8.3. MENU 03: ALTERNATE REFERENCE A
The alternate reference is used as a backup or fallback reference in case the main
reference fails. If it happens, the DCD-8 smoothly switches to the alternate reference.
For more on Alternate Reference, see chapter 13.
Similar to menu 02, when selecting any of the external sources, a RATE menu
appears on the bottom line. The RATE can be on LEARN or SET.
8.4. MENU 04: WORD CLOCK OUT
Word Clock outputs are selected in pairs. For each pair, the choice is A or B, referring
to the rates set in menus 01 and 21 for domains A and B. Outputs 7 & 8 can also add
a multiplier to the A or B rates (see Appendix 2 on page 23). Note that only the avail-
able choices will be displayed.
8.5. MENU 05: AUDIO OUT
One of the features of the DCD-8 is to route digital audio. Menu 05 lets you assign
Audio A or Audio B to the AES and ADAT outputs.
NOTE: The AES field in menu 05 includes ALL AES and S/PDIF outputs.
When A is selected, the audio source in menu 06 (Audio A) is sent to the output. If
no source is selected in menu 06 (In = Off), silent audio at the A rate is sent to the
8.6. MENU 06: AUDIO A
Menus 06 selects the A audio input and the 1394 insert. It also indicates the audio
path for the A domain, including the output(s) as set in Menu 05.
Input choices are: In=Off, AES1, AES2, AES3, S/PDIF, Optical, AES, ADAT.
- The full AES input indicates "(8 chan)" in the lower line.
If the input selected is unavailable, an error message appears (see appendix 3) and
Since 1394 is both an input and an output, it is set as an insert. In insert mode, the select-
ed audio source is sent to the FireWire device and the FW audio is sent to the selected
output(s). Note that it is not always necessary to select an input and an output. When only
sending FW to an output, an input is not required; input could be off. And when sending
