At this menu you can select a TDIF input bit length

among three options : 16, 20, and 24, as discussed

later in this section of the manual, Factory preset is

" I S " .

This is for switching the dithering function on or off,

as discussed in Section 4. Factory preset is "o f F ",

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

or the

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,

(1) Accessing the Oscillator Menu

ing to show that all the double function keys are

switched to offer their lower blue-labelled functions.

2 Press MENU as many times as necessary to access

the oscillator menu which looks like

"DSC.

(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

the ▼ key to change the "o

" display to " a F F "

when you are at the "£? 5 L " menu.
