PD-4 DIGITAL AUDIO RECORDER
Output connections
Analog output connections
The analog output connectors (47), ANALOG OUT R, and L, are balanced XLR 3-32 type. A
+4 dB output signal corresponds to -12 dB on the LCD bargraph level meters.
The tape is the source for the signal output from the ANALOG OUT connectors during PLAY
or CUE, and the input is the source during other operations.
To connect these outputs to equipment with unbalanced inputs, use only the GND and HOT
pins. Do not connected the unused COLD pin to the GND pin, as this will increase crosstalk
and noise. The output level will be 6 dB less than for balanced operation, but performance
will be the same.

Note:
To reduce batten/ drain, do not connect the unused COLD pin to ground. Leave it
unconnected.
Digital output connection
The digital output connector (48), DIGITAL OUT, is a balanced XLR 3-32 type. It is used to
output PCM audio data conforming to the lEC 958 Part 2 (S/PDIF consumer) and lEC 958
Part 3 (AES/EBU professional) data formats.
The output format is automatically selected, dependent on the SETUP mode function 105.
See page 47 for details.
Time code output connection
The time code output connector (49), TC OUT, is a balanced XLR 3-32 type. It transmits
SMPTE/EBU time code signals.
