Model D2424LV Reference Manual (Recording Digital Data)
• Selecting a recording Program
1. If you already have multiple Programs, select the
desired Program using the Program Select
function.
* See page " 37 " for more information on the Program
Select function.
• Setting the digital input
Set up the digital signal to be input and the digital in
clock at the setup mode "Setup of digital inputs"
menu.
The setting of digital input is initially set to "Analog"
and digital signals cannot be input.
In order to record external digital signals, "SP DIF:
Async," "SP DIF: Sync," "adat: Async" or "adat: Sync"
should be setup in accordance to the purpose.
"SPDIF:Async":
S/P DIF digital signals from [DATA INPUT] 1-8 will be
assigned to tracks 1 and 2, and the digital equip-
ment is synchronized with the internal clock of the
D2424LV.
"SPDIF:Sync":
S/P DIF digital signals from [DATA INPUT] 1-8 will be
assigned to tracks 1 and 2, and will be synchronized
with the S/P DIF digital signals from the external
digital equipment.
"adat:Async"
adat digital signals from [DATA INPUT] 1-8, 9-16 and
17-24 will be assigned to tracks 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24
respectively, and the digital equipment synchronized
with the internal clock of D2424LV.
"adat:Sync"
adat digital signals from [DATA INPUT] 1-8, 9-16 and
17-24 will be assigned to tracks 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24
respectively, and synchronized with the adat digital
signals from the external digital equipment.
* Refer to page " 118 " for setup of "D.in?" menu.
If digital input is set to "Analog," "SPDIF: Async" or
"adat: Async," the SETUP mode "Clock Sel?" (setup of
operating clock) must be set up.
<Note>
When the "Setup of digital inputs" is set to sync mode
of " SPDIF: sync" or " adat: Sync" , the SETUP mode " Clock
Sel? " setting will be ignored and the digital-in clock
will have priority. In this case, " DIGITAL" and " EXT "
will light up in the " CLOCK " section of the display.
<Notes>
• Do not connect or disconnect the optical cable to
the [DATA INPUT] connector when digital input is
assigned. Doing so could generate noise in the
D2424LV and affect the external digital equipment.
• When the digital input is set to " adat " (Async or Sync)
and locked to any one among the three [DATA IN
PUT] (1-8, 9-16, 17-24), " DIGITAL " will light in the
display, and the tracks not locked will automatically
change to analog input.
By using this function, analog/digital 24 track
simultaneous recording will be possible by applying
analog signals to tracks 1-8 and adat digital signals
to tracks 9-16 and 17-24.
• Setting recording tracks
Press the [RECORD TRACK] select keys of the tracks
selected in the digital input track menu to ready the
tracks for recording.
• Recording
1. Locate the beginning of the Program.
2. Make sure that the "DIGITAL" indicators light up
on the screen. While pressing and holding down
the [RECORD] button, press the [PLAY] button to
start recording.
3. Play the external digital device.
Make sure that the level meter segments light up and
move as the digital signal is being input.
• Completing recording
4. After you finish recording, stop the recorder and
the connected digital equipment.
<Hint!>
When a " Digital 0 (zero) " signal is input during digital
recording under the SETUP mode " Zero File? " menu,
whether or not a " 0 file " should be recorded or not can
be setup. Although the " Zero File? " menu is initially
set to " Enable ," by changing this to " Disable ," a " 0 file "
will not be registered and the digital signal to be re-
corded can be made as "one file."
For details on the " Zero File? " menu, refer to page " 131. "
