Connecting an MD recorder By connecting an MD recorder to the AW16G's DIGITAL STEREO IN or DIGITAL STEREO OUT jack, you can mixdown to the MD recorder while keeping the signal in the digital domain, or record an audio signal from the MD recorder into the AW16G. Mixing down to an MD recorder Here's how you can connect an MD recorder to the AW16G's DIGITAL STEREO OUT jack and mix down. The DIGITAL STEREO OUT jack always outputs the same signal as is recorded on the stereo track. This means that the procedure is essentially the same as for normal mixdown. 1 Lower the [STEREO] fader to the -∞ position. 2 As shown in the diagram below, use an optical cable to connect the AW16G to your MD recorder.

If desired, you can also use the mastering library. 5 When you have finished adjusting the sound and the levels, put your MD recorder in record mode, then play the AW16G from the beginning and perform the mixdown. You do not need to turn on the REC button in the MIXDOWN page at this time. 6 When you have finished the mixdown, stop the AW16G and your MD recorder.
