Setting digital input (“D. in ?” menu)

In the “Setting a digital input” menu, the signal to be input to the DATA INPUT connector of the recorder can
be set for either digital signals (adat digital signal or S/P DIF digital signal) or analog signals, and also setup of
the digital in clock (synchronous or asynchronous).
By using this function, signals from external digital equipment (CD, MD, DAT, adat digital mixer) can be
digitally recorded.
When selecting the clock, there are the Async and Sync modes; either should be selected depending on the
application.  If it is set to “Async mode,” the later explained [Clock Sel?] (Setting the operating clock) should
be setup in accordance to the application.

• Initial setting:

[Analog]

• Assignable digital signal/setting digital in-clock: [adat: Async] (adat digital signal/Asynchronous mode)

[adat: Sync] (adat digital signal/Synchronous mode)
[SPDIF: Async] (S/P DIF digital signal/Asynchronous mode)
[SPDIF: Sync] (S/P DIF digital signal/Synchronous mode)
[Analog] (not assigned digital signal)

* This setting is shared by all Programs in the same disk.
* The settings cannot be saved and loaded as part of the song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the recorder.

<Function of the DATA INPUT connectors>

<Setup for analog signals>

If the digital input is set up for Analog (Initial setting), digital signals cannot be input at DATA INPUT 1-8, 9-16
and 17-24 of the D2424.

<Setup for S/P DIF digital signals>

If the digital input is set up for S/P DIF (Async or Sync), only DATA INPUT 1-8 can be used.
S/P DIF digital signals input to DATA INPUT 1-8 will be assigned and recorded in tracks 1 and 2 of D2424.

<Setup for adat digital signals>

If the digital input is set up for adat (Async or Sync), all DATA INPUT connectors can be used.
Adat digital signals input to DATA INPUT 1-8 will be assigned and recorded in tracks 1-8; the signals to INPUT
9-16 in tracks 9-16; and the signals to INPUT 17-24 in tracks 17-24.
