Procedure for Synchronization
Whatever the clock to which the PCM-800 is referenced, if the
CHASE MODE DIP switch is set to its up/"Free" mode position, the
PCM-800 goes into its normal play mode once synced up to the
master.
If you intend to perform a synchronized rehearse, do not press
REHEARSAL before CHASE. Once REHEARSAL is pressed,
CHASE cannot operate.
1 Make sure of the following :
* Your master machine is correctly connected to the PCM-800/
DABK-801 system.
* The PCM-800/DABK-801 system is referenced to the
appropriate clock.
If a VTR is the master and the CLOCK key is set to VIDEO, the
VIDEO IN connector of the DABK-801 must be fed with a
signal from which a clock can be derived regardless of VTR
transport status — a signal from sync generators, pattern
generators, etc. If for example, a video output signal is
connected instead, and the VTR stops playing, no clocks are
available; and, when play resumes, the system clock of PCM-
800 does not stabilize in time.
* The PCM-800 is ID-numbered "0."
¢ The CHASE MODE DIP switch is set to the desired position.
* If you are in doubt about the type of time code in use on the tape
inserted to the PCM-800, verify it as per instructions in (4) of
page 2-3.
