At this menu you can see the rate at which an error
occurs in the digital data. The function is factory
preset to "o F F See Section 10 for an explanation.
^ Press SHIFT and the associated LED will turn off, the
display being switched back to show the ABS time.
• Obviously, to switch the oscillator off, change the
"o n " display back to " o F F " in step 3 above by
pressing either the
A
or the
T
key.
NOTES
•
The built-in oscillator cannot be switched on if the
track copy function is turned on at the " t r . c P . "
menu.
•
When the built-in osciilator is switched on, the DA-
38 overrides whatever signal is plugged into the
input.
8-2. Using the Built-in Oscillator
The DA-38 has a digital tone oscillator that produces a
440 Hz, sine wave tone,

(2) To Monitor the Sine Wave Tone
CAUTION
Reduce the monitor level to prevent damaging your
ears.
• The built-in oscillator must be switched on at the
"

" menu.
Y Press the REC FUNCTION switches that correspond
to the channels you want to monitor. The associated
LED will start blinking and the sine wave tone from
the oscillator is sent out of the outputs.
• When the ALL INPUT key is pressed on, the sine
wave tone from the oscillator is sent out of all the
eight outputs.
• To switch the oscillator off, press either the
A
or
the ▼ key to change the "o
