S/PDIF Error: "There is no input at the digital receiver"
This error usually indicates that there is nothing attached to the Digital 
In connection, or whatever is attached there isn't hooked up correctly or 
isn't working right. 

* NOTHING ATTACHED:
  Something needs to be attached to the card in order to receive digital 
  data.  If you don't want to record from the Digital I/O, do not select the
  S/PDIF as an input.  (You must explicitly select the digital in when you
  want to use it.)

* DAT MACHINE ATTACHED BUT DIGITAL I/O IS NOT WORKING:
  The DAT needs to broadcast a clock signal on the S/PDIF output (90% do.)  
  If this clock signal isn't there, the Fiji will tell you that there's 
  nothing attached.  Turning on a DAT before the computer is on can cause 
  the Fiji to lose synch with the DAT.  You can avoid this by turning on 
  the computer, then the DAT machine. Or with the computer On, turn the DAT 
  first Off and then On. 

  Many portable DAT recorders have only one jack for both input/output. 
  In these cases you will not be able to make the S/PDIF transfer work. 
  This is because the clock is only broadcast when the DAT is in playback
  mode. Such DATs are always in Record mode until they are explicitly told 
  to play something, at which time the clock signal is generated and sent via
  the cable to the S/PDIF Input on the Fiji.

  Most DATs with only one jack for both in and out will have an optional 
  accessory connection with a separate In and Out jack.  

* Digital I/O Bracket: 
  Make certain that the Digital I/O Bracket cable is connected to jumper JP1
  on the Fiji card. The Red (wire) should be on the pin towards the top of 
  the card.
