Example of an Analog Loop Connection
When the U-8 is connected as shown in the above diagram to a device that passes the
input sound through to its output (an MD/DAT/CD-R that is recording), the U-8
and that device will form a loop that can cause oscillation, producing an
unexpectedly loud sound.
This type of connection can cause malfunction and damage to speakers and other
equipment; take care to avoid these conditions.
In addition to the above figure, take a moment now to check your connections for the
following conditions.
•Could there be a looped connection between the analog and digital realms?
•Has any looped connection resulted from insertion of a mixer or other piece of
equipment between the devices?

Example of a Digital Loop Connection
When making a digital
connection between the U-8
and the CD player, MD
player, DAT player, or the
like, connect the digital
output from the CD, MD,
or DAT player to the
Digital Input connector on
the U-8. For more
