Model D2424 Reference Manual (Changing the Initial Settings <SETUP mode>)

Setting the Slave type (“Slave Type ?” menu)

The “Setting the Slave type” menu enables you to setup how recorder should function after chase lock, when recorder is set to sync externally in “slave mode ON” by the previously mentioned “Setting the slave mode.”

• Initial setting:	[Vari]
• Option:	[Vari], [Free]
	[Vari]: The recorder synchronizes only to external MTC.
	[Free]: The recorder locks to MTC, then synchronizes to the internal clock.

*You can set the parameter for each Program individually.

*The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the song data.

*The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the recorder.

*The Program is automatically checked before the operation.

*The sampling rate is automatically checked before the operation.

Setting the Slave type

1.While the recorder is stopped, press the [SETUP] key to enter SETUP mode.

2.Turn the [JOG] dial to select “Slave Type ?” (“?” flashes.), then press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The current Slave type appears on the display. Pressing the [EXECUTE/YES] key turns off the flashing “?” character, and the Slave type indicator flashes. With the initial setting, “Vari” flashes as shown below.

3.Use the [JOG] dial to select the desired Slave type.

Rotating the [JOG] dial clockwise and counter-clockwise will cause the “Vari” and “Free” indicators to flash in sequence.

<Notes>

•You need to input MTC from an external device to the recorder with any Slave type.

•The recorder re-chase window is fixed to ten frames. That is, if an offset between the master device and slave device exceeds ten frames, the recorder interprets that as out of sync, and tries to chase and lock to MTC sent from the master device. (This operation is called “re-chasing.”) During the re-chase operation, audio output is muted. If the slave machine slips with MTC from the master device by less than ten frames, the slave machine continues running while recognizing the slippage.

•When you set the Slave type, the Vari Pitch function is automatically disabled. (The “VARI PITCH” indicator turns off.)

4.Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The selected Slave type is stored, and “?” flashes.

To cancel the operation, or to restore the setting obtained prior to the [EXECUTE/YES] key press, press the [STOP] button or the [EXIT/NO] key. Each time you press one of these keys, the recorder returns to the previous hierarchy level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP mode and displays the previous Time Base.

Setting the Record Protect function (“Rec Protect ?” menu)

The recorder features the Record Protect function, which is similar to the function of record-protect tabs on cassette tapes. The “Setting the Record Protect function” menu allows you to turn the Record Protect function on and off.

When this function is turned on, you cannot record, paste, or erase data. Use this function to protect your precious data from being erased accidentally.

• Initial setting:	[Off]
• Option:	[Off] or [On]

*You can turn the function on and off for each Program individually.

*The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the song data.

*The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the recorder.

*The Program is automatically checked before the operation.
