Adjusting the input level
Use the so keys and wheel to adjust the input level (this procedure works with both analog and
digital inputs).
Press the INPUT LEVEL key and use F3 and F4 to highlight the on-screen controls: the gain control
(MAIN), the balance control (BALANCE), and the bypass control (BYPASS).
Use the cursor keys and wheel to adjust the input level, the le-right balance, and to turn the bypass on
or off, depending on the control currently highlighted.
Use F1 (MAIN->0) to reset the input gain to unity gain and F2 (BAL->0) to reset the input signal balance
to center. Press ENTER to confirm the settings here.
Starting a new DVD disc
When you load a new DVD+RW into the drive, the DV-RA1000 determines that it is blank, and
asks to start a new project.
Press F4 to start editing the name. Use the wheel and cursor keys to name the project. Press ENTER
when finished.
Use the wheel to select a sampling frequency for the project. Press ENTER.
e DV-RA1000 will create the new project and start a background format of the whole disc. You can
make settings, etc. while this is taking place, but we recommend that you do not start recording until the
format is over. e top right of the “home” screen shows CLOSE blinking when the background format is
in progress. CLOSE is displayed steadily when formatting is finished (aer about 20 minutes).
Preparing to record
Selecting the input
Press MENU, use the wheel to highlight SYSTEM SETUP, and press ENTER. Highlight INPUT SELECT and
press ENTER.
Use the cursor keys and wheel to select the type of input (INPUT), the digital terminals to use (DIO) and
the double-speed or double-wire MODE for double-rate digital input. Press ENTER to confirm.
For best results, and to maintain data integrity, TASCAM strongly recommends the use of new DVD+RW
discs for important recordings.
