1-1 Principal Features

Chapter 1 Overview

1-1-1 General

This unit is a digital audio recorder conforming to the DAT (digital audio tape) format. It has a wide range of functions designed to meet the requirements of applications at TV/radio broadcasting stations and production houses.

1-1-2 Features

Electronic editing You can carry out automatic electronic editing using two PCM-7040 units together with the RM-D7300 Digital Audio Editor (optional). You can store the sound around a selected edit point on the built-in sound memory. This feature enables you to rehearse editing by playing back the sound memory (memory rehearsal), without running the tape, and to set edit points precisely, resulting in higher efficiency, quality, and precision.

Compatibility with consumer DAT recorders Since the basic tape format is identical with that of consumer DAT recorders, the basic functions of the unit are compatible with those of all consumer DAT recorders.

ID function This unit has an ID code function peculiar to DATs. The use of a Start ID, for example, makes it possible to carry out a high-speed search operation.

Variable-speed playback/recording You can vary the playback speed arbitrarily within a range of ±12.5 percent of normal playback speed. You can vary the recording speed within a range of –0.2 to +0.2 percent.

Search functions This unit offers flexible search functions which include; time code location, Start-ID location, program number location, and cuing (search performed while hearing the playback sound).

AAAAyA<H.L0.idx>

Chase synchronization function based on time code This unit can be locked to an external time code. You can synchronize this unit with video equipment.

Memory start function The sound memory makes it possible for you to start hearing sound the instant you press the PLAY key (memory start). You can also use this function to cue the tape precisely and easily.

4-head drum Equipped with a 4-head drum, this unit can monitor sound being recorded—RAW (Read After Write) function, as well as perform punch-in and punch-out recording with cross-fades-RMW (Read Modify Write) function.

Recording and reproduction of time code The tape used for this unit has subcode areas where you can record or read SMPTE/EBU time code.

Adoption of search dial This unit has a versatile search dial. You can use it to perform dial menu operations to set or change the data to be displayed, to reproduce sound from the sound memory in jog mode, or to cue the tape to a specific position.

A wide range of interfaces for remote control You can use any of the following four types of interfaces for remote control: a 9-pin serial remote connector, a 37-pin parallel remote connector, an 8-pin parallel remote connector, and an optional RS-232C computer interface connector.

Extensive options to realize diverse applications Extensive options including digital audio editors are available so that you can set up a system capable of realizing a wide range of applications.

INSERT AUDIO key and indicator When this key is pressed, the indicator lights and the unit goes into INSERT AUDIO mode. In INSERT AUDIO mode, you can record only the audio signals (for insertion) on a tape.

INSERT SUB (subcode) key and indicator When this key is pressed, the indicator lights and the unit goes into INSERT SUB mode. In INSERT SUB mode, you can record only the subcode data (for insertion) on a tape.

#º INPUT MONITOR key and indicator Use this key to switch the audio output signal selection between the playback signal and the input signal

#¡ CUE mode key and indicator Pressing this key causes the indicator to light and the search dial go into CUE mode. Turning the search dial in CUE mode causes the tape speed to vary, according to the angle and direction of search dial rotation. The tape speed varies in 7 stages ranging from 1/5 the normal speed to 16 times the normal speed in either direction. Since you can listen to the playback sound while adjusting the tape speed, you can locate (cue) the tape to a desired position efficiently.

Chapter 3 Preparations

3-1-1 Use and Storage

Do not subject the unit to severe shocks; otherwise, the internal mechanism may be damaged, or the body distorted.

Use and storage locations Store in a level, ventilated place. Avoid using or storing the unit in the following places:

•Where it is subject to extreme of temperature.

•Very damp places.

•Places subject to severe vibration.

•Near strong magnetic fields.

•In direct sunlight for extended periods, or close to heating apparatus.

Cleaning the tape heads Clean the tape heads about once a week by using the DT-10CL cleaning cassette.

How to clean the tape heads While holding the EJECT key, insert the cleaning cassette. Keep the EJECT key held down until “--cLEAninG--” appears in the display. The cassette is played back for about 10 seconds, then ejected automatically. When the tape reaches the end during playback, the cassette rewinds to the beginning automatically, but is not ejected.

3-1-2 Condensation

If you move the unit suddenly from a very cold place to a warm place, or use it in a very damp location, condensation may form on the head drum. If the unit is operated in this state, the tape may adhere to the drum, and cause a failure or even permanent damage. Avoid operating the unit under the conditions described above. If condensation forms on the head drum, error code “Error 2-01” appears on the display of the unit. In that case, leave the unit switched on until the error code disappears.

Chapter 3

Replacement of head drum and lithium battery The head drum and the lithium battery used in the unit need to be replaced. To see the accumulated operation time of the head drum, choose “Hour-t (HOUR TIME)” of the Setup menu. When you replace the head drum, also replace the lithium battery for memory backup.

For the replacement, consult qualified Sony personnel.

Notes

•To make a digital copy with the time code and the audio signals in line with each other, set the “tc dLY” (time code delay) of a dial menu to “d out” (digital output).

See section 7-3 “Dial Menu Operations” (page 7-5).

•In digital copying between two PCM-7040s, the unit doesn’t copy the subcode signals such as Start ID or ABS TIME even if you follow the above setting. To copy subcode ID signals, follow one of the procedures below:

— First copy the audio signal and time code signal.

Then write the subcode IDs in the INSERT mode.

— Make connections in the REMOTE (37P)

connector as shown below, then you can copy Start ID, Skip ID, and End ID, as well as the audio signals and the time code signals simultaneously. Note that in this digital copy, the copied ID signals are 1 to 3 frames behind the audio signals and the time code signals.

3-3-3 Selecting the Sampling Frequency

Select the sampling frequency for recording using the SAMPLING FREQ selector. In the playback mode, the sampling frequency is selected automatically according to the sampling frequency of the tape ID.

3-3-4 Selecting the Input Signal

This unit inputs either analog audio signals or digital audio signals. Select one of the two types of input signals with the AUDIO INPUT selector.

AUDIO INPUT

ANALOG N Selects the analog audio signal.

SAMPLING FREQ

44.1kHz N Sets the sampling frequency to

44.1 kHz.

48kHz N Sets the sampling frequency to

48 kHz.

To record on a recorded tape using a different sampling frequency We recommend you avoid using two different sampling frequencies on a tape. Erase the old recording first with a bulk eraser for metal tape before you record on the tape in a different sampling frequency.

DIGITAL N Selects the digital audio signal.

Chapter 3

Using a recorded tape without erasing the old recording In the cases below, this unit follows the sampling frequency setting on the unit even though it is different from that on the tape.

•When there are some unrecorded parts on a tape The sampling frequency of the unrecorded part can be changed with the SAMPLING FREQ selector on the unit. The unit does not record absolute time in this case.

• During tape loading If you press the PLAY key while holding the REC key down within about five seconds after inserting a tape, the sampling frequency of this unit follows the SAMPLING FREQ selector setting even if it is different from that of the tape ID.
