Getting Started

Writing start IDs automatically during recording

∙When ”AUTO“ appears in the display during recording, the automatic writing of start IDs takes place according to the input connector used and the signal format, as shown in the table below.

∙The condition for the automatic writing of start IDs differs according to the category code in the digital signal, such as an audio input level signal, a DAT start ID code, or a Q-code from a CD track (see pages 24 and 25 ).

¨: automatic writing possible

×: automatic writing prohibited

a)If the input level remains under the level set in the ”L-SY TH” menu longer than the time set in the ”L-SY BK” menu (see page 24), the deck writes a start ID when the input level rises above that level.

b)DAT skip IDs are automatically written in the same way.

c)Only when connected to the PCM-2600, PCM-2800, PCM- R500 or PCM-R700. When the connected decks consist of

aPCM-R500 or PCM-R700, select “on” in the “AES S-ID” menu of the playback deck.

d)Only when connected to the PCM-2300, PCM-2700, or PCM-2700A.

e)Some CD players do not output track information (Q- code) in the digital signal.

Digital signal lock range

∙The lock range of a digital signal (signal reception range) is about ±0.1% for a sampling frequency of 48

kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 32 kHz. Variable pitch signals are not receivable.

∙When the digital input sampling frequency information does not match the actual sampling frequency, it is possible to record that signal if you change the REC MODE switch on the front panel to the actual sampling frequency of the signal.
