3.3 Playing Pre-Recorded Disks
3.3.1 Installation and Settings
• Check that the D424 is either set to internal reference, or the correspond-
ing external reference clock has to be provided. With an external clock, the
DIG indication in the bottom line of the display must not flash:
441, 16, INT, DIG, ST.
• Be sure that the INP switches are not activated.
• Insert a disk and wait until the sequence data have been loaded from disk.
3.3.2 Position
Take and index numbers as well as the current position are shown in the
display. The position indication may be adapted with the following keys:
[TIME] switches between absolute time (a: sequence time, starting with 0), relative
time (r: take time, time within take) or timecode position (t). If no time-
code was recorded, the timecode display is identical with the absolute time
indication, the “t” mark is flashing.
[TAKE] switches between take display, or take and index display.
3.3.3 PLAY and STOP
Start playing with [PLAY] , stop at the current position with [STOP] .
3.3.4 Skip to Take and Index Markers
With [PREV] and [NEXT] , the D424 will locate or continue playing at
the next or previous marker. Depending on the selected TAKE mode, only
take markers or take and index markers are considered.
Example: When playing take 5 and pressing [NEXT] twice, the D424 will continue
playing at the beginning of take 7.
Use the LOCATE function to access markers directly.
3.3.5 CUE and SHUTTLE
With [CUE] , either the CUE or SHUTTLE mode is selected. Subsequent
keystrokes toggle between the two modes.
In CUE mode, the D424 follows the control wheel position with a speed
up to 2 times nominal speed. In SHUTTLE mode, the D424 moves with a
constant speed set with the control wheel.
