Transferring digital audio via R-BUS

If the MV-8000 is connected to another device that has an R-BUS connector, you can
use two channels of digital audio input and eight channels of digital audio output.

Caution when connecting an R-BUS device

• You may connect only another R-BUS device to the R-BUS connector. Even if the
connector has the same shape, you must never attempt to connect a SCSI, RS-232C,
or parallel interface. Doing so will cause malfunctions.
• Use an R-BUS cable (RBC-1 or RBC-3: each sold separately) to make connections to
an R-BUS connector.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the R-BUS cable, you must turn off the power of
the MV-8000 and the other R-BUS device. If you make connections while the power
is on, the system may fail to operate correctly, and malfunctions may also occur.
• R-BUS is the same specification as “RMDB2” and “RMDB II.” It can be used
without any problems with devices marked “RMDB2” or “RMDB II.”
• R-BUS is not compatible with “RMDB”.
• The RBC-5 (5 meter R-BUS cable: no longer available) cannot be used with the
MV-8000. Please use the RBC-1 (1 meter R-BUS cable) or RBC-3 (3 meter R-BUS
cable).

Inputting digital audio into R-BUS

1.
Connect the MV-8000 with your digital audio device as described in Quick
Start “Preparing your equipment and making connections” (p. 4).
2.
Press .
The
SYSTEM MENU screen
(p. 319) will appear.
3.
With the cursor located in the upper row of
icons, press (Global). Alternatively, select
the GLOBAL icon and press .
The
GLOBAL screen
(p. 320) will appear.
4.
Set the Input Select parameter to “R-BUS.”
Audio can now be input via R-BUS channels 1 and 2. When you switch the setting, the
illustration of the input connectors shown in the GLOBAL screen will also change.
You cannot use R-BUS
channels 3~8 to input audio
into the MV-8000.
Since the MV8-OP1 contains a
sampling rate converter, there
is no restriction on the
sampling rates that can be
input. All signals will be
converted to 44.1 kHz.
