<Note>: The INPUT section in the status information area shows as below de- pending on the selection between "Analog" and "Digital".

When selecting

"Analog"

When selecting

"Digital"

When selecting

"Digital"

The left screen example shows when “Analog” is selected here. All channels (1 through 8) can record analog audio signals, regardless of the “Setup digital in” setting in the “SYS SETUP” menu.

The left screen example shows when “Digital” is selected here. All channels (1 through 8) lock to digital input sig- nals and can record them. In this example, the “Setup digital in” setting in the “SYS SETUP” menu is the default (i.e. all channels are set to “Digital”).

If a channel does not lock to the digital input signal, it automatically switches to select analog input, while the corresponding channel number and “Digital” flash quickly for warning.

The left screen example shows when “Analog” is selected here, however, the “Setup digital in” setting in the “SYS SETUP” menu is as below.

•channels 1-2: “Analog”

•channels 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8: “Digital”

In this case, you can record analog and digital signals together. If a channel does not lock to the digital input signal, it automatically switches to select analog input, while the corresponding channel number and “Digital” flash quickly for warning.

TC frame rate selection (" FRAME " of the status information area)

You can select the frame rate of LTC recorded together with audio (or time code re- corded when the optional TC/SYNC card is installed).

By selecting " FRAME " and pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, you can select the desired frame rate from among the following (the default is "25").

The unit records LTC together with audio signals. By default, "01h00m00s00f" is stamped at the beginning (one-hour offset to ABS) and the generator records LTC jammed to this start time code. The LTC recording mode ("TC GEN" mode) is set to "Rec Run" by de- fault, so each time you make audio recording, continuous LTC is recorded.

You can also set the time code frame rate via the "Frame rate" menu item in the "TC SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 127 for details). You also can edit the LTC start time via the "Default LTC Start" menu item in the "TC SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 131 for details).
