DIGITAL DUBBING BETWEEN DA-38s
This function permits digital copying of tapes for the purpose of either backup or
distribution. For Digital Dubbing, the Master DA-38 is always the Source unit while the
Slave DA-38 is the Destination unit.
Connections - perform the following two steps with the power to both units OFF.
1) Using a PW-88S sync cable, connect the Master DA-38 SYNC OUT port to the Slave
DA-38 SYNC IN port.
2) Using either a PW-88D or PW-88DL dubbing cable, connect the Master DA-38
TDIF-1 port to the Slave
DA-38 TDIF-1 port.
With these connections made, perform the following:
1) Switch on power to the Slave DA-38 and set its ID number to “2” (see ID SELECT
for procedure).
2) Switch on power to the Master DA-38.
3) Insert the source tape into the Master DA-38 and a pre-formatted target tape into the
Slave DA-38.
4) Verify that all REC FUNCTION LEDs are turned off on the Master DA-38.
5) Engage all 8 REC FUNCTION LEDs on the Slave DA-38 - their associated LEDs
will blink.
6) Press CHASE on the Slave DA-38 - its associated LED will blink.
7) Press DIGITAL IN on the Slave DA-38 - the DIGITAL IN indicator will light solid.
8) To begin dubbing, press PLAY and REC on the Master DA-38.
DIGITAL TRACK COPY
This function facilitates copying program material from one track to another in the
digital domain. Using this function in tandem with Punch In/Out recording, you can
assemble composite recordings from multiple tracks.
1) Press SHIFT - its LED blinks.
2) Press the TRK COPY key - the display will read “tr.cP. oFF”
3) Press the
▲
key to turn the function ON.
4) Press the REC FUNCTION switch that corresponds to the desired Destination track
- its LED will blink.
5) Press the
▲
key successively until the far right area of the display identifies the
Source track by number - this is represented by “t1” through “t8” (Example: “tr.cP. 6
t2” - track 6 is the Destination, track 2 is the Source).
6) Press PLAY and REC - the DA-38 will now digitally copy the selected Source
material. If only a specific segment of the source material is desired, punch IN and
OUT of the track as needed.
