DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824

Other settings

There are some settings besides those made in the quick setup mode.

Reference level setting

The reference level is set to "-20dB" by default. You can change to set this level to "-18dB" or "-12dB" via the "Ref.level" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 122 for details).

In the level meter section, the associated level indicator with the selected level is lit.

Recording level setting

The DV824 does not provide a function for adjusting the recording level. When recording analog audio signals, you should adjust the recording level by controlling the source output level.

You can check the input level while the [ALL INPUT] indicator is lit.

Before starting recording, you should control the source output level while checking the level meter and monitoring the source via the headphones.

<Note>: The "ALL INPUT" mode is off by default. However, by setting the "Auto

EEmode" in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode to "On", the "ALL INPUT" mode is always active except during playback (see page 121 for details).

Digital input channel selection

When recording digital audio signals by setting "INPUT" to "Digital" in the quick setup mode, you can select digital recording channels via the "Setup Digital in" menu item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 119 for details). By default, all channels are set to "Digital" in this menu item. Therefore, unless you change the "Setup Digital in" setting, you can record digital sources for all channels simply by setting "INPUT" to "Digital".

<Note>: The "Setup Digital in" menu item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode selects the input channel sources between digital and analog for four chan- nel pairs (channels 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6). For example, if you change the setting for channels 1-2 to "Analog" , you can record analog sources for channels 1 and 2, while record digital sources for channels 3 through 8.

<Note>: When recording digital sources, the FS must match between the DV824 and the external device.
