Designating The Master Clock For Digital Audio Input - Roland VS-2000 Owner's Manual

9—Working with Input Signals
When the VS-2000's hard disk recorder isn't being synchronized to an external device,
and is receiving digital audio from a single external device, use the external device as
the source of the master clock. Set MASTER CLOCK to DIGITAL IN (see below).
When the VS-2000's transport is being synchronized to an external device, and is
receiving digital audio from the same device to which the VS-2000 is being
synchronized, use the device to which the VS-2000 is being synchronized and from
which the digital audio is coming as the master clock source. Set the VS-2000's
MASTER CLOCK parameter to EXT TIME CODE (see below).

Designating the Master Clock for Digital Audio Input

When you're receiving digital input signals from a connected digital, either device can
serve as the master—be sure to set up the other as a slave.
However, in order for the VS-2000 to successfully receive digital audio from other
external digital audio devices, the VS-2000 should usually be slaved to an external
master clock. Here's how to set up a successful master/slave digital audio relationship:
1. Hold down SHIFT and press F4.
2. Press PAGE until "DIGITL" appears above F2.
3. Press F2 (DIGITL) to view the DIGITAL I/O parameters.
4. Press
5. Turn the Time/Value dial to select the desired master word clock source.
If "MASTER CLOCK" is set to "DIGITAL IN," noise may be heard from the VS-2000's
audio output when you unplug the coaxial cable or power off your digital audio device.
Please turn down the VS-2000's volume before doing things such as unplugging the
coaxial cable.
Completing the Master/Slave Setup
Make sure that the device designated as the master clock source uses its internal clock
as its timing reference. If the VS-2000 is the master, set its MASTER CLOCK to INT.
To learn how to configure each external digital device, consult its documentation.

INT the VS-2000.
DIGITAL IN the device connected to the COAXIAL IN jack (Page 48).
EXT TIME CODE the device connected to the MIDI IN jack.
