Shut down
In order to shut down the DV-RA1000 safely with a
disc loaded, and writing all the UDFMI data safely to
disc (you cannot do this while playing back or rec-
cording a disc):
1 With a disc loaded, press and hold the OPEN/
CLOSE ( SHUT DOWN ) key for at least a sec-
ond.
2 A popup menu appears. Press ENTER to write
the UDFMI, or CANCEL to return (if you
pressed the OPEN/CLOSE key accidentally for
a long time, for example).
3 The DISC indicator flashes while the UDFMI
is being written. All front panel controls are
disabled. When it lights steadily, a popup mes-
sage appears telling you that you can turn off
the DV-RA1000 using the
POWER switch.
Recording times and track lengths
The total time recordable on a DVD+RW single-
layer disc depends on the sampling frequency.
In addition, the maximum file size is fixed at 2GB.
This means that the maximum recording time per
track also varies according to the sampling fre-
quency.
All audio files must be at least four seconds in length.
Starting a new disc
When you insert a new DVD+RW disc into the tray
and close it, the screen immediately shows the new
project screen:
1 Give the project a name. Press the F4 key to
start editing the name.
Use the naming functions described in “Nam-
ing files, projects, marks, etc.” on page 14.
Press
ENTER when done.
TIP
A PS/2 keyboard connected to the DV-RA1000 makes
titling projects and files much easier. We strongly sug-
gest that you use this facility.
2 Move to the Mode field. Use the wheel to select
the sampling frequency. Alternatively, select
DSD as the format (the DSD indicator by the
disc tray will light when a DSD project is in
use, otherwise the
PCM indicator lights).
3 When you press ENTER to confirm the sam-
pling frequency, the DV-RA1000 starts to cre-
ate the project and to perform a background
format of the disc.
While the background format is taking place,
various functions, such as ejecting the disc and
shutting down the unit are possible.
