Fostex D-160 owner manual 125, Check chase lock

D-160 Owner's Manual (MIDI sync function)

Check chase lock

1. When the master unit (D-160 (#1)) is played back, MTC IN LED of the slave unit (D-160 (#2) and D- 160 (#3)) will be lit, "CHASE" in the display will immediately change from blinking to lit and chase lock will be completed.

Check that the MTC time on display are same in both master and slave units.

2. When the master starts recording, the slave will also start recording upon completing chase lock.

3. When the master is stopped, the slave will also stop as MTC from the master will be interrupted. "CHASE" in the display will change from lit to blinking.

4. During FF/REW, the master only will be in the FF/REW mode and the slaves will remain stopped but when playback/recording is started, the slaves will immediately chase lock.

<Note>

The D-160 re-chase window is fixed at "10 frame." In other words, when MTC of the master and slave drifts apart more than 10 frames, it will assume that chase lock is disengaged and the slave will match the position again with the master (re-chase operation). During the re-chase operation, sound output will be muted. If the drift is within 10 frames, the slave will recognize this and continue to travel.

Because the master supplies digital signal to slave in this system, re-chase is rarely carried out following chase lock.

*Should the D-160 fail to correctly chase lock and control, re-check the connection /cables and all settings.
