referencing this post (http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=113140.msg1514755#msg1514755) and this spec sheet (http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-PCMD50/), it looks like the D50 has optical out. Assuming it's true, is it hot/on while recording, or just on playback?
-
I've never used my opti out! If you don't get an answer I'll test it to night when I get off work and let you know.
-
Same as above... never tested, but ready to do that if you don't get an answer based on real experience.
-
I'm curious in case of patchers, or (much more likely) I feed the optical signal to an optical>coax converter which feeds to my 722 so I can clock both together (cheaply) in the off chance I run 4. :) :-\ Just thinking of options.
-
I always carry an optical mini>mini in case some one with an MD, JB3, H120, or D50 wants a patch out of my deck. I'll fire it up and see if I get an out going signal when recording once I get home.

The answer is yes... it runs hot whether in pause or recording. I use this feature quite often as a front end to my portable MD recorder as a back up at 44.1/16bit.
