Chapter4-Connections and setup Word clock settings If a device such as a digital MTR or DAT recorder is digitally connected to the AW4416, the clock that controls the timing at which digital audio is processed (referred to as the "word clock") must be synchronized. To do so, you must select one of the devices as the word clock master, and set the remaining devices so that they will follow the word clock supplied from the master device. Here we will explain how to select the clock source to which the AW4416 will synchronize. Be aware that if the system includes an unsynchronized device, drop-outs and click noise will occur. 1. Turn on the power of the external digital device and of the AW4416. If an external device is connected to the SCSI connector of the AW4416, you must turn on the power in the order of external SCSI device ¡ AW4416.

You can select one pair from input channels 1/2-7/8 of the digital I/O card, and the AW4416 will synchronize to the word clock data included in the input signal of the corresponding channel. 68 - Operation Guide
