Model D2424LV Quick Operation Guide

Basic recording

After you finish preparing a recording media and connecting a mixer, you can start basic recording using this recorder.

Basic analog recording

The following explanation assumes that this recorder has been connected to an external mixing console (as explained in the “Connecting a Mixer” section).

Because the D2424LV can accept 24 channel analog signals, you can record up to 24 audio sources simultaneously.

Flashing

3.Hold down the [RECORD] button and press the [PLAY] button.

The flashing RECORD LED and the track indicator (a small square) light up steadily.

Stopping recording

4.Press the [STOP] button.

When the recorder section is stopped, the “Please Wait!” message appears on the display momentarily, then the current position appears. The ready track indicators flash.

Adjusting the recording level

This recorder does not have any recording level controls. You need to adjust the recording level on the device that outputs recording data. Use the group master faders on the mixer (faders that control the output level of BUSS OUTs). Set the recording tracks on this recorder to input monitoring status so that you can check the level adjustment.

2.Press the [RECORD] button once.(The RECORD LED flashes.)

The “ready” tracks enter the input monitoring status.

As you raise the group output level on the mixer, the level meter segments of the ready tracks light up. Adjust the level so that the “0” to “3” level segments of the level meter light up at the highest peak.

If the “OL” segments of the meter light up, the recording level is too high. If the recording level is too high on a digital recorder, the recording signal may distort, unlike an analog recorder. Especially, if you are recording vocal or acoustic instruments, the recording level may suddenly peak.

In this case, you may want to lower the signal peak by applying a compressor/limiter using an insertion connector.

Playing the recorded tracks

5.Press the [RECORDTRACK] select keys for the ready tracks to set the tracks in the safe status.

The flashing track indicators turn off.

6.Hold down the [STOP] button and press the [REWIND] button to locate the top of the Program

(ABS 0).

The top of the Program is immediately located in LOCATE ABS 0 mode.

7.Press the [PLAY] button.

The playback starts from the top of the Program.

Adjust the level of input signal at TAPE IN on the mixer and monitor the sound.

Repeat the procedure described above to record more tracks (mono track or multiple tracks). You can record eight different sound sources on this recorder simultaneously.

<Undo and redo recording>

If you make a mistake or you are not satisfied with the recording, you can “undo” recording. Refer to the “Undo and redo recording” section below.
