4. Digital Recording
4-1. Digital recording from an external digital device
This section explains how to record a digital signal from the digital output of an
external digital device (CD, MD, DAT, Fostex RD-8, CX-8, etc.) to the D-160.
* Restore the default settings on the D-160.
Connecting an external digital device
Connect the DATA INPUT connector of the D-160 with the digital output of an
external digital device (CD, MD, DAT, Fostex RD-8, CX-8, etc.).
The D-160 switches the DATA INPUT connector between an S/P DIF digital signal
(OPTICAL) and an adat digital signal during setting of the digital input track in Setup
mode. Both signals use the same connector configuration, but carry different data.
When S/P DIF digital signals are to be input, DATA INPUT 1-8 only should be used, and
when "adat" digital signals are to be input, either DATA INPUT 1-8 or 9-16 must be
used.

As shown in schematic below, if "adat" digital signals are simultaneously input from
two individual "adat" equipment, it will be the cause of noise.
Therefore, at input of "adat" digital signals, be sure that the 16 channel output from
the same equipment or the two "adat" outputs from perfectly word locked two separate
equipment, are input. If both "adat" (DATA INPUT 1-8 or 9-16) are connected, phase
will be synchronized at each press of the STOP button to compensate for phase drift.
Also, during this period, DATA INPUT 9-16 will be muted for about 0.5 seconds.
