Should Instant Replay detect a mismatch at its digital audio ports when preparing to record, the
PLAY button is disabled and an error message appears in the display. Possible mismatches can
include miswired connectors and DAT copyright protection data (“SCMS”). Correct the
mismatch as necessary.

Digital Audio Outputs

When using Instant Replay as a digital audio source, RECEIVER ECHO should be DISABLED
in the FILE TRANSFER MENU.

AES/EBU Outputs

An XLR-3 male connector provides a digital audio output in the AES/EBU format. Outputs are
always at 48k samples/second. Use only special AES cable having an impedance of 110 ohms.
Limit the cable run to 100 feet. Do not use microphone cable.

IEC 958 Type II Outputs

An RCA "phono" connector provides a digital audio output to consumer or semi-pro equipment.
Most equipment with input connectors marked "S/P DIF" can also be connected to this output.

D-NET File Transfer Ports

Instant Replay can transfer its files to other 360 Systems products and certain DAT recorders
using the D-NET file transfer network. D-NET uses AES/EBU protocols, and the digital audio
inputs and outputs described above. The choice between XLR and RCA connectors is made as a
menu selection.

D-NET data is not standard digital audio, and may not be listened to. See the section titled D-
NET File Transfers for complete information on using this network.

Printer Port

This is a standard parallel printer port on a 25 pin "D" connector. Although many printers may be
used, 360 Systems has tested the following models:
