Digital Recording
Digital recording from an external digital device
This section explains how to record digital data from a device equipped with S/P DIF digital in/out (CD, MD, DAT,
etc.) or a device equipped with adat digital in/out.
To record S/P DIF digital signal or adat digital signal, use the “Setting input tracks” menu in SETUP mode to
assign the input track. You can record digital data to the current program. The digital input track setting is
applied to all programs.
Note: To avoid digital looping, remove the optical cable connected to the DATA OUT connector on the VR800.
If the digital device has only the COAXIAL (RCA pin) jack as a digital output, use a Fostex COP-1 (an optional optical/coaxial
converter).
Connecting an external digital device
* Connect the DATA IN jack of the VR800 with the OPTICAL OUT jack of an external digital device using an optical
cable.
Selecting a Program to record
* If multiple Programs exist, first select the desired Program using the Program Change function.
• See page 33 for more information on Program Change.
< Note >
Input a digital source with a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz to the VR800.

Assigning tracks and setting the digital-in clock
* Use the “Setting a digital input track” menu to assign tracks and set the digital-in clock.
To record adat signals, set the digital input track to [AdAt] and set the digital-in clock to [SYnC] (synchronous mode). To
record S/P DIF signals, set the digital input track to any two tracks other than [AdAt], and set the digital-in clock to [SYnC]
(synchronous mode).
• See page 101 for more information on Digital input track setting.
When you finish setting the parameters in SETUP mode, be sure to press the EXIT/NO key or the STOP key to exit SETUP
mode.
