CD-R/RW MASTER RECORDER CR500 (Connection)

<Note>: When recording digital audio, if a correct digital signal is fed to the [DIGI- TAL INPUT] connector, PLL (Phased-locked loop) is active. By entering the record ready mode, the CR500 locks to the input sync signal, while the "DIGITAL" icon on the Home screen changes from flashing to lit.

If the unit does not receive a correct digital signal or does not lock to the input sync signal, "DIGITAL" icon on the Home screen remains flashing and the re- corder input is muted.

Fader start connection

By connecting the [GPI] jack (1/4" phone type) to the fader start port of a mixing console, you can play back and stop the CR500 by fader operation of an exter- nal mixing console.

USB keyboard connection

The CR500 is equipped with the [USB (KYBD ONLY)] port for USB keyboard con- nection.

By connecting a USB keyboard, you can edit a file name or a volume name (Reel Number), change setting, etc. from the keyboard (for the function assignment, see the next page). Also by connecting a USB keyboard, its keys duplicate some of CR500 key operations as shown on the table below.
