Fostex VF-160 - Digital Recording; Digital Recording from an External Digital Device

88
This section will describe digital recording from external digital devices using the [DATA IN] connector of the VF160.
Digital signals recorded are either S/P DIF or adat digital signals.
<Çaution (IMPORTANT)>
To digitally record to the VF160, only input digital signals
(S/P DIF or adat) with the same sampling rate (44.1kHz/
16bit) as the VF160.
Selecting the program to record
If several programs are set, use the program selection
function to pre-start the program to record.
Setting the digital input
1. Set the VF160 digital input as shown below, from the "Digital
In" menu in the SETUP mode.
For more details on setup procedures refer to the "SETUP
Mode" on page 134.
<When recording S/P DIF digital signals>
Set the "Digital In" (SPDIF) of the SETUP mode, as shown as
an example below. With this setting the LEFT channel of
the S/P DIF digital signal is recorded on track 1 and the
RIGHT channel is recorded on track 2.
As shown in this case, when selecting a S/P DIF digital sig-
nal it is possible to set odd and even tracks next to each
other.
<When recording adat digital signals>
Set the "Digital In" of the SETUP mode to "adat".
This setting records the adat digital signals on ch1-ch8 on
tracks 1-8. In other words, the ch1 signals are recorded on
track 1, ch2 signals on track 2, and so on. Simply put, the
digital signal is recorded on tracks corresponding to the
adat digital signal channel.
2. When the "Digital In" settings are completed, press the [EXIT/
NO] key to escape from the SETUP mode.
The LCD shows the Normal Display.
Either “ ” or “ ” lights up on the display, when
proper digital signals (S/P DIF or adat) from an external
digital device is input in DATA IN.
If either “ ” or “ ” flashes on the display it means
that the digital signal input is incorrect. In such case check
the connection cable and digital output setting of the ex-
ternal device.
<Caution (IMPORTANT)>
Do not make connections such as for input of S/P DIF digi-
tal signals into the VF160 DATA IN connector when “Digi-
tal In” is set to “ adat” . It could result in abnormal symp-
toms such as reduction in operating speed of VF160 and
also create noise.
Digital recording from an external digital device
This section describes digitally record from an external S/P DIF digital device (CD, MD, DAT, etc.) or adat digital
device (Fostex D-1624, D-824, VC-8, VM88, etc.) to the VF160.
