Thank you for purchasing the Fostex D2424LVmkII.
The D2424LVmkII is a digital recorder using a 3.5 inch E-IDE hard disk recording media for record-
ing/playback/editing in 24 real tracks plus 32 additional tracks.
In addition to non-compression recording at quantization 16 bit/44.1kHz or 48kHz, 24 bit/44.1kHz
or 48kHz, 24 bit/88.2kHz or 96kHz, the D2424LVmkII is also equipped with adat input/output (by
switching from S/P DIF).
Besides analog simultaneous record/playback, because it also complies with digital recording (S/P
DIF or adat) using DATA input/output and simultaneous recording of analog input plus digital input
(S/P DIF or adat), a full digital recording system can be built by combining the D2424LVmkII with
various digital mixers.
Song data of the D2424LVmkII can be saved as an adat or S/P DIF digital signal, as well as can be
backed up to the pre-installed CF drive as an FDMS-3 Ver. 3.0 or WAV file at high speed.
You can also use the optional E-IDE hard disk drive instead of the pre-installed CF drive for high
speed backup of an FDMS-3 Ver. 3.0 or WAV file.
For optional units, Model 8346 TC/SYNC card is available and these will also comply to phasing of
the standard feature WORD clock and also phasing against slave control by external LTC and VIDEO
reference signals.
Please carefully read through this manual together with the separate "Quick Operation Guide" for long
and satisfying operation of this equipment.
