6 − DVD±RW/HD playback & recording
TASCAM DV-RA1000HD
Once a project has been set up, audio files can be
recorded at the sampling frequency and word length
specified by the project.
1 Press the RECORD key. While the disc and drive
are being “lined up” for recording, the READY
indicator flashes.
2 When the READY indicator is lit, press PLAY to
start recording.
While recording, the display shows either the
elapsed time of the track, or the remaining time
on the disc (change this with the
DISPLAY key).
Note that if the recording mode is set to Over-
write, the elapsed time of the overwritten track is
shown.
TIP
In the same way as when the DV-RA1000HD is
recording CDs, pressing
RECORD while recording
will create a track division. Also, to create several
tracks from one recording (for example, when mak-
ing a live recording), you can use the file divide
function. (See “Dividing files” on page .)
Note that tracks divided in this way cannot be less
than four seconds in length. Also note that repeated
track divisions creating many short tracks (of five
seconds or so) may cause the unit to stop record-
ing. We recommend that you use manual track divi-
sion to create tracks of about 0 seconds in dura-
tion.
To mute recording (that is, recording silent part),
press and hold the
MUTE key. Release the MUTE key
to unmute recording.
While recording is muted, the
MUTE key indicator
lights up.
4 Press STOP to finish recording.
Recording files to disc
In normal recording mode, stopping and restarting a
recording will create a new track.
On the other hand, in overwrite mode, restarting a
recording will overwrite data from the current position
in the same track. For example, if you stop then resume
recording, a new track will not be added to the disc.
Instead, recording will continue from the point at which
you previously stopped on the same track. If the play-
back position is located in the middle of the current file
and you start recording in overwrite mode, new data
will be written over the existing data from the point at
which you started recording, in much the same way as
an analog tape recorder.
NOTE
Overwriting mode is available only for recording in
PCM mode on a DVD±RW disc or in the HD.
To select a recording mode, use the RMODE switch on the
rec page of the virtual front panel, or the RECMODE
key on the RC-RA1000 remote control unit.
Normal mode
“
N
” appears above the RMODE switch on the rec page of
the virtual front panel.
Overwriting mode
“
O
” appears above the RMODE switch on the rec page of
the virtual front panel.
NOTE
To view the current recording mode, open the rec
page of the virtual front panel. The mode setting is
not displayed on the home screen.
Recording mode
1 Select the DISC sub-menu from the main menu.
2 Highlight the FORMAT sub-menu and press ENTER .
3 Enter a name and sampling frequency for the
first project to be created on the newly-formatted
disc. (See “Using a new DVD±RW disc” on page
41).
4 Press ENTER to start the formatting process.
This will take a few minutes, and the unit is not
usable while the format takes place.
NOTE
You cannot use DVD±RW discs which have been
formatted on a computer for recording with the
DV-RA1000HD.
