Recording / Playback
This section explains how to record and playback data on the D-160.
1. Basic connections
The D-160 is a 16-track recorder, equipped with analog INPUTs 1-8 and OUTPUTs
1-16. Refer to the following diagram to connect the D-160 to an external mixing
console or multitrack recording.
The optimum mixing console for the D-160 would be equipped with 16 TAPE IN
connectors and 8 BUSS OUT connectors (or GROUP OUT connectors), although you
can also use a mixer with 16 TAPE IN connectors and 4 BUSS OUT connectors.
Refer to the following examples depending on the type of your mixer.
<Example-1>
Connecting a mixer equipped with 16 TAPE IN, 8 BUSS OUT (or GROUP OUT):
This connection allows for 8-track simultaneous recording.
* Connect the mixer TAPE IN 1-16 with the D-160 OUTPUT 1-16.
* Connect the mixer BUSS OUT (or GROUP OUT) 1-8 with the D-160 INPUT 1-8.
