Basic Recording and Playback give detailed
instructions for connecting the ADAT HD24 to a
variety of typical audio systems and guides you
through your first recordings step-by-step. The

know about, but that make recording and mixing
easier: Using Locate Points, Editing.
Chapters 6-9 cover deep background
information that will help you use your ADAT
HD24 to its greatest capability by synchronizing it to
other ADATs, communicating with sequencers
using MIDI, connecting it to a computer using
Ethernet, and adding 88.2/96 kHz sampling.
Near the end of the manual are troubleshooting
