In the screen above, analog inputs 1 through 8 are
routed to destination tracks 1 through 8 (shown on
the bottom line of the display)on a “one-to-one”
basis.

3) To change the routing of the inputs, use the

and

DOWN

keys to select the different inputs

or tape tracks to be used as recording sources.

The screen below shows tracks 1 through 4 accept-
ing digital inputs 1 through 4, while the signals
previously recorded on these tracks are copied to
tracks 5 through 8.

7.1.3 Rec Mute function

The rec mute function allows you to prevent

any input signals from reaching armed tracks,
which would otherwise be recording. This may be
used to record periods of silence, etc. This muting
is available on a track-by-track basis.

1) From menu group 1, move the cursor to

Rec

, and press

SELECT

2) Use the

LEFT

and

RIGHT

cursor keys to select

a track, and the

the muting on and off.

7.2 Unit-related functions

The following functions affect the settings of the
whole unit, on a unit-by-unit basis.

7.2.1 Chasing to ABS sync

Units which are not the first unit in the chain will
typically chase the first unit in the chain using the
ABS synchronization facility.

This is different from chasing to timecode, which
is described in 8.1.8, “Chasing to external time-
code”. Chasing to a DTRS master requires that
there is a properly-terminated sync and control

“daisy-chain” described in 3.1, “Connection to
DTRS units”

To set sync chase mode on or off for a particular
DTRS unit:

1) Press the

CHASE

key [31].

The word

CHASE

will start to flash in the

LOCATE TIME/VALUE

display.

2) Use the numeric keypad to enter the number of

the DTRS unit that you want to set.

This will toggle the chase status of the DTRS unit
between on and off.

The appropriate

LOCK STATUS

indicator [9] will

now show the chase status of the DTRS unit, as
will the CHASE indicators on the DTRS units..

When the master unit (ID 1) is controlled, the
slave units which have their chase mode set will
chase the master unit. As they lock, the

LOCK

STATUS

indicators will light steadily, as will the

CHASE indicators on the DTRS units.

Remember that DA-88 units, although their ID
numbering starts at 0, should be regarded as start-
ing at 1. The IDs for DA-38 and DA-98 units start
at 1 in any case.

7.2.2 Key Mode

Using this function, you can select either all
DTRS units connected to the RC-898, or just one
unit, to be controlled by the

ALL SAFE

[3],

ALL

INPUT

[4] and

AUTO MON

[5] keys.

Chase mode is enabled, and the slave is now
locked to the master.

fast flash

Chase mode is enabled, but the slave unit is not
yet locked (the slave unit is in fast forward,
rewind, etc.).

slow flash

Chase mode is enabled, but the slave unit is not
yet locked (unit is in stop mode)

off

Chase mode is disabled (or the unit is turned off
or not connected).

NOTE

If the

CHASE

key is pressed followed by the numeric key-

pad

key, this will toggle the chase status of all slave DTRS

units.
