About this Manual 3 Tape recorder-like transport controls, and the Large vacuum fluorescent display, with large, easy to read counter, make operation a breeze. Visual level monitoring is provided by eight 16-segment track level meters. Selectable normal and fine scales make it easy to set precise levels when recording reference tones. Also, projects can be titled for easy identification. The D24 can generate, or synchronize to either SMPTE/EBU or MTC (MIDI Timecode) timecode. Timecode synchronization is to 1/10-frame accuracy, and an offset can be set relative to an external timecode source. Remote control is possible using MMC (MIDI Machine Control), or video editing equipment that supports 9-pin protocols. Other features include Absolute (ABS) and Relative (REL) counter modes, disk duplication with two D24s, and the ability to mount D24 MO disks on personal computers. See "D24 Features" on page 4 for a concise rundown of D24 features. About this Manual This Owner's Manual contains all the information you need in order to operate your D24 Digital Multitrack Recorder. Use the table of contents to familiarize yourself with the organization of this manual and locate topics, and use the index to locate specific information. A glossary of D24-related jargon is provided on page 201. The following format is used throughout this Owner's Manual for display messages: "FORMAT DISK-ARE YOU SURE". The message before the dash appears on the 1st line of the display, and the message after the dash appears on the 2nd line. Installing the D24 The D24 can be used freestanding on a stable surface, somewhere that complies with the important information at the beginning of this manual, or mounted in a rack. When mounting the D24 in a rack, remove the D24's feet and leave adequate ventilation space around the D24 (at least 10 cm of free space behind). If the D24 is mounted in a portable rack case, keep the rear of the case open when using the D24, so as not to obstruct the flow of air from the cooling fan. Do not mount the D24 next to equipment that produces a lot of heat, such as a power amplifier. D24-Owner's Manual
