8289643000 (478776) Model PD606 Owner's Manual With the software upgrade to V1.10, the PD606 now supports ES bus. Accordingly, the "RS422 SETUP" menu in the MENU mode is now available, while the "Default file name" item in the SYS SETUP menu of the MENU mode has been expanded. In addition, the new version provides the interpolation facility for the internal TC generator in the Free Run mode, as well as you can now cancel post recording. Note that this document only describes the functions upgraded with version 1.10, therefore, please read it together with the original and supplementary manuals. 1 Table of contents Default file name menu item ............................................................................................3 Accessing the "Add Machine ID" item ....................................................................................3 Setting item details ....................................................................................................................3 RS422 SETUP menu .........................................................................................................4 Accessing the RS422 menu ......................................................................................................4 Setting item details ....................................................................................................................4 ES master/slave control function ...................................................................................6 Displays of the ES master and ES slave ...................................................................................6 Commands issued from the master unit to the slave unit(s) ..............................................6 Applications ...............................................................................................................................8 1.

Because the PD606 V1.10 supports ES bus, you can connect multiple PD606 units (or the PD606 with PD204 or DV824) in the ES bus system. When you start recording of multiple machines in the ES bus system, this item prevents creating an audio file with the same name on each unit. By setting this item to "On", a device ID is automatically added before the file extension of each file name. So even if you make recording of multiple units simultaneously, a unique file name is given to each audio file. While the unit is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key followed by the [ENTER/YES] key to enter the MENU mode. Highlight "SYS SETUP" and press the [ENTER/YES] key to bring up the SYS SETUP menu screen. Highlight "Default file name" and press the [ENTER/YES] key to bring up the Default file name setting screen as shown below. You can see the newly added "Add Machine ID" item. (Note that, in the original owner's manual, the screen before the version upgrade is shown.)

By highlighting "Add Machine ID: **" and pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, the currently selected setting starts flashing and you can now make on/off setting (the default is "Off"). When you set it to "On", the device ID is added to the file name and displayed on the Home screen (see the next page). The setting is stored to the Flash ROM. · SCENE NAME By highlighting "SCENE NAME:" and pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, you can enter a scene name using the numeric keys, [MENU] dial or a USB keyboard. The length of a scene name must be within 17 characters. See page 140 of the original manual for details about how to edit a name. · TAKE NUMBER By pressing the [ENTER/YES] key after entering a scene name, you can enter a take number using the numeric keys, [MENU] dial or a USB keyboard. By default, the take number is "001". A take number is used as a part of a file name when the file name mode is set to "Take", as well as used as take data of meta data in any file name modes. When new recording is made, the number increases by one. See page 140 of the original manual for details. 3 RS422 SETUP menu With the software upgrade to V1.10, the PD606 now supports ES bus and the "RS422 SETUP" menu in the MENU mode is available. You can record or play back multiple PD606 units (or the PD606 with PD204 or DV824) simultaneously via the RS422 connection.

Select the "RS422 SETUP" menu and press the [ENTER/YES] key to bring up the RS422 setup screen. · RS422 Mode This item selects the control mode via the RS422 port.

A Home screen example when the ES Device ID is set to "01" A Home screen example when the ES Device ID is set to "03" · For the purposes of identification, it is recommended that each master or slave device controlled via ES-bus should have a unique device ID. · To add a device ID to each file name when you control master and slave units via ES-bus, you must set the "Add Machine ID" item in the "Default file name" setting screen for the master unit to "On". 5 ES master/slave control function The ES master/slave control function allows making simultaneous recording/playback of all slave PD606 units from a master PD606. In order to make it possible, all ES master and slave units must receive the same word clock or video sync clock and lock to the sync signal (or all slave units must lock to the word clock from the master unit). If they are not locking to the same clock, the master and slave units may run out of sync. The PD606 guarantees that the deviation between master and slave units is within 1 ppm. : In the ES-bus connection, one-master, one-slave configuration is ideal. However, you can connect multiple (two or three) slave units without any malfunction. Displays of the ES master and ES slave ES master: When the unit is assigned to the ES master and stopped, "-ES MASTER-" is shown in the file name display area on the Home screen. Note that, when the unit is in pause or record mode, the next file name (or the currently recorded file name) is shown. ES slave: When the unit is assigned to an ES slave and configured in the ES bus system, "-ES GRP SELECTED-" is shown in the file name display area on the Home screen. Commands issued from the master unit to the slave unit(s) PLAY key STOP key "Instant Play" command All ES master and ES slave units start playback from the same address at the same timing. "Stop" and "Set Song Position" or "Instant Locate" commands In stop or pause mode: "Bus Select" and "Standby ON" commands The ES master issues the Bus select command and all slave units are bus-connected via the Sony P2 protocol and enter the pause mode. In any modes except in stop and pause modes: "Stop" and "Set Song Position" or "Instant Locate" commands PAUSE key ABS 0 LOCATE ABS END LOCATE "Instant Locate" command "Instant Locate" command 6 REC key "Set New File Name" and "Instant Rec" commands The ES master unit sends the same file name or the file name with each ES device ID to each ES slave units. "Set LTC Start Position" command Immediately after recording starts, the ES master unit sends the same LTC start position to all ES slave units. CUE key LOCATE key "Instant Locate" command (CUE search) The key operation is only effective during playback. "Instant Locate" command "False Start" command The ES slave units execute False start with the same false start mode as the ES master unit. "Load Song File" command (File Skip) "Instant Locate" command (CUE Skip) The key operation is only effective during playback. "Bus Select" and "Load Song File" commands The audio file in the ES master is selected, and before loading the file, all ES slave units are "Bus Select"ed and ES bus-connected via the Sony P2 protocol. Then the command for loading the same audio file name is issued to ES slave units and each unit loads the file. In this procedure, the "{Machine ID}" is converted to "**" (wild card) so a file with the same name but with a different ID is also loaded. If a file with the same file name does not exist in a slave unit, the ES-bus connection returns to the idle condition and the unit cannot receive commands from the ES master until it receives another Bus select command. "STOP" command ...
