Tutorial T–2
T2 Setup
1. Power up your units in the following order: DA-38,
your DAT machine, the TM-D4000, power amp/apeakers.
2. Press the SHIFT key so that the indicator lights and then
press the MIDI/MC key until the screen at right appears.
3. Using the cursor keys move the cursor to the on-screen
button AUTO-DETECT and press ENTER.
4. The DA-38 should be detected and listed in the
Machine Control List on this screen together with the
appropriate unit ID. Chase mode should be OFF.
5. Move the cursor up to the right of the line representing
the DA-38 in the Machine Control List and press ENTER
twice to engage Transport Control and Track Arming from
the mixer. When you make this selection, the TM-D4000 also sends a command to the DA-38 to make the
DIGITAL In setting.
You may also want to set a check mark in the SCR box providing additional controls for the DA-38 from
the mixer, but this step is not essential.
6. Press the SHIFT key so that its indicator is unlit, then
press DIGITAL I/O until the screen at right appears.
7. Using the cursor keys move the cursor to the square
representing SLOT1 and press ENTER.
A box will appear asking you to confirm your selection
of the DA-38 connected to Slot #1 as the word clock master,
press ENTER to confirm. On the far left angled surface
of the mixer, under CLOCK the light indicating SLOT
should be lit.
8. Press OPTION until the screen at left appears.
9. Use the JOG DIAL (or the Cursor Keys) to move
the cursor to MDM ABS Absolute Time and press ENTER.
This will display ABS time from the DA-38 on the
TM-D4000's time counter.
10. Insert a formatted tape into the DA-38 and test the
transport controls. The MDM LOCK indicator above
the time counter should light when you press PLAY on
the TM-D4000's transport control, indicating the
DTRS unit is communicating successfully with the mixer.
