6 • Operation - Duplication
Recording may be carried out only in the TOC AFTER mode. Operation is the
same as for single-unit operation.
If recording is to be carried out in multi-recorder mode, then the discs in all the
recorder units should contain identical information. Even if not all recorders are
being used to record, all disc trays must be closed.
Monitoring of the INPUT can be done only from the first recorder in the chain.
NOTE that though the recorders are synchronized through the controller, on
playback, the start may be de-synchronized by up to about 40 frames (approx­
imately 0.5 seconds). This is due to the PAUSE=>PLAY operation. If the contents
of several identical discs are monitored simultaneously through several chan­
nels of a mixing console, for example, the playback will not be synchronized.
Ftowever, the contents of the discs are identical.
Multi-recorder playing can be carried out only if the same type of disc (length)
should be inserted in all the recorder units being used.
6.5 Duplication
It is possible to duplicate a whole disc onto up to six other discs simultaneously.
The connections and drive ID settings for N recorders are shown below:
Duplication of commercial CDs is riQi possible.
The DIGITAL AES/EBU (OUT) or the ANALOG OUT of the unit whose DRIVE
ID is set to "N" should be connected to the DIGITAL AES/EBU (IN) or ANALOG
IN of unit "0", depending on whether digital or analog duplication is to be per­
formed. SDIF-II duplication cannot be performed. The appropriate switches
should be set on the rear panel of the controller (INPUT SELECT switches).
If analog disc duplication is to be performed, the EMPF4ASIS flag cannot be du­
plicated.
The source disc should be placed in the tray of unit "N", and blank discs should
be placed in the trays of units "0" through "N-1". If not all the available units
are being used for duplication, blank discs should be placed in the trays of as
many units as are being used for duplication, starting at" 0" and working up­
wards.
The DISC indicators on all recorder units except recorder N (the source record­
er) will light. The ERROR indicator on recorder N will light. This does not indi­
cate an error. When the ERROR light on recorder N comes on, press the STDBY
key on the controller. The ERROR indicator on unit N will go out, and the DISC
