• Do not subject the DA824 to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, or dust, which could be a potential fire or electrical shock hazard. • Do not allow water to enter the DA824 or allow it to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may result.
• Turn off audio devices when connecting them to the DA824, and use only the cables specified in the relevant owner’s manuals. • If you plan not to use the DA824 for a long period of time, remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Leaving the DA824 connected is a potential fire hazard.

DA824 (at least 10 cm of free space behind). If the DA824 is mounted in a portable rack case, keep the rear of the case open when using the DA824, so as not to obstruct the flow of air from the air vents. Do not mount the DA824 next to equipment that produces a lot of heat, such as a power amplifier.
This indicator lights up when the DA824 is powered up. POWER switch This switch is used to turn on the power to the DA824. It’s recessed to prevent accidental operation. See “Turning On the Power” on page 1 for more information.
MODEL DA824 THRU SLOT COM port This port is for updating the DA824’s internal firmware and is not used in normal oper- ation. WORD CLOCK THRU connector This BNC connector transmits the wordclock signal received at the WORD CLOCK IN.
3 Digital I/O Cards About Digital I/O Cards For digital input, the DA824 uses optional mini YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) cards, which are available in all the popular digital audio interconnect for- mats, including AES/EBU, ADAT, and Tascam TDIF-1.
Keep the cover and fixing screws in a safe place for future use. Insert the card between the guide rails and slide it all the way into the slot, as shown below. You may have to push firmly to plug the card into the DA824 connector.
4 Hookup Examples In the following hookup examples, the “Digital Audio Device” could be any device with a compatible AES/EBU or ADAT interface, including the following Yamaha products with the necessary I/O cards installed: DME32 Digital Mixing Engine, 02R Digital Recording Console, 03D Digital Mixing Console, 01V Digital Mixing Console, or D24 Digital Multitrack Recorder.
AES/EBU Connection with Splitter Cable This example shows how both an AD824 and DA824 can be connected to a digital audio device with a single AES/EBU interface by using MY8-AE I/O cards and a custom AES/EBU splitter cable. Pin wiring details for the AES/EBU interface are supplied with each MY8-AE I/O card.
WORD CLOCK IN con- nector, this is used instead. The LOCK indicator lights up when the DA824 is locked to the wordclock source and synchronized to the digital audio signal. It flashes if the DA824 is not synchronized to the digital audio signal.
The DA824’s WORD CLOCK 75 ON/OFF switch allows the DA824 to be connected in a variety of ways. The following examples show three ways in which wordclock signals can be distributed and how ter- mination should be applied in each case.
