DAT Backup/Restore
Digital l/O
The DI-10 Digital I/O Interface (S/PDIF) provides direct Digital Input and Output connection to
and from the ASR-10 using RCA-type connectors. The Digital Output will provide direct 44.1
KHz digital audio output of the Main Output mix when the current effect uses a 44.1 KHz sample
rate. The Digital Input can be used for direct digital sampling from an external digital audio
source at 44.1 or 48 KHz. The Digital Input and Output conform to the S/PDIF standard.
Note:
If you wish to record the 44.1 KHz digital output of the ASR-10 to a DAT
recorder, the DAT recorder must be able to record from its digital input at 44.1 KHz.
Some older/consumer DAT recorders do not record at 44.1 KHz as a copy protection
scheme: these DAT recorders will not record the ASR-10‘s 44.1 KHz digifal output.
DAT Settings
Set your DAT machine to the following:
l Record Source or Input set to Digital.
l Sampling Frequency Rate at 44.1.
l S/PDIF Digital I/O as the record source and playback output (not AES/EBU).
l Program time Off.
l Disable Auto Start ID’s if possible on your DAT machine.
DAT BACKUP
Get Set
Before powering up, make sure you look over the following checklist:
l The SCSI cable is connected to the ASR-10 and SCSI Storage Device.
. The SCSI Storage Device is formatted to the ASR-10.
l Proper SCSI termination is achieved.
l The Priority/ID Number on the SCSI Storage Device is set.
l The DAT machine and ASR-10 are connected by two RCA-type phono jack video dub cables
as follows:
ASR-10 digital I/O output to S/PDIF digital DAT input;
ASR-10 digital I/O input to S/PDIF digital DAT output.
l The DAT machine settings are selected as indicated above.
You’re Ready
U+F Important: Power on in this order to avoid damage:
1. Turn on the SCSI Storage Device(s) first and wait approximately 20 seconds.
2 If you’re using a removable SCSI medium, insert a formatted cartridge into the SCSI Storage
Device.
3. Turn on the DAT machine.
4. Insert the Operating System floppy disk into the ASR-10 disk drive.
5. Turn on the ASR-10.
If there is an O.S. in the floppy drive, the ASR-10 will boot from that. Otherwise, it will boot
from the SCSI Storage Device with the highest priority/ID.
6. Insert a DAT tape. Fast-forward and rewind your DDS Data Grade 60 meter length DAT
tape(s) to stretch them and pack them evenly on the spools.
