Chapter 4 Appendices

1. Troubleshooting

■No sound!

^Is the power of the D8 and other equipment turned on? (→ p.8)

^Is the [MASTER] fader or [PHONES] knob of the D8 turned down? (→ p.2, p.7)

^Are the channel volume levels of the D8 turned down? If you have used the Scene Read operation, the actual volume levels may not match the fader positions.

→To bring the actual levels into correspondence with the

faders, raise and lower the faders.

 

 

 

^Is the [TRACK STATUS] set to MUTE? (→

p.58)

 

^Are the audio cables connected correctly? (→

p.7)

 

^Is an audio cable broken?

 

 

 

^Has the volume of a connected device been lowered?

(→ p.8)

 

 

 

 

 

The input sound cannot be heard, or is too soft

 

 

^Is [TRIM] set appropriately? (→ p.10, p.11)

 

 

 

^Make sure

that

[TRACK STATUS] is

set

to

REC.

(→ p.10)

 

 

 

 

 

^Make sure

that

[REC SELECT] matches

the

input

source. (→ p.60)

^If using AUX input, has the “AuxRet” level been set to 0 or near 0? (→ p.64)

^For playback, has “Monitor” been set to Auto? (→ p.47) ^Is the digital input format incorrect?

→Connect an instrument or digital audio device that sup- ports the CP-1201 or S/P DIF formats.

■Channel faders and EQ do not function!

^When the [TRACK STATUS] is REC, the EQ and fader will apply only to the input sound, and not to the play- back sound.

→If you want the EQ and fader to apply, set the [TRACK STATUS] to PLAY for playback.

■Cannot record!

^Has the [CHANNEL] fader of the D8 been lowered? (When [REC SELECT] is INPUT 1/2 or DIGITAL IN) (→ p.10, p.11)

^Has the master fader of the D8 been lowered? (When [REC SELECT] is MASTER) (→ p.17)

^Make sure that the [TRACK STATUS] of the track you wish to record is set to REC. (→ p.10, p.11, p.17)

^Is there insufficient time available for recording on the disk? (→ p.51)

^Has “InAssign” been set appropriately for the source that you are recording? (→ p.48)

^Does [REC SELECT] match the input source? (→ p.60)

■Time available for recording does not match the remaining time!

^When [DISPLAY MODE] is indicating FreeTime (→ p.51), the time available for recording that is calcu- lated from the remaining disk capacity may be less than the time that can actually be recorded. This is not a mal- function.

→Normally, FreeTime calculates and displays the time that is available for monaural (i.e., single track) record-

ing on the disk drive that is currently being used. To check the time that is available for stereo recording or simultaneous two-track recording, set two [TRACK STATUS] indicators to REC.

→When you record over a previously recorded track, the previously recorded data will be saved on disk, mean- ing that extra disk capacity will be used. If you do not need to keep the previously recorded track, you can save disk capacity by performing the Undo operation before re-recording.

→When you record over a previously recorded track, the disk capacity will be affected as follows. For example, suppose that you recorded a certain track for ten min- utes (A–B), and then re-recorded for twelve minutes (A–C) so as to overlay the A–B region. The data initially recorded in the A–B region (approximately 50 MB of data for 10 minutes) will remain even after you record over (overwrite) it, meaning that a total of 22 minutes of capacity (approximately 110 MB) will be occupied. In such cases if you wish to conserve disk capacity, make sure that the HDD access indicator is completely dark, and then turn the power off and back on again. The D8 will automatically erase the previously recorded data (A–B), thus increasing the remaining disk capacity.

→As another example, suppose that you recorded a cer- tain track for ten minutes (A–B), and then re-recorded for five minutes (C–D) on part of that track. In this case, the data that was initially recorded in the A–C region is still usable, so the A–B region that was initially recorded will not be erased even if you turn the power

off and back on. In such cases, you can perform the sec- ond operation in [E] DiskBusy (→ p.67) to conserve disk space.

→During recording, disk capacity will be used even if you are not inputting any sound (i.e., silence). You can conserve disk space by using punch-in/out recording only for the necessary areas, or by using the Erase Track operation to erase sections which recorded a silence.

■There is excessive noise or distortion in the input sound or recorded sound!

^Is [TRIM] set appropriately? If [TRIM] is too high, the sound will be prone to distorting. If it is too low, exces- sive noise will be heard.

→Set “ChMtr” to Pre, and adjust the [TRIM] so that the level meter for each channel goes as high as possible

without allowing CLIP to light.

^Is the distortion occurring at the input or output of the effect?
