CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES
8
This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could
cause a leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by
the following precautions when using batteries.
Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The
batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.
•
When installing batteries, pay attention to the
polarity indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation), and
install them correctly in the battery compartment as
indicated. Putting them in backward could make the
batteries rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains
around them.
•
When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their terminals
with insulation tape or something like that to prevent
them from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.
•
•
•
When throwing used batteries away, follow the
disposal instructions indicated on the batteries and the
local disposal laws.
Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not
mix and use new and old batteries or different types of
batteries together. The batteries could rupture or leak,
causing fire, injury or stains around them.
Do not carry or store batteries together with small
metal objects. The batteries could short, causing leak,
rupture or other trouble.
•
•
•
Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them
in fire or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing
fire, injury or stains around them.
If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on
the battery case before inserting new batteries. If
the battery fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss
of eyesight. If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out
thoroughly with clean water without rubbing the eye
and then consult a doctor immediately. If the fluid
gets on a person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin
injuries or burns. If this should happen, wash it off with
clean water and then consult a doctor immediately.
The unit power should be off when you install and
replace batteries.
•
•
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit
for a long time. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing
fire, injury or stains around them. If the battery fluid
leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery compartment
before inserting new batteries.
Do not disassemble a battery. The acid inside the
battery could harm skin or clothing.

6 − Playback
In this chapter we explain the playback functions for audio files
stored on SD cards, CF cards and USB flash drives.
Selecting tracks
The following explanations assume that an SD card, CF card or
USB flash drive that contains an audio file is loaded in the unit,
that the unit is on and that the current media is set appropri-
If the play area has more than one track, you can either skip
backward or forward to the track or enter the track number
directly to select a track for playback.
Skipping to the previous or next track
Use the m[.]/,[/] buttons on the main unit or
remote control to skip tracks.
Playable file types
This unit can play files with the following formats.
WAV and BWF formats (wav extension)
(44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192kHz sampling frequency,
16/24-bit)
DSDIFF format (dff extension) (2.8224/5.6448MHz sampling
frequency)
•
Selecting tracks directly
On the BROWSEscreen, you can turn the MULTI JOG dial to
select a track, and press the PLAY button to start playing it.
•
•
DSF format (dsf extension) (2.8224/5.6448MHz sampling
frequency)
Searching backward and forward
You can search forward or backward in a track while listening to
the audio.
TIP
This unit can play back a file even if it did not record it if
the file is in one of the above formats. For example, if you
use a computer or another audio device to copy a file that
meets the above conditions to an SD card, CF card or USB
flash drive and load that media in this unit, playing that
file should be possible. In other words, you can efficiently
prepare materials for playback on this unit.
1. Play the desired track or put it into playback standby.
2. Press and hold the m[.]/,[/] button on the
front panel or remote control to start searching backward or
forward.
The usual backwards / forwards speed is 10x normal
playback, but during the a rerverse search, pressing the
m[.] button or during a forward search, pressing the
,[/] button again will increase the speed to 100x for
as long as that button is kept pressed.
Files and tracks
Audio data is saved on media in "files."
3. To stop searching, release the button you are holding.
The unit will return to the state it was in before searching
(playback standby or playback).
If the MODEitem on the CHANNELscreen is set to STEREO, one
stereo file will be used as one track. If set to MONOx2, two mono
files will be used as one track. (See “Setting the recording file
When explaining recording and playback in this manual,
we usually refer to audio files as "tracks" (or sometimes as
"songs"). We mainly use the term "files" when explaining media
management. In any case, these terms refer to the same thing.
NOTE
If you search forward to the end of a track, searching will
skip to the beginning of the next track and continue.
•
If you search forward to the end of the last track, the unit
will enter playback standby unless the repeat setting is ALL,
in which case searching will skip to the beginning of the first
track and continue. (See “Repeat playback” on page 41.)

Basic playback operations
This section explains basic operations including starting
playback, playback standby and stopping.
The following explanation assume that you have completed the
necessary connections, that the unit power is ON, the current
device is set, media containing audio files is loaded in that
device and the Home Screen is open.
If you search backward to the beginning of a track,
searching will skip to the end of the previous track and
continue.
If you search backward to the beginning of the first track,
the unit will enter playback standby unless the repeat
setting is ALL, in which case searching will skip to the end of
the last track and continue. (See “Repeat playback” on page

7 – Recording/playback with cascade connections
Overview of the cascade function
Connections and preparations
Using the cascade connection capability of the DA-3000,
multiple DA-3000 units can be controlled simultaneously.
A multichannel system can be realized by synchronizing
recording and playback.
Preparing media
When conducting synchronized recording and playback, use
identical media (same brand, capacity and model number) in
the master and slave units. Use of different media could cause
media access speed differences, resulting in synchronization
discrepancies and other unpredictable problems.
We have posted a list of media that we have confirmed for use

Selecting the media
Set the media for the devices (master and slave) to be cascaded.
Select the same type of media for all devices (CF or SD).
Recording and playback with cascade connections involves the
following two types of synchronization (timing and clock).
Timing synchronization
Depending on the cascade setting, slave units will
synchronize to the master unit when recording/playback
starts.
Preparing cables
Clock synchronization
Use high-quality digital coaxial cables (75Ω impedance) for
cascade connections. (Do not use analog RCA cables. Doing so
could cause malfunction.)
When using word clock, connect with high-quality BNC
cables(75Ω impedance).
During recording and playback, the internal clock of
the master unit or an external clock generator is used to
synchronize.
CAUTION
The following functions cannot be used during synchronized
recording/playback using cascade connections.
Setting the recording file format
The included RC-10 remote control cannot control slave
units.
•
•
•
When recording, set the master and slave units to use the same
recording file format. (Recording and playback is possible with
the units that are using different file formats and sampling
frequencies, but synchronization will not occur with sampling
PCM recording using the DIGITAL IN (AES/EBU) jacks is
