Section 5.2 - Monitoring
5-3
Use the flowchart (5.2.5, “Monitoring flowchart”
and tables (5.2.6, “Monitoring tables”) for refer-
ence to the monitoring modes available.
The AUTO MON key [5] is used in punch record-
ing, providing automatic switching between
source and off-tape monitoring as the punch-in
recording progresses. See 6.7, “Punch operations”
for full details.
5.2.1 ALL INPUT
The ALL INPUT key [4] allows the switching of
monitoringso that the output from all tracks on the
currently-selected unit, or all units if the Key
Mode has been enabled (see 7.2.2, “Key Mode”)
is from the input source.
5.2.2 INPUT MONITOR keys
These keys [2] are only operational when control-
ling a DA-98 unit. They are used to select off-tape
or source monitoring on a track-by-track basis.
For full details of how these keys are used, see
section 7 of the DA-98 manual.
However, these indicators will always show the
track monitoring status, regardless of the model of
DTRS unit connected to the RC-898. This can be
seen most clearly in punch-in mode (see 6.7,
“Punch operations”), when in conjunction with
the
AUTO MON key [5], these indicators auto-
matically change to show the monitoring status of
the tracks as the punch operations proceed.
Using the RC-898 REC FUNCTION keys to
change the status of any tracks while the ALL
INPUT function is on will lose the relationship
between the REC FUNCTION and INPUT
MONITOR status for individual tracks when ALL
INPUT is turned off again. Start recording or re-
set the REC FUNCTION keys to restore this
5.2.3 Shuttle monitoring
Shuttle monitoring can be enabled or dis-
abled on a per-machine basis for DA-38 and DA-
98 units connected to the RC-898.
Briefly, the shuttle monitoring, when turned on,
mutes the replay from unarmed tracks, and moni-
tors the input source of armed tracks when the
machine is in shuttle mode. A fuller explanation
of shuttle monitoring is given in section 9.1 (4) of
the DA-38 manual, and section 7.1.3 of the DA-98
manual.
1) From menu group 9, move the cursor to
StlMon and press SELECT :
2) Use the UP and DOWN keys to switch shuttle
monitoring on and off on a per-machine
basis.
5.2.4 Shuttle muting
DA-98 units incorporate a shuttle muting fea-
ture. The shuttle muting for DA-98 is enabled or
disabled from the RC-898 in the following way:
1) From menu group 2, move the cursor to Shtl
Mute , and press SELECT :
2) Use the UP and DOWN keys to change the
setting between on and off for each machine.
For a full explanation of shuttle muting, see sec-
tion 8.6.2 of the DA-98 manual.
