DCR822
on the transmitter.
If AES3 output type is selected on one or both of the
receiver outputs, it is possible to keep the normal audio
on both channels separate from any TB audio. To do
this, have normal audio on receiver channel 1 routed to
AES1L, and the TB audio routed to AES1R. Meanwhile,
receiver channel 2 audio can be routed to AES2L, and it's
TB audio can be routed to AES2R.
Polarity:
Allows user to set audio polarity of each channel as either
positive or negative.
Compat Modes
Allows user to set compatibility mode per receiver chan-
nel. Available modes are: mono digital modes D2 and
HDM (High Density Mode); stereo digital modes Duet
channel 1, 2, or both and DCHX (encrypted) channel 1, 2,
or both; and mono Hybrid modes: NA Hybrid, NU Hybrid,
EU Hybrid, and JA Hybrid. EU and JA modes are not
available for Block 941.

SD Card Settings

Files:
Allows user to access list of files saved on the microSD
card in .WAV format. Using the UP/DOWN buttons to
highlight a specific file, the pressing MENU/SEL displays
file details including date, time, and length of the record-
ing.
Takes:
Lists files on the microSDHC card in the Scenes and
Takes format. Files are listed in the form of SXX TXXX.
Selecting a file will display date, time, and length of re-
cording.
Record:
Starts the DCR822 in recording mode, with files named
and Scenes and Takes sequenced according to the set-
tings in SD Card>File Naming, and SD Card>Scene &
Take. The number of tracks recorded depends on the
Compat modes chosen on the receiver channels, and
how many channels of audio are present on each. For
instance, if both channels are in Hybrid compat modes
(mono audio on each) then two tracks will be recorded in
the .WAV file. If channel 1 is in D2 mode and channel 2 is
in DCHX mode with "Both" selected (2 channels of audio)
then there will be 3 tracks recorded in the .WAV file.
Scene & Take:
Allows user to set scene and take file naming starting
point. Subsequent starts and stops of recordings will
increment the take number.
Format Card:
Prompts user for confirmation of erasing files and prepar-
ing card for recording of audio files.
File Naming:
Allows users to set the naming format of file between:
16
- Sequence
- Clock Time
- Scene&Take
Load Group and Save Group:
Tuning groups allows lists of frequencies to be created,
edited, stored and transferred in order to constrain tun-
ing or allow for quick selection of frequencies shared
between devices. Groups are created in the receiver,
then can be shared to other receivers or transmitters via
IR Sync, or by storing the group on a data-formatted
microSDHC card and loading that card onto the tar-
get units. To load a pre-existing set of groups from a
data-formatted microSDHC card, choose Load Group,
then select the desired group file by pressing the UP or
DOWN buttons, then press MENU/SEL. To save fre-
quency groups that have been previously populated,
choose Save Group, then press the MENU/SEL button.
All groups will be saved as .GRP files.
About Card:
Shows the space left on the card, maximum recording
time available on the card and the next file number in the
naming sequence.
Recovering an Interrupted Recording
Recordings can be reliably recovered even if the microS-
DHC memory card is accidentally removed or the bat-
tery dies while a recording is in progress. If a recording
is interrupted, all of the audio is present on the card and
can be easily recovered by the DCR822. The DCR822
keeps track of the length of the most recent recording so
it can supply a good suggestion for the length to recover.
If the length is ever unknown or the DCR822's suggestion
seems incorrect, it is always possible to override the sug-
gested length. If in doubt, specify the maximum length
possible, in which case the entire remainder of the card is
recovered. All of the interrupted recording will be present,
followed by extra contents which might be random noise
or audio from previously deleted recordings.
NOTE: Good batteries or an external power supply is
required for the recovery. If recovery is attempted with
weak batteries, a message will appear indicating that
fresh batteries will be required.
Once fresh batteries have been installed, power on the
DCR822 and insert the card with the interrupted record-
ing. The DCR822 will detect the interrupted recording
and display:
