5. In order to monitor the digital signal coming into the 1010LT, switch to the

Patchbay/Router page of the control panel software. In the "H/W Out 1/2"
column, select the radio button named "S/PDIF In." This will copy all S/PDIF
input audio directly over to the analog outputs – therefore in this example, the
monitor mixer will be completely bypassed. Once this assignment is made,
you may play the DAT material at any time and verify that it is making it into
the Delta 1010LT successfully. This can be done regardless of whether or not
your recording software is open.

6. Within your recording software, select "S/PDIF In Delta-1010LT," as the audio

input device. The Delta input appears as a stereo pair.

7. Start your software recording and then start your DAT material playing. You

should be able to hear the DAT material through your sound system.
