It therefore makes sense to set the machine IDs of all DA-88s in the chain first, immediately after connections have been made with the power off, and then turn on power to all units before setting the machine IDs of all DA-98s and DA-38s in the chain.

NOTE

When you set the machine IDs, you can set the ID of

2)Use the UP and DOWN keys to select a value from 1to 16.

NOTE

If you try to set the ID to a value other than 1 when the synchronization cable is not connected, the display will show an error message. Press ESCAPE to remove the message and continue.

9.2.3 Master/slave settings (CHASE mode)

Each unit with an ID greater than 1 is regarded as a slave unit.

9-2 – 1.00 – 06/97

IfTCthe bottom line does not show ABS(if it shows ), press the UP or DOWN key so that ABSis

displayed.

2)On each slave unit, press the CHASE switch [16].

The CHASE indicator will start flashing.

3)Press any of the transport controls on the master unit (machine ID 1). The slave unit(s) will synchronize and follow the transport commands of the master.

When a slave unit is locked to the master unit, its CHASE indicator will light steadily.

4)To turn off chase mode on a slave unit, press the CHASE switch or the STOP key [34] so that the CHASE indicator goes off.

9.3 Machine offset

It is sometimes necessary to offset a unit in the chain relative to the master unit. This offset can be set to frame accuracy to a maximum value of

±02:00:00:00.
