Loading the data using DIGITAL/DATA IN
Load the data by S/P DIF digital signals (or adat digital signals) from the DIGITAL/DATA IN jack of
the recorder.
* Restore the initial settings on the recorder.
* Set the same sampling rate on the external digital device and the recorder.
Connecting the external device
Connect DIGITAL/DATA IN connectors of the recorder to the digital output connectors on the external
digital device.
* The recorder has DIGITAL/DATA IN connectors for an S/P DIF digital signal (OPTICAL) and for an adat digital
signal. These connectors have the same shape but carry different information.
When using the D1624, use the DIGITAL/DATA IN 1-8 connector. Do not use the DIGITAL/DATA IN conector.
* Do not remove the optical cable or perform any other operation that would disconnect the S/P DIF signal until
the session is complete. Otherwise, the recorder will generate noise, and affect the connected device.
* If the external device has only COAXIAL type (RCA) digital I/O connectors, connect an optional COP-1/96k
(optical/coaxial converter) to use an S/P DIF digital signal.
* Connecting both output and input connectors on the recorder to the input and output connectors on the
external digital device respectively may generate a digital loop. Refer to “Connecting a digital mixer” on page
“
50 ” for more information.

2.Locate the beginning of the pilot signal recorded in the saved data.
