SYSTEM SETUP
NTSC 29.97Hz (VITC in) This option is available on the DD1500 only and synchronises the
NTSC 30Hz (VITC in)
WORDCLOCK
NOTE 1: If a wordclock sync source is selected and is being successfully received, the W/C
RCV LED above the RE32's timecode display will illuminate. If this LED flashes, this indicates
that there is some kind of problem with the wordclock (i.e. it is not connected or the cable is
faulty, whatever). Please check your connections.
NOTE 2: Recordings made at a sample rate other than the rate of the external wordclock
source will play back at the wrong speed. For example, if the wordclock being received is
44.1kHz and you try to play back a recording made at 48kHz, the recording will play back slow.
Please make sure that you are receiving the correct wordclock rate.

machine to an NTSC 29.97Hz house sync signal through the VITC SYNC
BNC connection. This would normally be used in Japan or America when
29.97 frames per second timecode is being used.
This option is available on the DD1500 only and synchronises the
machine to an NTSC 30Hz house sync signal through the VITC SYNC
BNC connection. This would normally be used in Japan or America when
30 frames per second timecode is being used.
On the DD8 or DR16pro, this allows you to sync the machine to a
wordclock signal through the SYNC BNC connector.
On the DD1500, this option allows you to sync to a wordclock signal
through the WORDCK (A) BNC connection.
This is used with a Sony PCM1630, etc. that has a separate SDIF
wordclock output.
If this field is ON, the DIGITAL SYNC automatically switches to the
selected Digital input when tracks are enabled for recording.
OFF is for use with Yamaha 02R and other digital mixing desks when
the selected machine is being used as the clock source for the desk. In
this case, the machine should not switch to digital sync when a digital
input from the desk is enabled, to prevent a sample-clock loop.
This selects if the emphasis flag will be set on the digital outputs, and
also controls the de-emphasis filter on the DA option board.
