S/P DIF digital signal (or adat digital signal) from the DATA OUT jack of the D-160 is saved. The prerequisite

is that an E-IDE hard disk is used as a current drive.

* Restore the initial settings on the D-160.

* Set the same sampling rate on the external digital device and the D-160.

Connecting an external device

Connect DATA OUTPUT 1-8 connector of the D-160 to the digital input connector on the external digital device.

<Notes>

* The D-160 has DATA OUT connectors for an S/P DIF digital signal (OPTICAL) and for an adat

digital signal. These connectors have the same shape but carry different information.

* Use the DATA OUTPUT 1-8 connector to save data. Do not use the DATA OUTPUT 9-16

connector.

* If the external device has only COAXIAL type (RCA) digital I/O connectors, connect an optional COP-1

(optical/coaxial converter) to use an S/P DIF digital signal.

* Connecting both output and input connectors on the D-160 to the input and output connectors on the

external digital device respectively may generate a digital loop.

Setting up an external device

1.Set the same sampling rate to that of the D-160.

2.Select digital input on the external device so that the external device will accept a digital signal.

On some external devices, you may have to set up so that the external device will synchronize with the incoming

digital signal.

<Note>

If the external device does not accept the digital signal or if you notice digital noise, check the connection, cabling,

and the settings of the D-160 and the external device.

* Refer to the instruction manuals that came with any external digital device for details.

Executing the save operation

Use the "Save PGM?" menu in Setup mode.

* Output format available: adat, DAT, SCSI (6)
