1INT button

When this button is on the AW2400’s internal clock is selected as the wordclock source. Use this setting when using the AW2400 on it’s own, or when using the AW2400 as the wordclock master for other devices.

HINT

•When the internal clock is selected the sampling frequency of the current song becomes the sampling frequency for the entire system.

BD.ST IN button

When this button is turned on the clock signal included in the digital audio signal received at the [DIGITAL STEREO IN] connector is used as the wordclock source.

Use this setting when you want the AW2400 to func- tion as a wordclock slave that synchronizes to the sig- nal received via the [DIGITAL STEREO IN] connector. Choose this setting when, for example, you will be cascade-connecting the digital audio from an external device to the AW2400 stereo bus, or when receiving digital audio from a DAT recorder or similar digital audio source.

C1/2–15/16 buttons

When one of these buttons is turned on the clock sig- nal included in the corresponding digital audio signal received via the rear-panel slot is used as the word- clock source (i.e. the clock signal included in one ste- reo pair: 1/2, 3/4–15/16).

Use one of these settings when using an external HDR or other digital audio source as the wordclock master to which the AW2400 will be synchronized as the wordclock slave.

The CLOCK and SYNC rows show the condition of the received wordclock signal and the synchronization status, respectively.

•CLOCK ... A “●” symbol will appear when an appro- priate wordclock signal is detected.

•SYNC ...... A “●” symbol will appear when the AW2400 is properly synchronized to the incoming wordclock signal. A “” symbol will appear when an appropriate word- clock signal is not detected.

NOTE

•Buttons that appear gray indicate that an appropriate digital signal is not available at the corresponding connector or slot, and cannot be used.

DSLOT

When an I/O card is installed in the rear-panel slot a graphic symbol that indicates the type of card will appear here. “NO CARD” will appear when no card is installed.

EIN, OUT

Indicates the number of input channels (IN) and output channels (OUT) available on an I/O card installed in the rear-panel slot.

FFs

Indicates the sampling frequency of the wordclock signal currently selected as the wordclock source.

NOTE

•When using the AW2400 as wordclock slave, check that the sampling frequency of the current song matches the sampling frequency shown in the Fs filed. For example, a song that was recorded with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz will play back with the wrong pitch and tempo if slaved to a 48 kHz word- clock signal.

•“Unlock” in the Fs field indicates that proper synchronization with the wordclock source has not been achieved. In such cases check that an appropriate wordclock signal has been selected as the source.
