1. Saving the data using DATA OUT
* Restore the initial settings on the D-160.
* Set the same sampling rate on the external digital device and the D-160.
Connecting an external device
Connect DATA OUTPUT 1-8 connector of the D-160 to the digital input connector on the
external digital device.
* The D-160 has DATA OUT 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.
* Use the DATA OUTPUT 1-8 connector to save data. Do not use the DATA OUTPUT 9-16
connector.
* At save/load using DAT and adat, independent save/load in 8 track units is possible.
In this case, the data in 8 track units are not distinguished as track 1~8 or 9~16 but simply
handled as eight track data. Therefore, because this 8 track data is compatible with D-90 if it
is in 8 track units (any one combination of 1~8, 9~16 or 17~24), data saved from D-160 can
be loaded in tracks 1~8 of the D-90. In this case, data in the tracks which were not loaded will
remain intact.

External Digital Equipment (DAT or RD-8 or Adat)
• If the external device has only COAXIAL type (RCA) digital I/O connectors, connect an
optional COP-1 (optical/coaxial converter) to use an S/P DIF digital signal.
• Connecting both output and input connectors on the D-160 to the input and output
connectors on the external digital device respectively may generate a digital loop.
Refer to “4-3. Connecting a digital mixer” on page "65" for more information.
Setting up an external device
1. Set the same sampling rate to that of the D-160.
2. Select digital input on the external device so that the external device will accept a digital signal.
On some external devices, you may have to set up so that the external device will synchronize
with the incoming digital signal. For example, if you are using a Fostex RD-8, select “DIGITAL IN”
and set “Clock Source (external sync signal)” to “Word Optical (adat).”
If the external device does not accept the digital signal or if you notice digital noise, check
the connection, cabling, and the settings of the D-160 and the external device.
* Refer to the instruction manuals that came with any external digital device for details.
Executing the save operation
Use the “Save PGM?” menu in Setup mode.
* Output format available: adat, DAT, SCSI
* Programs available: P1 - P99
* You can save one Program at a time.
