Digital input
The D1600 can record a digital audio signal that is input
via the S/P DIF jack.
The S/P DIF input has a built-in sampling rate converter.
Sources with sampling rates of 48 kHz or 32 kHz
can be connected directly, and will automatically be
converted to 44.1 kHz.
Here we will explain how the audio from a DAT connected
to the [S/P DIF IN] jack can be input to mixer
channels 1 and 2.
1 Connect the digital output device.
Lower the [MASTER] fader of the D1600, and use
an optical digital cable to connect the digital output
of your DAT to the [S/P DIF IN] jack.
2 Enable the digital input.
• Access the [INPUT] “Ch1–8” tab page.
• When you press the “DigiIn” button, a message
of “Obey Copyright Rules” will appear.
Carefully read the owner’s manual section “COPYRIGHT
WARNING” (p.1). If you accept the
terms, press the “Yes” button for the “AreYou-Sure?”
prompt. Digital input will be enabled.
3 Specify the input channels.
Select the “Ch1” icon, and rotate the [VALUE] dial
to select “S/PDIF L.” In the same way, select “S/
PDIF R” for “Ch2.”
The input from the [S/P DIF IN] jack has now been
assigned to channels 1 and 2.
4 Assign the input sound to mixer channels 1 and 2.
Play back the DAT, and press the [TRACK STATUS]
keys of tracks 1 and 2 to set them to INPUT
(LED lit orange).
5 Check the recording mode and input level, and
audition the sound.
