NOTE

If time mode is selected, the DELAY parameter is dis- abled.

Automatic track increment recording in time mode

In time mode, a recording is automatically divided into tracks at every specified interval.

Specifying the interval

Move the cursor to highlight TIME INTERVAL on the auto

track screen, then rotate the JOG/DATA dial to set the interval in the range from 1 through 10 minutes (in steps of one minute). (The default setting is 5 minutes.) Press the ENTER key to confirm the setting.

NOTE

A maximum of 99 tracks are allowed on a CD, and a maximum of 99 tracks in a project on a DVD±RW or HD. When the number of tracks reaches 99 during recording on a DVD±RW or on the HD, the DV-RA1000HD will continue recording on the 99th track.

Synchronized recording DVD±RW HD

The synchronized recording function enables recording to start automatically when the start point of the record- ing source is detected, and to stop automatically when the end point of the recording source is detected.

In the sound level screen, you can set a detection threshold to trigger the start and end points of the source. (See “Setting the sound threshold level (SOUND LEVEL)” below.)

You can also rehearse synchronized recording. Pressing the SYNC switch on the rec page of the virtual front panel repeatedly will cycle the function through off, rehears- al, and on.

Recording starts and stops under the following condi- tions:

•If a CD, DAT or MD is the S/PDIF recording source, recording starts when the signal level rises above the

threshold after the Start ID of the PQ code is detected.

•If DD mode is on and digital recording takes place through the COAXIAL connectors, recording starts when the Start ID of the PQ code is detected from a CD, DAT or MD player.

•If the source is analog, or digital other than the above-mentioned recording starts if one second or more of “below-threshold” signal is received, fol- lowed by a signal above the threshold.

If the sound immediately starts at a loud level, recording will not start.

•Recording stops when the signal drops and remains below the threshold longer than the duration speci- fied by the SYNC STOP parameter, or in the case of recording from a S/PDIF source, when a digital track stop signal is received.

Settings in the sound level screen

The sound level screen enables you to set the sound threshold level for synchronized recording and other parameters.

To display the sound level screen, move the cursor to the SYNC switch on the rec page of the virtual front panel, then press and hold the F5 key or ENTER key for at least one second.

Figure 5.5: Sound level screen

Move the cursor to a desired item, then rotate the JOG/DATA dial to set the value.

After you finish making all necessary settings, press the ENTER key to confirm the settings.

Setting the sound threshold level (SOUND LEVEL)

Synchronized recording starts when the DV-RA1000HD detects audio signal level that goes above a specified sound threshold level.

Select the threshold level from the following options:

–72dB, –66dB, –60dB, –54dB, –48dB, –42dB, –36dB, –30dB, –24dB

NOTE

•The threshold level is also used for the auto cue function (see “Auto cue” on page 32) and auto- matic track increment in level mode (see “Auto- matic track increment in level mode” on page 34).

•In DSD mode, if you have selected an option that is lower than –48 dB, the DV-RA1000HD will use the –48 dB setting.
