Panel software and under Master Clock, selecting "Internal Xtal."
Also, under the Codec Sample Rate section you may uncheck "Rate
Locked" if it is previously checked. This allows for more flexible
sample rate playback.

4. In order to verify proper S/PDIF Output routing, open the

Patchbay/Router page of the control panel software. In the "H/W
Out SP/ANA" column, select the radio button named "WavOut
SP/ANA." Now everything that is sent by your software to the
"WavOut SP/ANA" device will be routed to the hardware S/PDIF
output, and consequently to the DAT.

5. Next let’s make sure the S/PDIF output format is correct. Open the

S/PDIF page of the control panel software. Under Digital Output
Format, choose "Consumer." Uncheck "Advanced" if it is checked
previously. Now click on the "Restore Defaults" button to set the
default S/PDIF outgoing status bits. This will disable copy protection
and also set the emphasis to "none," allowing the DAT to accept and
record the audio properly.

6. Within your recording software, select "WavOut SP/ANA Delta-

R-BUS" as the audio output device.

7. Start your DAT recording and then start your software playing. You

should be able to hear the DAT material through your sound system.
This verifies that the digital audio is making it into the DAT correctly.

Typical Setup #3

Let’s assume for this setup that we’re recording a guitar and vocal, then
overdubbing another guitar and vocal track while listening to the first
tracks. The following diagram shows a microphone pre-amp/direct box
being used (in this case, the DMP2™ by M Audio), and a stereo sound
system. The pre-amp and direct box are required for the mic and guitar.
Many instruments, such as MIDI modules or keyboards, may be
connected directly to the Delta R-BUS’s analog inputs.

NOTE: Because improper connections may potentially make
very loud noises, it’s a good idea to have all monitor levels
set low or muted while hooking up audio equipment -- you
may even choose to turn your computer off before making
the connections.
