VR800 Quick Operation Guide

Connecting a mixer

The VR800 is a digital multitrack recorder that provides 8-track recording, and is designed to connect to a digital mixing console equipped with adat digital I/O. You can connect adat I/O connectors from a digital mixer to the DATA IN/OUT connectors on the VR800 using optical cables. You can also connect an analog mixer via an optional Model VC-8 (ADAT/ANALOG converter).

<Note>

Be sure to turn off the power to all devices before connecting the mixing console.

Digital Mixer

<Notes for using a digital mixer>

*If a digital mixer has a WORD IN connector, be sure to connect the WORD OUT connector on the VR800 to the WORD IN on the digital mixer as shown in the figure above.

*The default clock setting for the VR800’s digital-in is “asynchronous (ASYnC).” To make recordings on the VR800 connected to a digital mixer, you should usually set the VR800’s clock to “asynchronous” and the digital mixer clock setting to “word (or digital-in).” If the VR800 is connected to WORD IN on the mixing console, set the clock to “WORD.”

If the console is not equipped with WORD IN, select “digital-in.”

In this connection example, the Vari-pitch function of the VR800 is also enabled.

To edit the digital-in clock setting, use the “Digital input track setting” menu in SETUP mode. (Refer to the <Note> on the next page.)
