I just got my hands into a VSR-880 + VM-3100 Combo, I'm trying to set up the optical link...

I can hear all my conected gear from the headphone jack on the mixer.

My question is:

How do I have to set them up using the optical cable to monitor the sound from the Recorder, and therefore start recording?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Routing in the VM3100 is a bitch. By default the digital channels come in on 9/10 or 11/12 (I think). You may have to turn them on though. If you have your manual look for how to route the busses.

When I get home I can look at my mixer to see what the procedure is. I know you have to hit a couple buttons and page through the menu to find it.
 
First just hook them up and try ch 9/10 or 11/12. If that doesnt work let me know.
 
before we go any further, let me ask you...

how does the optical link work?

I have 7 inputs of audio plugged in the mixer,

I want to record them as I send them, each track independently from the VSR, so I can punch in and edit them them separately track by track...will the ONE optical cable that I have coming from the mixer to the recorder suffice?

Or do I have to use the RMDB interface for this?

I've never used optical before! I don't know if thisa is possible.

Cheers
 
The optical in/out will function the same as any line level in/out. You just have to make sure that it is assigned to a channel on the Roland. It is a 2 track/stereo connection. If you want to transfer all 8 tracks at the same time you will need the RMDB.

The RMDB is a 8x8 in/out digital interface between the mixer and another recorder and mixer.
