Most consumer DAT recorders and MD recorders are
designed to forcibly lock to the word clock of the
input signal during recording. Such DAT recorders
can be used as a word clock master only during play-
back.

After selecting the appropriate button,
press the [ENTER] key.
The AW2816 will switch to the specified clock
source. The sampling frequency of the signal cur-
rently selected as the clock source will be indi-
cated by the Fs (sampling frequency) field in the
upper left of the display.
• If you are using the internal clock of the AW2816 as
the clock source, the sampling frequency selected
when you created the current song will be the sam-
pling frequency of the entire system.
• If you want the AW2816 to follow an external clock
source, you must make sure that the sampling fre-
quency of the song matches the value displayed in
the Fs field. If these values are different, the pitch
may change when you set the clock source back to
"INT" (internal clock).
• A certain amount of time may be required for the
AW2816 to switch clock sources, and there may be
silence during this time.
• After switching the clock source, verify that an X or/
symbol is not superimposed on the button you
selected in step 3. If an X or/symbol is displayed, or
if an error message is displayed, check whether the
clock setting and connections of the external device
is appropriate.
