How to assign the digital input on the D1600?
Digital input
The D1600 can record a digital audio signal that is input
via the S/P DIF jack.
The S/P DIF input has a built-in sampling rate converter.
Sources with sampling rates of 48 kHz or 32 kHz
can be connected directly, and will automatically be
converted to 44.1 kHz.
Here we will explain how the audio from a DAT 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 D1600, and use
an optical digital cable to connect the digital output
of your DAT to the [S/P DIF IN] jack.
2 Enable the digital input.
– Access the [INPUT] “Ch1-8” tab page.
– When you press the “DigiIn” button, a message
of “Obey Copyright Rules” will appear.
Carefully read the owner’s manual section “COPYRIGHT
WARNING” (p.1). If you accept the
terms, press the “Yes” button for the “AreYou-Sure?”
prompt. Digital input will be enabled.
3 Specify the input channels.
Select the “Ch1” icon, and rotate the [VALUE] dial
to select “S/PDIF L.” In the same way, select “S/
PDIF R” for “Ch2.”
The input from the [S/P DIF IN] jack has now been
assigned to channels 1 and 2.
4 Assign the input sound to mixer channels 1 and 2.
Play back the DAT, and press the [TRACK STATUS]
keys of tracks 1 and 2 to set them to INPUT

No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
