❍ D.ST IN
The word clock data included in the input signal from the DIGITAL STEREO IN
jack will be the clock source.
❍ WCLK IN
The word clock data included in the input signal from the WORD CLOCK IN jack
will be the clock source.
❍ INT
The internal clock of the AW4416 will be the clock source.
The currently highlighted button is selected as the word clock source.
Buttons marked with an × symbol indicate that no digital audio signal is
being input from the corresponding slot/jack.
Buttons marked with a / symbol indicate that either no digital audio sig-
nal is being input from the corresponding slot/jack, or that it is not syn-
chronized with the AW4416’s internal clock.
Buttons without an × or / symbol indicate that a digital audio signal is
being input from the corresponding slot/jack, and that it is synchronized
with the AW4416’s internal clock.
If the AW4416 is set to be an MTC slave, it is not possible for the AW4416 to
simultaneously be set as the word clock slave.
3. Select the desired clock source in the WORD CLOCK SOURCE area by
using the CURSOR [ ]/[ ]/[ ]/[ ] keys to move the cursor to the
corresponding button.
The clock source you should select will depend on the system in which you are
using the AW4416. Here we will explain some typical situations.
❍ Using the AW4416 as the word clock master
If no external digital device is connected to the AW4416, or if you wish to use the
AW4416 as the word clock master so that external devices such as a digital MTR
will follow it, turn on the INT button of the WORD CLOCK SOURCE area.
• Set the digital MTR so that it will synchronize to the word clock included in
the input signal from the AW4416.
• If you are using two digital MTR units, connect the Sync Out jack of the first
to the Sync In jack of the second as shown here, so that the second digital
MTR will follow the first.
