Monitoring on Headphones
Select the headphone monitor source using the MONITOR
SELECT knob. The selected source signal is output from
the PHONES terminal.
Adjust the monitor level using the LEVEL knob.
Referencing to an External Clock
Source
The remote control unit can be operated referenced to an
external digital clock.
1 Connect the word clock from an external source to
the WORD SYNC IN terminal on the rear panel of the
CD-601MKII.
2 Set menu No. 04 (“CLOCK”) to “EXT”.
“EXT CLK” and the sampling frequency (“44.1k” or “48k”)
are lit on the clock display area of the display area.
The default setting is “INT” (referenced to internal clock).
Failsafe Function
The failsafe function is a safety function for preventing
playback from discontinuation when an operation key is
touched inadvertently during a final take.
In the default setting, the failsafe function is ON, and
operation of keys other than STOP, PLAY MODE and
DISPLAY MODE is not accepted during online playback.
Also, in the online READY mode, operation of search-
related keys such as the TRACK key and numeric keys and
the MENU key is not accepted.
[NOTE]
• Even when the failsafe function is ON, entry by the
numeric keys is accepted in the direct cue point locate
mode and flash start mode.
When the failsafe function is set to OFF at menu item No.
10 (“F_SAFE”), all keys (excluding SEARCH dial, FLASH
READY key and MEMO key in the online playback mode)
are functional.
The failsafe function ON/OFF setting is valid on both the
CD-601MKII and the RC-601MKII.
