will synchronize.

● SLOT 1 1/2–7/8

● SLOT 2 1/2–7/8

The input signal from a digital I/O card installed
in OPTION I/O slots 1/2 will be the clock
source. One pair of digital I/O card input chan­nels 1/2–7/8 can be selected.

● INT

The internal clock of the AW4416 will be used
as the clock source.

● D.ST IN

The word clock data included in the input sig­nal of the DIGITAL STEREO IN jack will be the
clock source.

● WCLK IN

The word clock data included in the input sig­nal of the WORD CLOCK IN jack will be the
clock source.

• The highlighted button indicates the cur­rently selected word clock source.

• Buttons marked with an “X” indicate that no
digital audio signal is being input from the
corresponding slot/jack.

• Buttons marked by a / indicate that a digital
audio signal is being input from the corre­sponding slot/jack, but is not synchronized
with the internal clock of the AW4416.

• Buttons without an X or / symbol indicate
that a digital audio signal is being input from
the corresponding slot/jack, and is synchro­nized with the internal clock of the

C FS (sampling frequency)

This shows the sampling frequency of the signal
that is currently selected as the clock source.

If you select an external clock as the clock
source, you must check that the sampling fre­quency of the song matches the frequency of
the external clock. For example if you are
synchronized to a 48 kHz external clock and
record on a 44.1 kHz song, be aware that the
pitch will change when you return the clock
source setting to “INT” and play back.

D VARI (vari-pitch)

If “INT” is selected as the clock source, you can
select whether the sampling frequency will be
fixed (FIX button on) or variable (VARI button
on). If “FIX” is selected, the control change fre­quency of the internal clock will be displayed at
the right.

If “VARI” is selected, you can move the cursor
to the knob at the right and rotate the [DATA/
JOG] dial to make fine adjustments to the sam­pling frequency over a range of –5.97%–
+6.00%.

■ Additional functions in the D.in

F1

• [F1] (CHANGE TAB) key

Switch between the two types of tab display.

E STEREO BUS CASCADE

This selects whether the digital device con­nected to the DIGITAL STEREO IN jack will be
cascaded with the stereo bus of the AW4416.

When you move the cursor to the “DISABLE”
button and press the [ENTER] key, the button
display will change to “ENABLE,” and the input
signal from the DIGITAL STEREO IN jack will
be sent directly to the stereo bus of the
AW4416. At this time, you can use the ATT.
knob to adjust the level (attenuation) of the
input signal.

In order for the device connected to the DIG­ITAL STEREO IN jack to be cascade-con­nected to the stereo bus, the clock source
must be set to “D.ST IN.” If another clock
source is selected, a message of “CANNOT
ASSIGN DIGITAL-ST-IN.” will be displayed,
and it will not be possible to set the button to
“ENABLE.”
