Examine the TRACK INPUT menu. Note that you can route the ANALOG inputs, the AES digital
inputs, or the output of the SAMPLE RATE CONVERTER to a selected track pair.
Sample Rate Conversions
MENU | Machine Setup | Audio I/O | Sample Rate Converter
The sample rate converter (SRC) permits incoming digital audio to be accepted, even if at a different
sample rate than TCR’s current setting. For example, 44.1 kHz digital audio may be recorded at 48
kHz by routing it through the internal sample rate converter.
The diagram below represents TCR’s data path for incoming audio. It will be seen that any pair of
digital audio inputs may be routed to the sample rate converter. Note that although the SRC may be
placed in the signal path, and may either:
• Perform a sample rate conversion, or
• Pass the data through, not converted.

Track Arming
Eight numbered track ARM buttons are provided on the TCR8 — four on the TCR4. When lit RED,
the selected track(s) are armed for recording. Each button stays lit during the record interval, and
remains lit until it is manually disarmed.
On the TCR8 only, an ARM ALL button is provided to arm or disarm all channels. If selected
channels (but not all channels) are armed, the first press disarms all channels and the second press
arms all channels.
