No problem, glad to help.
Hey, is anybody recording in through the S/PDIF onto channels 7 & 8? Can you run through the menu setup on that for me, I'm not sure if I'm reading the manual right. What I'm wondering is, do you have to switch 7/8 from recording the stereo mix to recording the S/PDIF input, and if so, how?
UPDATE - I tried this: In Menu under REC > ST REC, I selected 'DIN'. Under I/O > INPUT SEL, I selected ANALOG (this refers to channels 5/6, even though it doesn't say so on the display) . Plugged in the S/PDIF out from an outputting DA-P1 , both set to 44.1, and the 680 indicates 'DIN LOCK'. So this looks good so far. But I'm not seeing any indication of input level on the 680 or hearing anything from the headphone monitor.
UPDATE II - OK, I figured it out: Under HOME/FUNC you have to select DIN MONITOR (i.e. un-select MIX MONITOR) to hear the S/PDIF input. Yahoo! 7/8 have mic inputs!
This is pretty cool. If you've got a DA-P1 laying around (they go for around $150 on fleabay these days, if you don't), you can have an eight mic input 680 for a song. The DA-P1's mic preamps are pretty decent, too.
PS - Hell of a deal on a nice DA-P1 here. (I almost wish I needed another one!):
