Topic: ADI 8 DS MK3 questions

I'm having 2 ADI 8 DS MK3 questions
I've got the unit connected via ADAT to a SSL Alphalink AX Madi (connected to HDSPe MADI)
On the HDSPe the ADI channels are 25-32
I need the unit to convert ADAT to AES (1,2,3,4 via db25 breakout)
And also the other way around from AES to ADAT
I find the 8 settings in the manual confusing
In which position should the switch on the left of the unit sit?
In some positions i get signal, but also feedback loops
I've got a tascam DA3000 DSD RECORDER conected to aes pair 1 (in and out)
Both the tascam, HDSPe, ADI 8 are synced via wordclock to the Alphalink

2nd question
Is there are way to pass the trs analogue inputs on to the db25 analogue output, without conversion, for monitoring purpises?
Thnx fior your help.

1. Top LED (AES ADAT) and lowest LED (ADAT AES) must be lit.

2. Sorry, no.
