1) Locate the slave tape with the backing music to
the start of the music.
The shuttle mode is useful here (see 8.6, “Shuttle
operations”).

2) Rewind the master to a little before you want
the music to enter.
3) Make sure the slave is ready to accept an “on-
the-fly” offset entry as described above.
4) Start playing the master DA-98.
5) When the music entry point is reached, press
the
UP
or
DOWN
key
to capture the offset point.
6) Stop the master, and set the slave into
CHASE
7) Rewind the master to a little before the music
entry and start playing.
The slave machine should now follow the transport
movements of the master, with the appropriate off-
set, so that the music enters at the right point.

9.4 Digital dubbing
When you copy tapes between DTRS units in the
digital domain, there is no loss of quality. A
“worktape” or copy is therefore indistinguishable
from the original. Additionally, the DA-98 uses
low-cost media (Hi8 video cassettes).

You may want to exploit these features of the
DTRS system to make archive copies, and “safety
copies” of important material (see 1.5, “Recom-
mended tapes” for our suggestions on tape use).

Remember to terminate the slave unit.
2) Connect the

(source) to the
DIGITAL I/O

Use only the approved cables (PW-88D or PW-
88DL) to connect the DTRS units. Use of any
other cables can cause damage to the units and will
invalidate the warranties.
