1. Set the [CONTROL] switch to "LOCAL".
2. Set the [AUDIO FILE] switch to "BWF" or "SDII" appropriately.
When starting recording, an audio file with the selected file format is automatically created.
3. Set the [INPUT] switch to "DIGITAL".
"DIGITAL" is shown on the display. It lights steadily or flashes depending on whether the appropriate
digital signal is fed or not.
4. Set the [TR MODE] switch to "STEREO".
5. Select the digital input tracks using the "D. IN Tr?" menu in the Setup mode, if necessary.
The "D. IN Tr?" menu is initially set to "Auto", in which the track numbers correspond to the input
numbers. See "Chapter 11: Setup mode" for details about the "D. IN Tr?" menu.
6. Set the [SAMPLING FREQ] switch to the desired Fs/Bit position.
7. Set the [CLOCK] switch to "DIGITAL".
"DIGITAL" and "-EXT-" light up in the "CLOCK" section on the display, showing that the system clock is
derived from the digital input signal.
If you wish to make the unit slaved to a video or word clock, select the [CLOCK] switch to "VIDEO" or
"WORD" appropriately.
8. Press the [AUDIO RDY - NEW FILE] key to select the NEW FILE mode (the NEW FILE indicator is lit).
If you wish to record timecode simultaneously, press the [TC RDY] key to turn on the indicator.
See "Chapter 5: Timecode recording" for details about timecode recording.
9. Connect a pair of headphones to the [PHONES] jack, and set the monitor track select switch to "TR1
+ TR2" position.
10. Press the [INPUT MON] key to turn on the indicator.
You do not need to adjust the input level for digital recording.
You can check digital input levels from the level meters by activating the input monitor mode.
