MV-8800 Using the MV8-OP1
Using the MV8-OP1
1.
Connect the MV-8800 with your R-BUS device.
2.
Press [SYSTEM].
The SYSTEM MENU screen (Screen Guide; p. 172) will appear.
3.
With the cursor located in the upper row of icons, press [F1](Global). Alternatively, select
the GLOBAL icon and press [ENTER].
The GLOBAL screen (Screen Guide; p. 173) will appear.
4.
Set the Input Select parameter to “R-BUS.”
Audio can now be input via R-BUS channels 1 and 2. When you switch the setting, the illustration of the input
connectors shown in the GLOBAL screen will also change.
Inputting digital audio into R-BUS
You cannot use R-BUS channels 3–8 to input audio into the MV-8800.
Since the MV8-OP1 contains a sampling rate converter, there is no restriction on the sampling rates that can
be input. All signals will be converted to 44.1 kHz.
Ordinarily, word clock is generated within, and output by the device transmitting digital signals (the master).
Meanwhile, the receiving device (the slave) receives the word clock and adjusts its operation (synchronizes)
to that clock. This means that the operation of the transmitting and receiving devices is based on the same
sampling rate. With some devices, however, the sampling rate used may differ.
The digital circuitry of the MV8-OP1 (optional), which can be combined with the MV-8800, features a built-in
sampling rate converter. This enables reception of digital signals, even when the sampling rate of the received
signals differs. The digital signals transmitted from the R-BUS are matched to the received sampling rate.
Also, with some R-BUS devices, you could encounter situations such as the following:
No word clock can be generated (only slave operation is available)
Due to circumstances with the connection, the device needs to be set to receive word clock (slave).
In such situations, you can make the MV-8800 the word clock master by setting it to “Internal.” However, the
sampling rate of the digital signals output from the R-BUS will be fixed at 44.1 kHz.
