Selecting the input source

The input source for recording can be selected as described here:

1Press the MENU key, and use the JOG/DATA dial to select SYSTEM SETUP. Press ENTER.

2Use the JOG/DATA dial to select I/O SELECT. Press

ENTER.

3Use the JOG/DATA dial to select from the follow- ing screen:

Figure 4.17: Selecting the input source

4First, choose between ANALOG and DIGITAL on the INPUT parameter.

If you choose the analog option, remember that both the balanced XLR inputs and the unbal- anced RCA inputs are active together, but you should only use one set.

5If you are recording to CD, or a 44.1/48 kHz or 88.2/96 kHz-sampling frequency PCM DVD and HD, select the DIO parameter (digital I/O) as ei- ther AES/EBU or COAXIAL (S/PDIF). The appropriate digital terminals will also be used for output of the digital signal.

If you are recording to a 176.4/192 kHz-sampling frequency DVD and HD, this option is not avail- able, and AES/EBU is the only option available.

If you are recording to a DSD DVD and HD, the signals will always be input and output through the BNC connectors. The DIO parameter here chooses the format in which the audio is sent and received: DSD-RAW, which is the raw DSD bit stream, or SDIF-3(no other options are avail- able). Consult the documentation for your other equipment to find out what format is most suit- able for your setup.

6Finally, in the case of 88.2/96 kHz-sampling fre- quency DVD and HD with AES/EBU selected as the input/output connector, there is an option to select double-wire or double-speed as the I/O format (MODE).

The COAXIAL option allows double-speed mode only, and 176.4/192 kHz-sampling fre- quency is double-speed + double-wire mode, and cannot be changed.

7Press ENTER to confirm your settings and return to the system setup menu.

TIP

The DV-RA1000HD is not equipped with a sampling rate converter.

If you set the INPUT parameter to DIGITAL, in- put a signal with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz for CD recording. For DVD±RW or HD recording in PCM mode, input a signal with the same sampling frequency as that for the project.
