Designating The Master Clock For Digital Audio Input - Roland VS-2400CD Owner's Manual

Designating the Master Clock for Digital Audio Input

When you're receiving digital input signals from a connected R-BUS device, either
device can serve as the master—be sure to set up the other as a slave.
However, in order for the VS-2400CD to successfully receive digital audio from other
external digital audio devices, the VS-2400CD 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•UTILITY.
2. Press PAGE until "Proj" appears above F3.
3. Press F3 (Proj) to view the DIGITAL I/O parameters.
4. Press
5. Turn the Time/Value dial to select the desired master word clock source.
Completing the Master/Slave Setup
Make sure that the device designated as the master clock source uses its internal clock
as its timing reference. On the VS-2400CD, set MASTER CLOCK to INT in Step 5 on
Page 129.
To learn how to configure each external digital device, consult its documentation.
