Digital input
The D16 allows digital input and recording via its S/P
DIF connector.
As an example, we will explain how audio from a CD
player connected to the [S/P DIF IN] jack can be input
to mixer channels 1 and 2.
1 Connect the digital output device.
Lower the [MASTER] fader of the D16, and use an
optical digital cable to connect the digital output of
the CD player to the [S/P DIF IN] jack.
2 Enable the digital input.
Select the [INPUT] “Ch1–8” tab page.
Press the “DigiIn” button to turn it “On” (high-
lighted).
3 Specify the input channel.
Press the “Ch1” icon, and rotate the [VALUE] dial
to select “S/P DIF L.” Similarly, set “Ch2” to “S/P
DIF R.” This assigns the input from [S/P DIF IN]
to channels 1 and 2.
4 Specify the recording tracks.
Playback the CD, and press the [TRACK STATUS]
keys for tracks 1 and 2 to set them to REC (LED lit
red).
5 Check the record mode and input level, and audi-
tion the sound.
Refer to steps 5, 6, and 7 of “Assign the guitar
input from [GUITAR IN] to mixer channel 1.”
Here’s how to record the audio sources that you
assigned to mixer channels in “1. Selecting the input/
record track” (p.16).
If you wish to create a new song and record it, refer
to “1. Creating a new song” (p.14).
Turn [RHSL] off.
1 Set the recording level.
Use the [CHANNEL] fader to adjust the recording
level.
Press the [METER/TRACK VIEW] key.
Press the “ ” button, select “PostFaderLev,”
and press the “OK” button.
As you gradually raise the [CHANNEL] fader,
the level meter of the input channel will rise cor-
respondingly. Raise the level as far as possible
without allowing the level bar to reach “CLP.”
2 Move the current time to the location where you
wish to start recording. (p.24)
We will start recording from the beginning of the
song (“001.01.000” or “000:00.000”).
