Yamaha DTR2 Recording Equipment User Manual


 
Recording from the analog input jacks
This procedure is recommended when making a recording
from a mixing console, analog tape deck, tuner,
phonograph or other similar external audio source.
When recording from these sources, the tune numbers may
not be written properly with the Start ID Auto Write function.
In this case, you can manually write start ID signals during
recording or after recording. See page 19.
1 Turn the POWER switch ON.
2 Set the START ID AUTO WRITE button.
If the source to be recorded does not contain a sound
muted section
of
about 2 seconds between tunes,
press the START ID AUTO WRITE button so that the
light of the button goes off.
3 Set the INPUT selector to the ANALOG position.
4 Set the REC fs selector.
5 Set the ANALOG INPUT selector on the rear panel
according to the jacks to be used.
Unbalanced pin jacks: Set to the PIN position.
Balanced pin jacks: Set to the XLR position.
6 Load a DAT cassette.
7 Press the REC button
The unit enters record stand-by mode. When recording
from the beginning of the tape, a sound muted section
of about 7 seconds is automatically recorded and the
unit enters record stand-by mode.
8 Play the source to be recorded and adjust the
recording level with the REC LEVEL control. See
below.
9 Press the PLAY button to start recording.
10 When recording is completed, press the END ID
WRITE button.
After the end ID signal is written, the tape stops
automatically.
If the end ID signal is written, it is easy to continue a
recording from the end of a previous recording. See
page 20.
NOTE:
Be sure to set the INPUT, ANALOG INPUT and REC fs
selectors before recording. If the INPUT or REC fs selector
is switched during recording, the unit enters pause mode.
If the ANALOG INPUT selector is switched, a several-
second blank section is recorded.
To adjust the recording level when recording
from the analog input jacks
As a guide, adjust the recording level so that the peak level
meter is between"-18 dB" and "0". Be sure the peak levels
do not reach "OVER". If the peak levels exceed "0", "OVER"
lights and distorted sound may result.
If the recording levels for the left and right channels are
different, adjust the left and right channels separately
(See the figure.)
