIDI IN jack of the D8. (Refer to p.38)
2. Power on/off
When the power is turned on, never move the device or allow it to be jarred. Also, never turn off the power while the HDD access indicator is blink- ing (immediately after the power is turned on, dur- ing recording or playback, or during track/song editing). This can damage part or all of the data on
Powered monitors etc. |
