Section 5.2 - Monitoring

Use the flowchart (5.2.5, “Monitoring flowchart” and tables (5.2.6, “Monitoring tables”) for refer- ence to the monitoring modes available.

The AUTO MON key [5] is used in punch record- ing, providing automatic switching between source and off-tape monitoring as the punch-in recording progresses. See 6.7, “Punch operations” for full details.

5.2.1 ALL INPUT

The ALL INPUT key [4] allows the switching of monitoringso that the output from all tracks on the currently-selected unit, or all units if the Key Mode has been enabled (see 7.2.2, “Key Mode”) is from the input source.

5.2.2 INPUT MONITOR keys

These keys [2] are only operational when control- ling a DA-98 unit. They are used to select off-tape or source monitoring on a track-by-track basis.

For full details of how these keys are used, see section 7 of the DA-98 manual.

However, these indicators will always show the track monitoring status, regardless of the model of DTRS unit connected to the RC-898. This can be seen most clearly in punch-in mode (see 6.7, “Punch operations”), when in conjunction with the AUTO MON key [5], these indicators auto- matically change to show the monitoring status of the tracks as the punch operations proceed.

Using the RC-898 REC FUNCTION keys to change the status of any tracks while the ALL INPUT function is on will lose the relationship between the REC FUNCTION and INPUT MONITOR status for individual tracks when ALL INPUT is turned off again. Start recording or re- set the REC FUNCTION keys to restore this

5.2.3 Shuttle monitoring

3898 Shuttle monitoring can be enabled or dis- abled on a per-machine basis for DA-38 and DA- 98 units connected to the RC-898.

Briefly, the shuttle monitoring, when turned on, mutes the replay from unarmed tracks, and moni- tors the input source of armed tracks when the machine is in shuttle mode. A fuller explanation of shuttle monitoring is given in section 9.1 (4) of the DA-38 manual, and section 7.1.3 of the DA-98 manual.

5.2.4 Shuttle muting

98 DA-98 units incorporate a shuttle muting fea- ture. The shuttle muting for DA-98 is enabled or disabled from the RC-898 in the following way:
