Referencing to an External Clock Source

The remote control unit can be operated referenced to an external digital clock.

1Connect the word clock from an external source to the WORD SYNC IN terminal on the rear panel of the CD-601MKII.

2Set menu No. 04 (“CLOCK”) to “EXT”.

“EXT CLK” and the sampling frequency (“44.1k” or “48k”) are lit on the clock display area of the display area.

The default setting is “INT” (referenced to internal clock).

Failsafe Function

The failsafe function is a safety function for preventing playback from discontinuation when an operation key is touched inadvertently during a final take.

In the default setting, the failsafe function is ON, and operation of keys other than STOP, PLAY MODE and DISPLAY MODE is not accepted during online playback. Also, in the online READY mode, operation of search- related keys such as the TRACK key and numeric keys and the MENU key is not accepted.

[NOTE]

•Even when the failsafe function is ON, entry by the numeric keys is accepted in the direct cue point locate mode and flash start mode.

When the failsafe function is set to OFF at menu item No.

10(“F_SAFE”), all keys (excluding SEARCH dial, FLASH READY key and MEMO key in the online playback mode) are functional.

The failsafe function ON/OFF setting is valid on both the CD-601MKII and the RC-601MKII.
