Timer start
The front panel switch beside the transport keys
allows the DV-RA1000 to start playback of the
loaded disc automatically when power is supplied. Set the switch to the PLAY position to start playback,
either from the start of the disc, or from the last posi-
tion if resume playback is selected (see “Resume
playback” on page 19).
Selecting the input source
The input source for recording can be selected as
described here:
1 Press the MENU key, and use the wheel to
select SYSTEM SETUP . Press ENTER .
2 Use the wheel to select INPUT SELECT . Press
ENTER .
3 Use the wheel to select from the following
screen:
4 First, choose between ANALOG and DIGITAL on
the INPUT parameter.
If you choose the analog option, remember
that both the balanced XLR inputs and the
unbalanced RCA inputs are active together,
but you should only use one set.
5 If you are recording to CD, or to a single- or
dual-sampling frequency PCM DVD, select
the DIO parameter (digital I/O) as either AES/
EBU or COAXIAL (S/PDIF). The appropriate digi-
tal terminals will also be used for output of the
digital signal.
If you are recording to a quad-frequency
DVD, this option is not available, and
AES/EBU
is the only option available.
If you are recording to a DSD DVD, the signals
will always be input and output through the
BNC connectors. The
DIO parameter here
chooses the format in which the audio is sent
and received:
DSD-RAW , which is the raw DSD
bit stream, or SDIF-3 (no other options are
available). Consult the documentation for
your other equipment to find out what format
is most suitable for your setup.
6 Finally, in the case of double-frequency DVD
with
AES/EBU selected as the input/output con-
nector, there is an option to select double-wire
or double-speed as the I/O format (
MODE ).
The COAXIAL option allows double-speed mode
only, and quad-frequency is double-speed +
double-wire mode, and cannot be changed.
7 Press ENTER to confirm your settings and
return to the SYSTEM SETUP menu.
The selected input is shown on the home
display.
