Using more than one DA-302, Example

Section 9 : Using more than one DA-302

9-1. Continuous recording with more than one DA-302

One input source can be recorded continuously on more than one DA-302 beginning with the first deck, then the second deck, and so on.

1 Connect DA-302s as shown in the figure.

áThe connections marked with * in the figure shows the connections for analog signal recording. When recording digital signals, connect the recording source to the master deck's DIGITAL INPUTS 1 connector and the DIGITAL CASCADE OUTPUT connector to the slave deck's DIGITAL INPUTS 1 connector.

6 Set Deck 1 in the master deck to the Record mode to start recording.

When Deck 1 reaches the ABS time of Deck 1 set with "Seqtime", Deck 2 starts recording.

When Deck 2 reaches the ABS time of Deck 2 of the master deck, Deck 1 in the second deck receives the command from the EXT CONTROL IN connector and starts recording. This process continues from deck to deck, enabling continuous recording.

7 To stop recording, press the STOP key on the deck which is currently recording.

ÉAfter recording, each deck automatically rewinds the tape to the beginning either 3 minutes after the time set with "Seqtime" or when the tape end is reached.

Example:

First deck settings (master )

Seqtime: 2H00M00S

∗

∗SLAVE

WR-7000

∗∗

Second deck settings (slave) Seqtime: 2H00M00S

Third deck settings (slave) Seqtime: 2H00M00S

With these settings, the recording operation is as follows.

(1)	When the ABS time of the first deck's Deck 1 reaches
	2H00M00S, Deck 2 of the first deck starts recording.
(2)	When the ABS time of the first deck's Deck 2 reaches
	2H00M00S, Deck 1 of the second deck starts record-
	ing.
(3)	When the ABS time of the second deck's Deck 1 reach-
	es 2H00M00S, Deck 2 of the second deck starts
	recording.

2 Set the first DA-302 to Master Deck and the other DA- 302s to Slave Deck. Set decks to master/slave deck with "Control" in the menu. (œp.28)

3 For all connected DA-302s, perform procedures 2 to 4 in the "5.4 Continuous recording".

4 Press the REW key on Deck 1 in the master deck to rewind the tapes in Deck 1 in the master deck and the slave decks to the beginning.

áOnly the REW key on Deck 1 of the master deck controls the slave decks.

5 Press the REW key on Deck 2 in the master deck to rewind the tape in Deck 2 in the master deck to the beginning.

(4)	When the ABS time of the second deck's Deck 2 reach-
	es 2H00M00S, Deck 1 of the third deck starts record-
	ing.
(5)	When the ABS time of the third deck's Deck 1 reaches
	2H00M00S, Deck 2 of the third deck starts recording.
(6)	When the ABS time of the third deck's Deck 2 reaches
	2H03M00S or the tape is reached to its end, all opera-
	tions are complete.
	áIf "Loop" in the menu of the master deck is set to
	"On"(œp.28), Deck 1 of the first deck starts
	recording when the ABS tme of the third deck’s
	Deck 2 reaches 2H00M00S. In this case, change the
	tape if required.
