Equipment interconnections

1.From the recorder (#1) to the recorder (#2), connect WORD OUT to WORD IN and MIDI OUT to MIDI IN. 2.From the recorder (#1) to the recorder (#3), connect WORD OUT to WORD IN.

3.From the recorder (#2) to the recorder (#3), connect MIDI THRU (Note!!!) to MIDI IN.

<Notes>

*In order to slave drive the recorder with each other, the best setting is to supply word clock signals together with MTC from the master.

*As shown in the above schematic, at input or the Word Clock from the master to the second slave, WORD OUT from the master must always be branched to the second slave. Do not connect the first slave WORD OUT to the second slave WORD IN .

Setup of the recorder (#1): <Master>

1.Because MTC, which is the reference for sync, is output from the recorder (#1), set the “MIDI sync signal output setting” of the SETUP mode to “MTC.”

Refer to page “113”, SETUP mode “MIDI sync signal output setting” for operating procedure and details.

2. A random frame rate to be used is set by the SETUP mode “MTC Frame rate setting.”

Refer to page “113”, SETUP mode “MTC Frame rate setting” for operating procedure and details.
