Transferring from DAT to DiO
1. Connect the DAT coaxial S/PDIF Output to the DiO coaxial S/PDIF Input using

a good quality digital cable.

2. Connect the DiO analog outputs to some type of amplified sound system. The

sound system should be equipped with speakers or headphones.

3. In order to verify proper S/PDIF Input routing, open the S/PDIF page of the

Delta Control Panel software. In the Digital Input section, select "Coax/RCA."
This will make the DiO’s coaxial S/PDIF input the currently active input.

4. Because you will be recording from an S/PDIF input, you will need to setup the

DiO board to synchronize its master clock with the S/PDIF input. To do this,
open the Hardware Settings page of the control panel software. Under Master
Clock, select "S/PDIF In."

5. Next, set the S/PDIF Sample Rate selection to match the sample rate of the DAT

digital audio. This information is necessary in order for your audio recording
software to know the expected sample rate. We use 44,100 in this example.

6. In order to monitor the digital signal coming into the DiO, open the

Patchbay/Router page of the control panel software. In the "H/W Out 1/2" col-
umn, select the radio button named "S/PDIF In." This will copy all S/PDIF input
audio over to the analog outputs.
