Monitoring DVD HD

While not recording, it is possible to switch between monitoring the input signal (the MONITOR indicator is on) and the playback of the disc.

Use the MONITOR key on the main unit or the RC-RA1000 to switch this function on (as shown by the indicator lighting).

Note that this function is automatically turned on (i.e., monitoring the input) when the DV-RA1000HD is recording or in record ready mode.

Also note that the VFP MONO function (see “MONO” on page 24) can be used to turn monaural monitoring on and off (but this does not work in DSD mode).

Oscillator DVD HD

While not recording, the oscillator is available from the virtual front panel. (See “The virtual front panel (VFP)” on page 23.)

The oscillator output level is a reference level of analog output.

Pressing the on-screen OSC switch (use F5 (PUSH)) briefly turns the oscillator on or off (nominal level).

Pressing and holding the switch brings up the oscillator setting screen:

Use the F1 and F2 keys to navigate, and the JOG/DATA dial to change the SWITCH parameter between ON and

OFF.

Change the frequency (FREQ) between 440Hz, 1kHz and 10kHz.

NOTE

This feature can also be used with DVD and HD but not in DSD mode.

Dithering

Only available when recording CDs, use of the noise shaped dithering option may help signal-to-noise ratio when recording from digital 24-bit sources to a 16-bit CD.

There are no options—simply turn the function on or off using the virtual front panel. (See “The virtual front panel (VFP)” on page 23.)

Copy protection

This digital copy protection (SCMS) is only available when recording CDs (not DVDs and HD).

The SYSTEM SETUP menu COPY ID allows three choices:

•FREE–(free) no copy prohibit is enabled. Digital copying from the disc is possible.

•PROHIBIT–(prohibited) copy prohibit is enabled. No digital copying is possible.

•1GENERATION–(single generation) “Children” may be digitally copied from the disc, but no “grand- children” may be produced from these children.

None of these settings applies to analog copies made from the disc, of course.

Press ENTER to confirm this setting.

The setting may be changed on a track-by-track basis.
