Analog audio connection

The DV824 provides eight balanced XLR-3-31-type [ANALOG INPUT] connectors which accept +4 dBu analog audio signals.

The number of recording tracks can be set using the "Record Tracks" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" menu in the MENU mode (see pages 48 and 117 respectively). The available options are 1 (mono), 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 (the default is "8").

The DV824 also provides eight balanced XLR-3-32-type [ANALOG OUTPUT] connectors which output +4 dBu analog audio signals.

Digital audio connection

The DV824 accepts digital signals conformed to IEC 60958 (AES/EBU) or IEC 60958 (S/P DIF) format (the format of the digital source is automatically detected). The digital connection is made via the D-sub 25-pin DIGITAL I/O connector.

To record a digital audio source, connect a digital source to the [DIGITAL I/O] connector, and set the "Select Input" and "Setup digital in" menu items of the "SYS SETUP" menu in the MENU mode appropriately.

"Select Input" must be set to "Digital" (the default is "Analog"), while "Setup digital in" should be set appropriately depending on the situation (see pages 45 and 119 respectively). The latter can be set in pair channels and the default settings of four pairs are all "Digital".

When the DV824 receives a digital source from the selected channels, PLL (Phased-locked loop) activates and locks to the input sync signal.

The DV824 also outputs digital signals conformed to IEC 60958 (AES/EBU) or IEC 60958 (S/P DIF) format. The format of the digital output signal can be selected using the "Digital out" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" menu in the MENU mode (the default is "ABS/EBU"). (See page 120 for details.)
