18. Peak Level Meters
These meters register the signal levels being fed to the
TSR-8's
OUTPUT
connectors,
in the limits of -20 dB
to +8 dB.
19. AUTO INPUT Button
without having to change any settings on the mixer.
20. ALL INPUT Button
When
ALL
INPUT
is pressed
on, all the channels'
output will carry signals derived
from the input elec-
tronics regardless of the transport mode.
21. SYNC LOCK Switch
SYNC
LOCK
is used to "lock" track 8 to playback |
mode
so sequencers
or
synchronizers
can constantly
read sync signals (FSK or SMPTE
time codes) played
back form that track. Another function the switch pro-
vides is to turn off the DBX on track 8 only, enabling
sync signals to be recorded
and played back without
being affected by the dbx encode/decode.
When
recording sync signals on track 8 be sure to
press the SYNC
LOCK
switch AFTER
the track's re-
cord enable button. A red LED will then start blinking
above the SYNC
LOCK
switch
to indicate that the
DBX on track 8 is disabled.
CAUTION:
If the SYNC
LOCK
switch is pressed
when
the track 8 button
is in its OFF
position, the
SYNC LOCK LED will turn on solid, instead of blinking,
to indicate that the track is ''locked"', and pressing the
track button
has
no
effect
and
any
recording can't
start on that track.
Once
track 8 is complete, release the track button
by pressing it again. This will cause the SYNC
LOCK
LED that was blinking to turn on solid. As the LED is
on solid, the track will NOT switch to Input, regardless
of the settings of ALL INPUT or AUTO INPUT.

22. DBX NR On/Off Switches, 1-4 and 5-8
When
these
switches
are engaged,
their
LEDs
will
light and the built-in dbx
noise reduction
system for
each group of channels (1-4 and 5-8) is turned on. This
system provides a noise reduction of about 30 dB and
increase of tape saturation level (headroom) of about 10
dB, resulting in a dynamic range of more than 100 dB.
When
the SYNC
LOCK
switch is engaged,
the dbx
system
for track 8 is disabled,
as shown
in the table -
above.
23. RHSL (Rehearsal) Button
RHSL
is the first stage of an automatic
punch-in
recording.
During
Rehearsal
Set
mode
(RHSL
LED
blinking), the TSR-8
memorizes the preroli, punch-in,
and
punch-out
counter
locations
that
are
used
for
rehearsals and for AUTO

repeat the rehearsal sequence as many times as you wish.
in the above Rehearsal mode, the RHSL function (in
combination
with
the
INSERT
feature)
switches
the
output of tracks
in record
ready mode
from tape to
source
and back again at the preset points
BUT
NO
SIGNAL WILL BE RECORDED
TO TAPE. This allows
you to hear what a punch-in will sound
like before you
actually record it, without having to manually press any
keys or footswitch.
