C
Fs (Sampling frequency)
This displays the sampling frequency of the signal
that is currently selected as the clock source.
• Immediately after the clock source is selected, the
AW2816 will display "LOCK" for a time, indicating
that it is attempting to synchronize to that clock
source.
• If "UNLOCK" is displayed, it was for some reason
impossible to synchronize to the currently selected
clock source. Make sure that the clock source selec-
tion is appropriate, and the external device has not
malfunctioned.
• When you make the AW2816 synchronize to an
external clock source, you must make sure that the
sampling frequency of the song matches the value
displayed in the Fs field. If these values are different,
the pitch may change when the clock source is
changed back to "INT" (internal clock).
D
VARI (Vari-pitch)
When "INT" (internal clock) is selected as the
clock source, you can use the following two but-
tons to specify whether the sampling frequency
will be variable.
• FIX button
When this button is on, the sampling frequency of
the AW2816 will be fixed at the value displayed at
the right of the button. Normally you will select
this setting.
• VARI (vari-pitch) button
When this button is on, you can use the knob
located at right to make fine adjustments to the
sampling frequency over a range of –5.97%–
+6.00%. This is used mainly to make fine adjust-
ments to the playback pitch or the length of the
song.
E
STEREO BUS CASCADE
This specifies whether the external device con-
nected to the DIGITAL STEREO IN connector will
be cascade-connected to the stereo bus of the
AW2816.
Select "D.ST" as the clock source, move the cursor
to the button labeled "DISABLE," and press the
[ENTER] key. The button will change to "ENABLE."
In this state, the signal that is input from the DIGI-
TAL STEREO IN connector will be sent directly to
the stereo bus of the AW2816. At this time you can
use the ATT. knob to adjust the level (attenuation)
of the input signal.
If you attempt to enable cascade connection when a
clock other than "D.ST IN" is selected as the clock
source, a message of "CANNOT ASSIGN DIGITAL ST-
IN" will appear, and it will not be possible to set the
button to "ENABLE."
