Digital Input Signals
Digital Connections
The VS-2400CD can accept digital audio from an external digital device through the
VS-2400CD’s coaxial or optical digital inputs and via its R-BUS connector. To learn
about connecting devices to these jacks, see Page 50.
Turning On the Coaxial or Optical Digital Inputs
The VS-2400CD can receive digital audio signals either through its coaxial or optical
digital connectors, though not both at the same time. (The eight digital audio inputs
provided by the R-BUS jack are always available.).
Selecting the Coaxial or Optical Digital Inputs
1. Hold down SHIFT and press EZ•ROUTING—the PATCH BAY screen appears.
2. Press
until DIGITAL IN SELECT is highlighted, as shown here.
3. Turn the Time/Value dial to check:
•
COAXIAL
—to turn on the stereo coaxial digital input.
•
OPTICAL
—to turn on the stereo optical digital input.
4. Route the selected active inputs to the desired input channels as described on
Page 130.
Digital Considerations
This section discusses a couple of issues you should consider to help ensure that your
digital audio is successfully captured by the VS-2400CD.
Sample Rates
The VS-2400CD operates at the sampling rate of the currently loaded project. As a
result, it will successfully receive only external digital audio that uses that sample rate.
If you’re creating a new project, set it to the sample rate of the external digital audio
you want to bring in. Be aware, however, that the project will always remain at that
sample rate—you can’t change it once the project’s been created.
The Digital IN connectors of VS-2400CD are compatible with 2ch PCM audio only. In
case VS-2400CD receives audio signal in other formats (DTS, Dolby Surround etc.), it
outputs such signal as noise.
The DIGITAL IN SELECT parameter can also be found on the UTILITY menu’s
PROJECT PARAMETER screen.

PATCH BAY screen as it appears
after a new project is created and
