SECTION 4: RECORDING

(3) Footswitch-controlled Recording

If you are recording alone and are too busy playing an

instrument to push the switches, the use of the optional

remote footswitch (RC-30P) is really handy.

This method of recording is recommended especially for

punching in and out of record. The punch-in/out proce­

dure is explained later, under the corresponding heading.

4-2. Recording Digital Input

Plug the RC-30P footswitch into the REMOTE

PUNCH-IN/OUT jack on the rear of the DA-38. For

other connections, refer to a hookup example shown in

Section 1.

• Perform steps 1 through 5 under the paragraph, Using

RECORD and PLAY.

Then, proceed as follows :

Y Press the footswitch and the tape will start playing.

2

To start recording, press the footswitch once more.

• If the tape is write-protected, the DA-38 does not

go into Record mode, and remains in Play mode.

3

To stop recording, press STOP.

^ To insure against accidental erasure, press the REC

FUNCTION switches off.

Suggestion

: The DA-38 remembers both the record

start point and the end point; and you can program the

unit to drop into and out of record at those points. For

details, see page 4 - 7 , paragraph (4).

The procedure is similar to that for Recording Analog

Input, with these exceptions:

• Press the DIGITAL IN switch. The indicator DIGITAL

IN will light on the display.

• In the most cases, the DA-38 is referenced to the same

clock as the source digital unit, so:

o Plug the clock from the source unit into the WORD

SYNC IN jack on the rear of the DA-38.

o Press the WORD IN switch. The indicator WORD

IN will light on the display to show that the DA-38 is

slaved to the external elock.

• When recording from the digital input, there is no need

of adjusting the recording level.

IMPORTANT

If either of two sampling rate indicators blinks on

the display, it indicates that a different sampling

rate than the one present on the tape is coming in.

Then, re-format the tape with the correct sampling

rate, or use another tape.

• An 'f. J to ”

warning appears on the display if your

digital

source

(DA-38/DA-88)

or

digital

interface

unit (IF-88AE/IF-88SD) is not connected to the DA-

38 by using the optional PW-88D cable.
