Pressing DIGI will show this screen:
Here, you can set parameters that relate to the PORTADRIVE's digital outputs. The parameters are:
ST. & AES 78 SOURCE
Note - The signal on the AES outputs 7&8 on the DB25 connector is the same signal as routed to the
stereo SPDIF/AES outputs. If you want to output all eight-disk tracks 1-8 via the DB25 connector, then
the ST&AES78 DIGOUT SOURCE must be set to TRACKS L&R.
AES 1-6 SOURCE
FORMAT
Note - This option can also be used with consumer devices but you should check that device's
documentation for compatibility details.
66
This allows you to select the input source for the digital outputs (in
other words, allows you to select what will be output through this
connector). The options are:
OFF No output
MAIN OUT The audio source selected for the MAIN outputs will
be output through the digital output.
AUX OUT The audio source selected for the AUX outputs will be
output through the digital output.
TRACK L&R The L&R tracks (tracks 7+ 8) will be sent to the digital
output.
The multi-pin DB25 AES connector can take as its output source disk
tracks 1-6. During playback, you will hear the output of the track;
during record (or when the unit is stopped), you will hear the disk
tracks inputs. You can also switch this option to OFF - this actually
turns the AES circuitry off and so can help to conserve power if the
multi-channel DB25 connector is not being used.
Allows you to set the format of the digital audio appearing at the
digital outputs. The options are:
PRO
CONSUMER
Professional AES/EBU.
SPDIF (60958). This is best suited for use
with consumer digital audio devices equipped
with phono digital I/Os. When this option is
selected a further option becomes available:
CATEGORY CODE. This can be set to
GENERAL, DAT or CD.
