While the "Select Input" menu item is set to "Digital", if the unit receives a

correct digital input signal and locks to it, "DIGITAL" of " " is lit. Just below the "DISC-R" field, the channel status information of the digital signal currently received is shown. If the unit does not receive a correct digital input signal or does not lock to the digital input signal, "DIGITAL" flashes and the input audio signal is muted. In such a case, check the digital output setting of the source device and connection between the source device and the [DIGI- TAL INPUT] connector of the CR500.

<Note>: By default, the file name shown on the input monitor screen for a BWF formatted disc is "<Scene Name> + <Take Number>" (with ".wav", the file ex- tension). Using the "Default File Name" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" menu in the MENU mode, you can select the file name mode from among "<Scene Name>

+<Take Number>" (default), "<Reel Number> + <Take Number>" and "<Date>" (see page 75). You can also edit the file name using the "Edit File Name" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" menu in the MENU mode (see page 89).

<Note>: Normally, no file name is indicated on the input monitor screen for a CD-DA formatted disc. However, if any file name is written by CD-TEXT, it is indicated. Note that you cannot edit the file name of an audio track on the CD- DA formatted disc.

•Feed an analog audio source and adjust the input levels appropriately using the [INPUT LEVEL] control (when feeding a digital audio source, you can only view the levels but cannot control it).

When the analog audio signals are fed, turning the [INPUT LEVEL] control clockwise raises the input level. Adjust the levels appropriately by checking the meter indication and monitoring via headphones.

*When the "Select Input" menu item is set to "Digital", you do not need to adjust the input levels.

<Note>: You should set the input levels appropriately so that the indicators near to "0"dB sometimes light but the "OL" indicators do not light.

The reference level is set to "-12dBFS" by default. On the level meter scale, "12" (the -12dB point from the 24-bit full-scale level) is shown in red as the refer- ence marker. You can change to set this level to "-20dB" via the "Ref.level" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 78 for details).
