Connections with the VSR-880

Updating the system program
System program version 1.03 or later is required in order to
connect and use the VSR-880 with the RPC-1. If your VSR-
880 has version 1.02 or earlier, the system program must be
updated.
Checking the version
When the power is turned on, the lower line of the opening
screen will show the version as (for example)"– Ver. 1.02 –."
Updating the system program
The directory "UPDATE > VSR-880" in the included
"DRIVER/UPDATE CD-ROM" contains the data for the
update. Perform the update procedure as directed in the
"readme.doc" file.
Example settings
RPC-1 settings (in the Control Panel)
• Master Clock: Int. Clock
• Int. Clock Sample Rate: either 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz
(match the setting of the VSR-880)
VSR-880 settings
• Master Clock: R-BUS
• System PRM
RBUSMute: Disable*
• Execute Shutdown([SHIFT]+[SHUT/EJECT/(STOP)])
whenever you change RBUSMute.
* RBUSMute is a parameter that was newly added in version
1.03 in order to support the RPC-1. If you are connecting an
earlier R-BUS device, set RBUSMute=Enable.
The RBUSMute parameter applies to the entire system; not
to an individual song.
In order to use the VSR-880's R-BUS input, each input of the
input mixer must be set to R-BUS. For details, refer to
"Channel condition" on p. 79 in the "VSR-880 owner's
manual."
If you wish to output each track of the VSR-880 to a separate
channel, go to [LEVEL/BALANCE]
and set "MST Direct Out = On."

Connections with the VS-2480

Example settings
RPC-1 settings (in the Control Panel)
• Master Clock: Int. Clock
• Int.Clock Sample Rate: either 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96kHz
VS-2480 settings
• Master Clock: R-BUS
If you connect two RPC-1 units to a VS-2480, set the VS-2480
as the word clock master, and set each of the RPC-1's as its
slave. And then, turn the SW-1 on of each RPC-1. Notice that
each RPC-1 must receive word clock from R-BUS. For details
refer to p. 6 "Names of Things and what they do" and
p. 17 "Using multiple RPC-1 units."
If you are using a sampling frequency of 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz,
it is not possible to use a clock cable to synchronize multiple
RPC-1 units. Supply the word clock via R-BUS.
If you are using a sampling frequency of 88.2 or 96 kHz,
using a five meter R-BUS cable (RBC-5) may cause noise to
occur. If you are using a frequency of 88.2 or 96 kHz, use
shorter cable.
