1. Select “Digital In” in the menu selection display and
press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The items currently set will be shown in reversed white
and black (In the initial state, “Analog” will be reversed
in white and black).
Setting Digital Input [“Digital In”]
In the [Setting digital input] menu, whether the signal assigned to tracks 1 through 16 are digital signals (adat
digital signal/SP DIF digital signal) or analog signals, can be setup.
By using this function, it becomes possible to digitally record from external digital equipment (CD, MD, DAT,
adat, digital mixer, etc.). If “S/P DIF” is selected for input of digital, the S/P DIF signal (L, R) applied to
DIGITAL/DATA INPUT of VF-16, it will be assigned to any two tracks, and if “adat” is selected, the adat signals
will be assigned to tracks 1 through 8.
If it is set to “Analog”, analog signals input to the mixer will be assigned to tracks 1 through 16.
2. Select the desired “digital in” with the [JOG] dial.
Depending on the item selected, the following will be
shown in the LCD.
AT SELECTION OF “SPDIF”
When in the initial setup and selecting “SPDIF,”
simultaneous with indicating that L of the S/P DIF
digital signal is assigned to track 1 and that R to track
2, “-:REW F FWD:-” will also be shown.
This is indicating that any track can be selected for
assigning to L/R. If the [REWIND] key or [F FWD] key
is pressed, the blinking “L**” or “R**” will move.
If the [JOG] dial is rotated, numbers 1 through 16 can
be input at the blinking point.
3. Select the desired “digital in” and press the [ENTER/
YES] key.
The selected “digital in” will be setup.
4. Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or STOP key) to exit from the
SETUP mode.
AT SELECTION OF “adat”
At selection of “adat,” adat digital signals (1-8) only
will be assigned to tracks 1-8 and analog signals can
be input to tracks 9-16. As adat digital signals can be
input to tracks 1-8 and analog signals into tracks 9-
16 by using this feature, simultaneous recording of
analog/digital 16 tracks can be realized. For details,
refer to “Chapter 5 Features Applications.”
<Note>
If set to “S/P DIF or adat, “DIGITAL” will be lit in the
display when the DIGITAL/DATA INPUT is locked.
Should “DIGITAL” blink, check the connecting cables
between external equipment and recheck the setups of
VF-16 and external equipment.
Initial setting: [Analog]
Options: [Analog], [adat], or [SPDIF] (L=1~16,
R=1~16)
* You can set the mode for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the
song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the
power to the VF-16.
When selecting “SPDIF,” because S/P DIF digital signals
can be assigned to any two tracks within 1 through
16, simultaneous recording of S/P DIF digital signal +
analog signal is possible by input of analog signals
into the other tracks (Refer to “Chapter 5 Features
Applications” for details).

When a correct digital signal (adat or S/P DIF) is input
from the external digital equipment and then VF-16 is
locked to the input signal, "ADAT" or "SPDIF" will be lit
in the normal display as shown below.
If this display blinks, it indicating that an incorrect digi-
tal signal is input to the VF-16. In such a case, check
connections between any external equipment or the ex-
ternal equipment digital out setting.
