Setting the reference clock (word sync, etc.)
Before using the DV-RA1000 with other digital equipment, you must set up the audio system so that
one unit acts as the system clock master. e DV-RA1000 can act as a clock master or as a slave.
Press the MENU key.
Use the wheel to highlight SYSTEM SETUP, and press the ENTER key.
Use the wheel to highlight REFERENCE CLOCK, and press the ENTER key.
Use the wheel to select the SOURCE as either INTERNAL (the DV-RA1000 acts as the system sync master),
WORD (the sync clock is input through the WORD SYNC IN BNC connector) or DIGITAL IN.
Press ENTER to make the setting and return to the SYSTEM SETUP screen.
NOTE that when recording a DSD project, the clock may be either internal, or
input through the dedicated WORD SYNC IN BNC connector. In either case, the
clock is 44.1kHz. Also remember that when loading a project, the sampling fre
-
quency of the DV-RA1000 changes to match that of the project.

SDIF-3/DSD-raw connectors (one
per channel) for DSD recording.

Before you start
Use the DV-RA1000 to record and play back
UDF-format discs containing audio files on
DVD+RW media, as well as using it to create Red
Book audio CDs on standard CD-R and CD-RW
media.

can be played back on the DV-RA1000, and
transferred, using a USB connection, to a digital
audio workstation for editing and mastering.
e 24-bit audio files are organized on the disc
within projects (maximum of 99 files/project)
and the files within a project are all the same
sampling frequency, but a single disc may con

tain up to 99 projects of different sampling fre
-

the disc first (short press of OPEN/CLOSE) or shut down the unit by holding down the OPEN/CLOSE
