1. If the left pair of contacts are bridged via two jumpers (factory default), any
equipment connected to the TDIF interface receives the word clock signal
generatedby theDDX3216.Werecommend thissettingformost TDIF-compatible
units. Please select external word clock synchronization on the external unit
connected to the TDIF interface.
2.If the right pair of contacts are bridged, any equipment connected to the TDIF
interface receives its own word clock signal, i.e. the word clock signal generated
bytheexternalequipment isloopedthrough theTDIFinterface backtothe external
unit.This allows the use of TDIF-compatible units that cannot besynchronizedvia
external word clock signals transmitted through the TDIF interface. Position 2
should be used with first-generation TASCAM®DA88®recorders or if you should
experience synchronization problems with position 1.
