must have a Clock I/O card installed.
To make the D8B the clock master,
connect its Word Clock Out to the
HDR24/96 Word Clock In. To make
the HDR24/96 the master, connect its
Word Clock Out to the D8B Word
Clock In.

set the Sample Clock to Internal; if it
is a clock slave, set the Sample Clock

2.  Set the Sample Rate to 44.1kHz or
48kHz according to your preference.
