SECTION 4 : RECOROING (3) Footswitch-controlled Recording
If you are recording alone and are too busy playing an
instrument to push the switches, the use of the optional remote footswitch (RC-30P) is really handy,
This method of recording is recommended especially for
punching in and out of record. The punch-in/out proce- dare is explained later, under the corresponding heading.
l Plug the RC-30P footswitch into the REMOTE PUNCH-IN/OUT jack on the rear of the DA-38. For
other connections, refer to a hookup example shown in
Section 1.
l Perform steps I through 5 under the paragraph, Using
RECORD and PLAY.
Then, proceed as follows :
1 Press the footswitch and the tape will start playing.
2 To start recording, press the footswitch once more.
l If the tape is write-protected, the DA-38 does not
go into Record mode, and remains in Play mode.
3 To stop recording, press STOP.
4 To insure against accidental erasure, press the REC
FUNCTION switches off.
Suggestion : The DA-38 remembers both tk record
start point and the end point ; and YOU CCVI pqq-am the
unit to drop into and out of record at those points. For
&tails, set? page 4 - 7, paragraph (4).
4-2. Recording Oigilal Input The procedure is similar to that for Recording Analog Input, with these exceptions :
l Press the DIGITAL IN switch. The indicator DIGITAL
IN will light on the display.
0 In the most cases, the DA-38 is referenced to the same
clock As the sour&digital unit, so :
0 Plug the clock from the source unit into the WORD
SYNC IN jack on the rear of the DA-38.
0 Press the WORD IN switch, The indicator WORD
IN will light on the display to show that the DA-38 is
slaved to the external clock.
0 When recording from the digital input, there is no need
of adjusting the recording level,
IMPORTANT
l If either of two sampling rate indicators blinks on
the display, it indicates that a different sampling
rate than the one present on the tape is coming in.
Then, w-format the tape with the correct sampling
rate* or use another tape.
l An ‘?. d to ” warning appears on the display if your
digita/ source (DA-38/DA+?8) or digita/ interface
unit (/F-&?&?AE/fF-88SD) is not corrected to the DA-
38 by using the optional FWL38D cable.
