5.3 Connecting a 2-track recorder
The TM-D1000 provides both XLR and RCA con-
nectors for output of the stereo busses. The format in
which data can be output is either AES/EBU or
SPDIF. Either format may be selected for output
from either connector, but each output can only
transmit one format at a time (i.e. it is possible to
output AES/EBU from output
A
XLR and SPDIF
from output
B
RCA, but not to output AES/EBU
from output
A
XLR and SPDIF from output
A
RCA).
To choose the connector from which the L-R stereo
output busses will be transmitted:
1
Press and hold down the
SHIFT
key, and
press the
OPTION
key.
2
Turn the
DATA ENTRY
knob until the bottom

Press the
ENTER
key, and turn the
DATA
ENTRY
knob to choose the busses which will
be output from the digital outputs.
The options available are as follows:
L-R:1-2
,
L-R:3-4
,
1-2:3-
4
, and
L-R: L-R
.
To use a digital 2-track mastering recorder, select
one of the options which outputs L-R to the digi-
tal connector to which your 2-track mastering
recorder is connected.

Push the
DATA ENTRY
knob to change
between the
A
and
B
digital outputs, and
turn it to select between
SPDIF
and
AES/EBU
output formats for that output.
When AES/EBU output is selected, the appropri-
ate indicator immediately above the stereo master
fader (
A
or
B
) will light.
5.4 Connecting a digital audio
source
Because the TM-D1000 is a digital mixer, it is possi-
ble to use a digital audio source (e.g. a CD player,
MD player, DAT recorder or effect unit, synthesizer
or sampler with digital capabilities).
If you are using a DAT recorder as your 2-track mas-
tering recorder, this facility allows you to use the dig-
ital output of the DAT recorder for monitoring your
mix through the TM-D1000.
This audio source may be connected through digital
input
A
, which provides both XLR and RCA connec-
tors, and automatically recognizes the data format
(either AES/EBU or SPDIF). It is then routed
through to any of the input channels:
1
Press and hold down the
SHIFT
key, and
press the
OPTION
key.
