If you feel that a change is needed in the defaults for these settings because
of poor MTC synchronization, it is generally wise to adjust the
Tolerance
setting first. Use the
Damping
adjustment if you are unable to obtain
satisfactory results with the
Tolerance
setting.
S/PDIF Output Format
The fifth and sixth options are
S/PDIF Pro
and
S/PDIF Consumer
.
Layla24 can transmit digital information in either of two formats,
“professional” or “consumer.” The primary difference between the two is in
the implementation of the SCMS copy protection bit, which, in the
Consumer
format, prevents the user from making digital copies of a digital
copy.
Layla24’s S/PDIF output defaults to the
Professional
format. If you are
recording from Layla24 into a consumer DAT deck, CD recorder, or Mini
Disc recorder, the device may not be able to recognize the signal until you
switch Layla24’s output to
Consumer
.
We have provided a software switch in the Layla24 driver that allows you
to select which format Layla24 transmits. In the
Options
menu, you’ll see
a check next to
S/PDIF Pro
or
S/PDIF Consumer
. The format that is
checked is the current one. Select the appropriate format for your DAT,
CD recorder, or Mini Disc recorder (if you don’t know which one to use
and are having difficulties, simply try the one that is not currently
checked).
Important note: Layla24 never transmits the SCMS bit; regardless of which
format is selected.
