Selecting the Input Channels
The input channels are initially assigned when the DR16pro is powered on. The default assigns
channels 1 to 8 as input hard disk tracks 1 to 8 and as input hard disk tracks 9 to 16. For example,
input 1 is assigned to track 1, input 2 to track 2, etc.; input 1 is also assigned by default to track 9,
input 2 to track 10, etc.
You can reassign the tracks to any input channel or to the internal bus channels.
To assign the input channels:
1) Press the SUB-MENU key.
The indicator in the key will flash and the text “SUB-MENU” will appear on the display.
2) Press one of the TRACK REC(INPUT SELECT) keys.
The selected TRACK REC key will light up and the display will show the currently selected
input source for that track. For example, if you press the first TRACK REC key, the display will
show “RECIN A - 1”.
Note: You can select only one TRACK REC key at a time in this mode.
3) Use the JOG/SHUTTLE control to select another input source.
Select an input source from the following list:
RECIN A - 1
RECIN A - 8
RECIN D - 1
RECIN D - 8
RECIN D I N L
RECIN D I N R
RECIN B U S L
RECIN B U S R
