RC-D24—Owner’s Manual
Welcome to the RC-D24
Thank you for choosing the Yamaha RC-D24 Remote Controller/Locator. The RC-D24
is for exclusive use with the Yamaha D24 Digital Multitrack Recorder.
About this Owner’s Manual
Since most of the RC-D24 functions operate the same as on the D24, this Owner’s Man-
ual does not contain detailed explanations for each function. Refer to the D24 Owner’s
Manual for detailed information.
RC-D24 Operating Notes
The RC-D24 draws its power from the connected D24 and can be turned on or off
either before or after the D24.
If the RC-D24 is off, but the connescted D24 is on for normal poeration, there’s a pos-
sibility that noise from the remote cable may cause the D24 to malfunction. To prevent
this, disconnect the RC-D24 from the D24, or turn on the RC-D24.
In a multiple-unit system, the RC-D24 can control the entire system through Chase
mode or individual D24s. See “Selecting D24s in Multiple-Unit Systems” on page 8 for
more information.
Unlike the D24, which has two lines in the message area of the display, the RC-D24 dis-
play has just one line, which more or less corresponds to the 2nd line of the D24 display.
On the RC-D24, tracks are selected for recording using the keypad number buttons. See
“Selecting Tracks for Recording” on page 9 for more information.
The RC-D24 does not have a JOG/DATA dial, so although it can be used for auto punch
in/out recording, the Audition Take and Fix Take functions cannot be controlled
remotely. Use the D24 controls when you want to use these functions.
