MPC 1000 Digital Out 'NOT' Coax Digital

this seems to be a standard digital stereo out.

why???

as my Pioneer CDR Deck does not Sync under its own 'Coax' recording mode when recording from the MPC 1000 digital out into the Coaxial digital in of my Pioneer CDR deck.

check this...

when you connect from a Real Coaxial digital output (like those on CD Players, or even DVD players), my Pioneer allows you to sync the incoming signal, i.e. as soon as you press play on device 1 (with Coax out)...then Device 2 (my Pioneer) starts recording.

this means that the MPC 1000 doesnt have a coaxial digital in & out.

its just a cheaper version (of Coax digital) that still carries the digital format in stereo form.

Hi Roopesh

To quote:
"Manual"
[DIGITAL OUT] plug:
This is the coaxial digital output. It sends out the same
signal as the [STEREO OUT] plug.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but if you're right it's a shame that Akai are casual about their product specifications.
It's not the first time i will have seen this with manufacturers though!

There's no commands that say "sync" in the SPDIF format. There's no "cheaper version". If the receiver wants to sync, it just looks for the beginning of sound. Check that your cable is actually on the MPC...my connector was pretty tight and didn't just slip on.
Are you getting sound, aside from not being able to sync?
(just for reference, there's 2 basic digital I/O types: SPDIF & AES/EBU. SPDIF is the consumer version (CD's, etc), AES/EBU is the professional version. TOSLink is the optical version of SPDIF...your pioneer is calling the RCA cable "Coax", what's the other option, Optical?)

"when you connect from a Real Coaxial digital output (like those on CD Players, or even DVD players), my Pioneer allows you to sync the incoming signal, i.e. as soon as you press play on device 1 (with Coax out)...then Device 2 (my Pioneer) starts recording."

Many consumer devices do not send a SPDIF signal unless the equipment is actually playing. This is not typical for `pro` devices. Pro devices will usually send an SPDIF all the time. This is usually preferred since you can lock the receiving device ahead of time prior to recording. This is a very important check since pro studios charge by the hour and there is nothing like re-taking a track just because there was a sync issue (and thus pissing off the band since the last take was the best).
