Owner`s manual

difference between the two modes 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. In most professional equipment, this

copy protection bit can be turned off or on according to the user’s needs. In

consumer products, the SCMS bit is always enabled.

Unfortunately there is no way for the transmitting device to automatically

detect which format the receiving device is able to accept. If you have a

DAT deck that is not able to read the S/PDIF output from Mona, chances

are Mona is transmitting in the mode that the deck is not equipped to

handle.

We have provided a software switch in the Mona driver that allows you to

select which mode Mona transmits. To access this switch go to the Mona

Echo Console

. In the

Options

menu select either

S/PDIF Pro

S/PDIF

Consumer

. Select the appropriate format for your DAT (if you don’t know

which one to use, simply select the one that is not currently checked). Now

try recording to your DAT again.

Important note: Mona never transmits the SCMS bit; regardless of which

mode is selected.

Problem:

When you play an audio file, it plays at an altered pitch.

Solution

: When Mona is set to sync with an external device, it will play

back at the rate generated by that device. If the sound you are playing was

sampled at 11kHz (for example), but you are synchronized with a device

running at 44.1kHz, the sound will play back at this faster rate. You have

four choices - ignore the altered pitch, switch to Mona’s internal clock,

change the sample rate of the external device, or use a different device for

the sound playback.

Problem:

Mona doesn’t seem to recognize the synchronization clock to

which it is connected.

Solution

: Although it may seem obvious, the first thing to check is that

there is a physical connection between the device generating the clock and
