Before operating D2424LVmkII, please read this manual and carry out preparations by carefully following the explanations. Although fundamental operating methods are also given here, to obtain utmost performance of D2424LVmkII, it is also recommended to read the "Reference Manual" which is the main text. Model D2424LVmkII Quick Operation Guide CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT. ATTENTION: CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. POUR EVITER LES CHOCS ELECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE LA LAME LA PLUS LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE CORRESPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER JUSQU' AU FOND. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. [. . . ] As described earlier in "Formatting a hard disk drive", the sampling frequency and quantization of the current drive (<44. 1 kHz 16bit or 24bit>, <48 kHz 16bit or 24bit>, <88. 2 kHz 24 bit> or <96 kHz 24bit>) are fixed when formatting. Therefore, the sampling frequency of a digital device connected to the recorder must match the recorder's sampling frequency. In this recorder, the program to be complied in the current drive after formatting can be changed to any sampling frequency. When several programs recorded using different sampling frequencies are in the current drive, sampling frequencies must be confirmed at each change of the program.

Basic analog recording The following explanation assumes that this recorder has been connected to an external mixing console (as explained in the "Connecting a Mixer" section). Because the D2424LVmkII can accept 24 channel analog signals, you can record up to 24 audio sources simultaneously. 1, 4 AUTO RTN AUTO PLAY 45 AUTO RTN CLIPBOARD AUTO PUNCH IN OUT START IN OUT END PGM SEL EXIT/NO EXECUTE/YES 24TRACK DIGITAL RECORDER PREVIEW EJECT CHASE EDIT SETUP UNDO/REDO CHARACTER NEXT PREV LOCATE MEMORY DISP SEL STORE RECALL POWER 24bit 96kHz SHIFT TC READY TC GEN M.

When the recorder section is stopped, the "Please Wait!" message appears on the display momentarily, then the current position appears. The ready track indicators flash.

You need to adjust the recording level on the device that outputs recording data. Use the group master faders on the mixer (faders that control the output level of BUSS OUTs). Set the recording tracks on this recorder to input monitoring status so that you can check the level adjustment. (The RECORD LED flashes. ) The "ready" tracks enter the input monitoring status. As you raise the group output level on the mixer, the level meter segments of the ready tracks light up. Adjust the level so that the "0" to "3" level segments of the level meter light up at the highest peak. If the "OL" segments of the meter light up, the recording level is too high. If the recording level is too high on a digital recorder, the recording signal may distort, unlike an analog recorder. Especially, if you are recording vocal or acoustic instruments, the recording level may suddenly peak. In this case, you may want to lower the signal peak by applying a compressor/limiter using an insertion connector. Playing the recorded tracks 5. Press the [RECORD TRACK] select keys for the ready tracks to set the tracks in the safe status. The flashing track indicators turn off. 6. Hold down the [STOP] button and press the [REWIND] button to locate the top of the Program (ABS 0). The top of the Program is immediately located in LOCATE ABS 0 mode. 7. Press the [PLAY] button. The playback starts from the top of the Program. Adjust the level of input signal at TAPE IN on the mixer and monitor the sound. Repeat the procedure described above to record more tracks (mono track or multiple tracks). You can record eight different sound sources on this recorder simultaneously. <Undo and redo recording> If you make a mistake or you are not satisfied with the recording, you can "undo" recording. [. . . ] Press the [PLAY] button to play this recorder. Press the [VARI PITCH] key. The VARI PITCH key LED lights up on the display, indicating that the Vari Pitch function is turned on. 6. If you wish to play back data at the current Vari Pitch again, press the [VARI PITCH] key to turn the LED on. You can turn the Vari Pitch function on and off and edit the pitch data while this recorder is playing or stopped, but not during recording. However, if the Vari Pitch function has already been turned on and the pitch data was specified before you started recording, this recorder will record using the current Vari Pitch. 3. Press the [SHIFT] key, then press the [VARI PITCH] key. The current pitch data flashes on the display, indicating that you can change the pitch data now. (The "%" mark flashes. ) Flashing <Notes> · Even if the pitch data is 0. 0% (no speed change), pressing the [VARI PITCH] key will still turn on the VARI PITCH function. [. . . ]
