SECTlON3: FORMATTINGATAPE
Audio can be recorded while formatting a tape (discussed
later). But it’s wise of you to format the tape from the
beginning all the way to the end before recording audio.
l
The tape formatting process writes sub-code data such as
ABS time and satup data such as ATF (Automatic Track
Finding) signal onto a non-audio section of the tape.
Unless you perform the next step (5) within five
seconds, the formatting mode is disabled and the
FORMAT indicator turns off. Should this occur,

SECTION 4 : RECORDING

I

I
This section of the manual provides information on
rehearsal or trial punch in/out and actual punch in/out
procedures.
Quite often, it becomes apparent that the recorded material contains a mistake or could be improved. One obvious
way to correct this problem is to x-record the entire track,
but, if the mistake is minor, this is not practical or necessary. You can use the technique known as Punch-in or
Insert recording. This provides a way to re-record only a
small part of a track, thus covering the mistake, or to
record additional material on a blank section of a track,
augmenting the original material.
c
For smooth punch-ins (dropping into record) and punchouts (dropping out of record) we recommend you the use
of the optional RC-30P footswitch. This streamlines the
process and you can control the timing of punching in and
out with ease. Especially if you are recording alone and
are busy playing an instnnnent, it is really handy.
The DA-38 has a Rehearsal function, allowing you to
make a trial punch in without actually recording on to
tape, And, when you are ready, you can “se an Auto

C. Perform a normal recording (as explained earlier, the
point yo” start recording from and the point yo” stop
recording are automatically stored into memory as
punch in and out points).
Punch in and out points yo” select by Method A or C can
be recalled from memory onto the display, and yo” can
trim them to frame acc”racy (Method B). Also, if the
necessary punch in and out points are known to yo” in

1 4-8. Ditherina the Re-wantization
Noise
1
The DA-38 has a 18 bit A/D converter, a quantim for
changing analog data into its digital equivalent,
2
Access the dither n~enu by pressing MENU as many
times as necessary, which looks like “d t k h. off “.
3
Press either the A or the V key and the “0 f F ” will
change to “0 n “.
4
Press SHIFT and the associated LED will turn off, the
display being switched back to show the ABS time.
The DA-38 can also receive digital data of up to 24 bits,
but it records and plays using I6 bit patterns, which means
that it is necessary to further convert the 18 or 24 bit data
into I6 bit data, a process called re-quantization.
The simplest solution may be rounding of the data, which
neglects data past the 16th bit.
This rounding ma.y produce noise correlated to the original input signal, because of the difference in resolution
between 18/24 bit data and 16 bit data.
The dithering process overcomes re-quantization noise by
masking it with a low-level random signal (a kind of
noise).
The DA-38 is designed to allow you to monitor the input
with as high a definition as possible, so the dithering
process takes place only when the input signal is actually
recorded onto tape. The effect of dithering is thus pwxptible only on playback.
‘l%e dithering function is enabled or disabled in a menu, as

unit, you can switch the insert and the auto input
monitor functions on/off separately.
SECTION 9 : MONITOR AND OTHER CAPABILITIES
(3) Auto Input monitor
This causes the inputs whose corresponding tracks are
record enabled to be sent directly to the same numbered
outputs whenever the transport goes into any other modes
than play.
When you rotate the SHUTTLE knob for reel rocking to
locate specific points on the tape, what you hear depends
on whether the shuttle monitor mode is activated or not, as
shown in the table below.
To activate or disable the shuttle monitor function :
