rate from among the following (the default is "25").
The unit records LTC together with audio signals. By default, "01h00m00s00f" is stamped
at the beginning (one-hour offset to ABS) and the generator records LTC jammed to this
start time code. The LTC recording mode ("TC GEN" mode) is set to "Rec Run" by de-
fault, so each time you make audio recording, continuous LTC is recorded.
You can also set the time code frame rate via the "Frame rate" menu item in the "TC
SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (

The INPUT section in the status information area shows as below de-

pending on the selection between "Analog" and "Digital".

When selecting

"Analog"

When selecting

"Digital"

The left screen example shows when “Analog” is selected
here. All channels (1 through 8) can record analog audio
signals, regardless of the “Setup digital in” setting in the
“SYS SETUP” menu.

The left screen example shows when “Digital” is selected
here. All channels (1 through 8) lock to digital input sig-
nals and can record them. In this example, the “Setup
digital in” setting in the “SYS SETUP” menu is the default
(i.e. all channels are set to “Digital”).
If a channel does not lock to the digital input signal, it
automatically switches to select analog input, while the
corresponding channel number and “Digital” flash quickly
for warning.

The left screen example shows when “Analog” is selected
here, however, the “Setup digital in” setting in the “SYS
SETUP” menu is as below.
• channels 1-2: “Analog”
• channels 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8: “Digital”
In this case, you can record analog and digital signals
together. If a channel does not lock to the digital input
signal, it automatically switches to select analog input,
while the corresponding channel number and “Digital”
flash quickly for warning.
