1) Locate the slave tape with the backing music to
the start of the music.
The shuttle mode is useful here (see 8.6, "Shuttle
operations").
2) Rewind the master to a little before you want
the music to enter.
3) Make sure the slave is ready to accept an "on-
the-fly" offset entry as described above.
4) Start playing the master DA-98.
5) When the music entry point is reached, press
the or key to capture the offset point.

6) Stop the master, and set the slave into
mode (see 9.2.3, "Master/slave settings
(CHASE mode)").
7) Rewind the master to a little before the music
entry and start playing.
The slave machine should now follow the transport
movements of the master, with the appropriate off-
set, so that the music enters at the right point.

When you copy tapes between DTRS units in the
digital domain, there is no loss of quality. A
"worktape" or copy is therefore indistinguishable
from the original. Additionally, the DA-98 uses
low-cost media (Hi8 video cassettes).
NOTE
When you copy tracks from DA-88 units, the word
length should be set to 16 bits (see 8.10.2, "Selecting
word length")
9-4 – 1.00 – 06/97
You may want to exploit these features of the
DTRS system to make archive copies, and "safety
copies" of important material (see 1.5, "Recom-
mended tapes" for our suggestions on tape use).
1) With the power to all units turned OFF, make
the synchronization connections as described in
9.1, "Synchronization connections".
2) Connect the

3) Turn on both units. Make sure the machines'
IDs are correctly set (see 9.2.2, "Setting
machine ID").
4) Insert the master tape into the source master
and a blank tape, formatted with the same
sampling frequency as the master tape, into the
target slave.
5) Select
