Example at operating it as the S/P DIF-ANALOG converter
The following is a connecting example of using the VC-8 as a S/P DIF-ANALOG converter which
makes it possible to extract sound from CD and DVD with the sound card contained in the computer
with S/P DIF digital output. By separating the analog circuit from the computer, this system can
playback (or record) a clear sound free of noise created in the computer.
Note: Be sure to switch off power to the VC-8 at setup of the various selector switches. Should the switches be
manipulated with power switched on, noise could be created and the VC-8 may not function correctly.
Setup of the VC-8
Note: The ANALOG INPUT MODE switch
will not function when the DIGITAL MODE
switch is used for [S/P DIF].
1 .Set the DIGITAL MODE switch to [S/P DIF].
2 .Set the CLOCK switch to [OPTICAL].
3 .Switch on power to the VC-8.
When using the Fostex Mode D-160 16 track digital recorder, it can simultaneously record 16 tracks of
analog signals by connecting the VC-8 as shown below.
