Section 9 : Using more than one DA-302

9-2. Duplicating

One source can be recorded on more than one deck at the same time.

1 Connect DA-302s as shown in the figure in "9.1 Continuous recording with more than one DA-302".

áIn this case, the connection marked with ** is not necessary.

2 Set the first DA-302 to Master Deck and the other DA- 302s to Slave Deck. Set decks to master/slave deck with "Control" in the menu. (œp.28)

3 For all connected DA-302s, perform procedures 2 to 3 in "5.3 Dual recording".

4 Press the REW key on Deck 1 of the master deck to rewind the tapes in all decks to the beginning.

5 When the Record mode is engaged on Deck 1 on the master deck, all decks automatically enter the Record mode.

6 To stop recording, press the STOP key on Deck 1 of the master deck.

ÉIf the COMMON MODE switch is set to "1&2", when the STOP key, PLAY key, PAUSE key, RECORD key, F FWD key, REW key or REC MUTE key on Deck 1 or Deck 2 of the master deck is pressed, the command is output to all slave decks.

9-3. Continuous playback with more than one DA-302

Continuous playback on more than one DA-302 is possi- ble beginning with the first deck, then the second deck, and so on.

1 Connect DA-302s as shown in the figure in "9.1 Continuous recording with more than one DA-302".

2 Set the first DA-302 to Master Deck and the other DA- 302s to Slave Deck. Set decks to master/slave deck with "Control" in the menu. (œP.28)

3 For all connected DA-302s, perform procedures 1 to 2 in the "6.2 Continuous playback".

4 Press the REW key on Deck 1 in the master deck to rewind the tapes in Deck 1 in the master deck and the slave decks to the beginning.

áOnly the REW key on Deck 1 of the master deck controls the slave decks.

5 Press the REW key on Deck 2 in the master deck to rewind the tape in Deck 2 in the master deck to the beginning.

6 Press the PLAY key on Deck 1 of the master deck to start playback.

When Deck 1 reaches the time set with "Seqtime", Deck 2 starts playback.

When Deck 2 reaches the time set with ''Seqtime'', Deck 1 in the second deck receives the command from the EXT CONTROL IN connector and starts playback. This process continues from deck to deck, enabling continuous playback.

áThis procedure is almost identical to that in "9.1 Continuous recording with more than one DA-302". (The difference being that one is for playback and the other is for recording.) For more details on operation, refer to the example in "9.1 Continuous recording with more than one DA-302".

7 To end the operation in the middle, press the STOP key of the deck which is playing back.

ÉEach deck which starts playback rewinds the tape automatically to the beginning either 3 minutes after the time set with "Seqtime" or when the tape end is reached.
