Analog audio connection (balanced/unbalanced)

The CR500 is equipped with both the balanced (XLR-3-31) and unbalanced (RCA) [ANALOG INPUT] connectors, ensuring broad compatibility. You can connect "+4dBu" signals to the balanced input connectors, while "-10dBV" signals to the unbalanced input connectors.

To record analog signals fed to the balanced or unbalanced [ANALOG INPUT] connectors, set the "Input Sel" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" in the MENU mode to "Analog" (see page 76). By default, the "Input Sel" menu item is set to "Ana- log". If it is set to "Digital", however, you need to change the setting.

The CR500 is also equipped with both the balanced (XLR-3-32) and unbalanced (RCA) [ANALOG OUTPUT] connectors, which feed +4dBu and -10dBV analog audio signals respectively.

<Note>: When both the balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) input connectors of [ANALOG INPUT] are plugged, the unbalanced input signal takes priority (the balanced XLR connector is disabled).

Digital audio connection (AES/EBU, S/P DIF)

The CR500 is equipped with the [DIGITAL INPUT] (XLR-3-31) connector which accepts digital audio signals of both IEC 60958 (AES/EBU) and IEC 60958 (S/P DIF) format. It automatically detects the format (AES/EBU or S/P DIF) of the digital input signal. Regardless of the Fs/bit information of the input signal, the CR500 records the input signal at the Fs/bit which is set when a disc is format- ted.

To record a digital signal fed to the [DIGITAL INPUT] connectors set the "Input Sel" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" in the MENU mode to "Digital" (see page 76).

The CR500 is also equipped with the [DIGITAL OUTPUT] (XLR-3-32) connector which accepts digital audio signals of both IEC 60958 (AES/EBU) and IEC 60958 (S/P DIF) format, like the [DIGITAL INPUT] connector.

You can set the digital output signal format (AES/EBU or S/P DIF) using the "Digital Out" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" in the MENU mode (see page 77). The default setting of the "Digital Out" menu item is "AES/EBU".
