About this manual
This manual intends to be used as a guide for using the Fostex DV824
DVD multitrack recorder.
This manual is written assuming that you have experience of using professional digital recorders and basic knowledge of digital recording.
By reading "Chapter 1: Introduction" and "Chapter 3: Names and
functions", you may roughly understand the outline of the DV824 and
how to use the DV824.
Chapter 3 can be used as the index because we not only briefly describe
functions of each control but also show the page where details are described.
"Chapter 2: Preparation before using the DV824" describes information
for using the DV824 for the first time, such as power connection and
initial formatting of the supplied DVD-RAM disk.
Precautions
• For supplying the power to the unit, only use the Fostex Model AD-15C
adaptor (the AD15C is supplied with the unit).
If you use any other AC adaptor, the unit may not work correctly and
there is a serious risk of damage to the unit.
DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824
DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824
DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824
• Make sure that the voltage of your AC power outlet matches the
voltage requirements printed on the AC adaptor.
If you wish to use the unit in a country where the voltage of the AC
power outlet does not match your AC adaptor, ask your local Fostex
dealer or service station for purchasing an appropriate AC adaptor.
Note that the AC adaptor can be used both in 50 Hz and 60 Hz areas.
• Never supply voltage other than DC12V to the unit.
• When disconnecting the AC adaptor, make sure that the unit [POWER]
switch is set to "OFF".
Disconnecting the AC adaptor while the power is "ON" may damage
data because the unit always handles data.
• While the unit is accessing to a disk (for example, during recording),
never turn off the power. Make sure that the unit completely stops
accessing to the disk before you turn off the power. Otherwise, recorded
data may be lost, as well as the disk may be damaged.
<Note>:
ever due to use of the unit.
<Note>:
age" caused by using the unit.
Note that Fostex assumes no responsibility on data loss or whatso-
Fostex is not responsible for any "direct damage" or "indirect dam-
• Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects such as pins,
accidentally enter the inside of the unit (especially inside of the disk
tray) because this may lead to electric shock or damage. Should water
enter the inside of the unit, turn off the power, unplug the AC adaptor
and remove batteries, and consult your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX
service station.

• Do not drop the unit or give it a strong shock. The internal circuits,
display, panels may be damaged. Handle the unit with great care
because it is a precision machine.
• To prevent possible electric shock and damage to the unit, do not
remove the cover or reach the inside of the unit.
• Do not give a strong shock to the LCD display. The liquid used inside
the LCD display is toxic. If the liquid is spilled, do not suck it in.
If it is stained to your hand or skin, wash immediately with plenty of
water.
<About replacing the lithium battery>
The DV824 uses a lithium battery internally. To replace the battery, ask
your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX service station. If the battery is not correctly replaced, there may be a risk of explosion, etc.
Precautions on installation
Do not install the unit in the following conditions.
* In a extremely hot or cold place
* In a moist place
* In a shaky or unstable place
* In a dusty place
* In a strong magnetic field or near a device which generates a
magnetic field
* In the direct sunshine
* In the direct rain or water
• Notes on moisture condensation
When you bring the unit from a cold place to a warm place, moisture
may condense on the drive, display, panels, etc. In such a case, leave
the unit for a while until it warms up and evaporates any moisture.

Main features/functions
• Equipped with an E-IDE 12-centimeter DVD-RAM drive.
This drive ensures high-speed access and reliability, which only the optical
disk system can afford.
• The DVD-RAM disk format is conformed to "UDF Rev1.5", which ensures
compatibility with personal computers.
• The recording file format is conformed to the BWF interleave 1 file
specification. When a file is imported to a DAW from the DV824, it can be
separated to multiple mono files. (Note that the DAW must support
interleave files.)
• In addition to mono-track and stereo-track modes, 4-, 5-, 6- and 8-track
modes are available for recording.
• Supports word synchronization as standard, allowing the DV824
synchronized with external digital devices.
• By installing the optional TC/SYNC card, you can record a time code
generated by the internal TC generator (in +/- 1 PPM accuracy) or an
external SMPTE/EBU time code, along with audio signals. The recorded time
code data is stored to the Time Stamp (Time Reference) of the BWF file.
You can also synchronize the DV824 to a film machine.
• Built in ether card. The DV824 can be an FTP server, allowing you to
transfer audio file data between the DV824 and your personal computer via
TCP/IP.
• By creating an ALE file from a recorded audio file, you can export it to the
AVID system.
• By installing the optional 2.5-inch hard disk drive, you can make "Auto
copy", "File Copy" and "Disk Copy" between a DVD-RAM disk and a hard
disk partition, as well as "Dual Drive Recording".
• By installing the optional IEEE1394 USB2 card, you can directly connect the
DV824 to a personal computer. It allows exporting audio file data recorded
by the DV824 to your personal computer.
• A USB port is provided for connecting to a USB keyboard. You can enter or
edit a file name, volume name, etc. from a keyboard instead of the DV824
panel keys.
• The Mark/Cue function allows to store markers (cue points) during
recording. You can locate or skip to a cue point quickly.
• The "False start" function allows to cancel recording easily.
• "Pre Record" function allows glitch-free recording. When this function is
active, recent audio data is pooled in the buffer and recording starts from
the audio data in the buffer.

The DVD-RAM drive of the unit can load following types of disks. Depending on the type of a
disk loaded, the unit starts up differently as described below. If you set a disk with the type
other than the following types, the unit automatically rejects it and opens the disk tray.
• Unformatted disk
As described earlier, the unit recognizes that the disk is unformatted and shows "Unformat"
on the display, followed by the "Format" menu item of the "DISK UTILITY" menu in the
MENU mode.
• Unused formatted disk
If you set an unused UDF-formatted disk, the unit scans the disk and recognizes that no
BWF files exist on the disk, then starts up while showing "--No files!--" on the Home screen
(see page 21 for details).
• Recorded disk
If you set a DVD-RAM disk on which any audio file is recorded, the earliest recorded audio
file (file number 001) on the disk is loaded normally. For example, if five recorded audio
files (001 through 005) exist on the disk, the unit always starts up at the beginning (ABS 0)
of the "001" file. However, if the "Resume" menu item of the "DISK UTILITY" menu in the
MENU mode is set to "On", the audio file previously loaded before turning off the power
last time is loaded (see page 154 for details).
• CD-DA format audio CD
If you set an audio CD disk of the Red Book format (regardless of whether it is a CD-R/RW
disk or commercially available CD), the unit starts up at the beginning of track 1 (see page
64 for detaols). Only playback is possible with an audio CD.
Note that some copy-protected audio CDs may not be played back.
• ISO9660-formatted CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW
If you set an ISO9660-formatted CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW disk, you can play back a WAV
file (BWF) on the disk.
Important notice for setting an uncovered disk to the tray
When you set an uncovered disk (such as a DVD-RAM disk which is taken out from a case,
a CD-ROM or an audio CD), place the disk on the inner position of the tray and then slide
it forward to fix it by the fixing guides on the tray, as shown in <Figure 1>. If you place a
disk on the fixing guides and close the tray, the disk is not loaded correctly, which may
damage the disk or the unit. Please make sure that an uncovered disk is correctly fixed by
the fixing guides before closing the tray. When removing a disk from the tray, slide it
backward and pull it up, as shown in <Figure 2>.

Initial format of a D VD-RAM disk
To make recording/playback by the unit, you have to format a DVD-RAM disk in the
UDF Rev 1.5 format.
When loading an unused DVD-RAM disk, the unit recognizes the disk is not formatted and automatically goes to the second level of the "Format" menu item.
On the "Format" second level screen, you can set the following four items before
executing formatting.
<The "Format" second level screen>

(the required time according to the selection of the "Physical Format" item is shown on the
screen).

hard disk drive).
This item is only valid for the "Normal" format mode. When setting this item to "Off", the unit
executes the simple format and it takes very short time. When setting it to "On", it takes
some time for formatting (see below).
A reel number can be edited using the "Reel No" menu item in the "DISK UTILITY"
When formatting a well-used disk, execute the physical format.
When "Physical Format" is set to "Off": approx. 1 min. 30 sec.
When "Physical Format" is set to "On": appro x. 1 hour 30 min.
