Selecting the input source
The input source for recording can be selected as
described here:
1 Press the MENU key, and use the JOG/DATA dial
to select SYSTEM SETUP. Press ENTER.
2 Use the JOG/DATA dial to select I/O SELECT. Press
ENTER.
3 Use the JOG/DATA dial to select from the follow-
ing screen:

4 First, choose between ANALOG and
DIGITAL on the INPUT parameter.
If you choose the analog option, remember that
both the balanced XLR inputs and the unbal-
anced RCA inputs are active together, but you
should only use one set.
5 If you are recording to CD, or a 44.1/48 kHz or
88.2/96 kHz-sampling frequency PCM DVD and
HD, select the DIO parameter (digital I/O) as ei-
ther AES/EBU or COAXIAL (S/PDIF). The
appropriate digital terminals will also be used for
output of the digital signal.
If you are recording to a 176.4/192 kHz-sampling
frequency DVD and HD, this option is not avail-
able, and AES/EBU is the only option available.
If you are recording to a DSD DVD and HD, the
signals will always be input and output through
the BNC connectors. The DIO parameter here
chooses the format in which the audio is sent and
received: DSD-RAW, which is the raw DSD bit
stream, or SDIF-3 (no other options are avail-
able). Consult the documentation for your other
equipment to nd out what format is most suit-
able for your setup.
6 Finally, in the case of 88.2/96 kHz-sampling fre-
quency DVD and HD with AES/EBU selected
as the input/output connector, there is an option
to select double-wire or double-speed as the I/O
format (MODE).
The
COAXIAL option allows double-speed
mode only, and 176.4/192 kHz-sampling fre-
quency is double-speed + double-wire mode, and
cannot be changed.
7 Press ENTER to conrm your settings and return
to the system setup menu.
TIP
The DV-RA1000HD is not equipped with a sampling
rate converter.
If you set the INPUT parameter to DIGITAL, in-
put a signal with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz
for CD recording. For DVD±RW or HD recording in
PCM mode, input a signal with the same sampling
frequency as that for the project.
