Setting the FD-8 (Slave)
# Refer to the FD-8 User’s Guide for the procedure and additional information.
1.Use the same frame rate as the D-108 for the “MTC frame rate setting” in the Setup mode.
2.Use the D-108’s offset time for the “MTC offset time setting” in the Setup mode.
There is no “MTC offset mode setting” on the D-80, D-80 Ver. 2, DMT-8 Ver. 2, and DMT-8 VL. When you use the D-108’s
setting, the MTC offset mode will automatically become “ABS.”
3.Set the “MIDI device ID setting” in Setup mode to “01” on the FD-8.
4.Set the Slave mode to “On” for the “Slave mode setting” in the Setup mode.
You can set the Slave mode on the D-80, D-80 Ver. 2, DMT-8 Ver. 2, and DMT-8 VL, but you cannot select a sync signal (SLAVE
TYPE). If you use the D-108’s setting, “SP DIF” will be automatically selected.
5.Press the DISP SEL key while holding down the EXECUTE/YES key to select MTC as the Time Base indication.
<Note>
After this setting, check the following items on the FD-8.

* “DIGITAL” lights on the display: The FD-8 is syncing to the external digital signal.
<Note>
Do not connect or remove the optical cable the DATA IN connector while Slave mode is on. This can generate noise, affecting the connected
qexternal devices.
