The XT20 records digital audio in a similar manner as a DAT recorder or digital
sampler. You may select between two sample rates when using the XT20's
internal clock: 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz. Set the sample rate to match the rest of
the recording system (digital mixers, DAT recorders, CD players) you are
digitally connected to.
The currently selected sample rate is indicated by the CLOCK group of icons in
the display. When the INT and 44.1K icons are lit, the XT20 is set to an
internal 44.1 kHz clock. When the INT and 48K icons are lit, the internal 48
kHz clock setting is in use. The default setting is internal 48 kHz (INT 48K).
Changing the clock from 48kHz to 44.1 kHz, or vice-versa, will change the
reference point upon which the Pitch controls are based. This will also cause
the TIME counter to change; the Locate Points (see page 67) will be referenced to
different time positions (when viewed), although they still correspond to the
same physical tape positions as before.
To select the sample rate:
Each time the [CLOCK SELECT] button is pressed, the right side of the
display will cycle through the following settings: INT 48K, INT 44.1K, D I G
48K, and DIG 44.1K.
For more info on DIG and EXT clock settings, see chapter 5. It is recommended
that you select the sample rate you want to use before you format a tape. During

The [STOP] button performs three functions.
• Stop the transport. Push [STOP] to stop any function involving
tape motion. A lit [STOP] LED indicates that the tape is not moving
and is threaded. A flashing [STOP] LED indicates that the tape is not
moving and is unthreaded.
• Thread/Unthread the tape. While the [STOP] LED is lit,
press [STOP] to unthread the tape ([STOP] LED flashes). While the
[STOP] LED is flashing, press [STOP] to thread the tape ([STOP]
LED is lit). Entering play or record more will also thread the tape, if it
was previously unthreaded.
• Punch out. When recording, pressing [STOP] will exit record
mode and stop the transport.
