You can do this with the HDR24/96 powered on or powered off, it doesn’t matter. 1. Plug the supplied 25' cable into the “To HDR” jack on the back of the Remote 24. 2. Plug the other end into the “Remote” jack on the back of the HDR24/96. Footswitch User’s Guide Plug It In A must-have for performer-engineers: use a footswitch to punch in and out on-the-fly, stop and start the transport, jump to the next cue, create new cues, or select the next take.
Remote 24 Transport Features REWIND FAST FWD STOP PLAY RECORD Play Play puts the HDR24/96 into play. Play also punches out of record and cancels master record standby. Stop Stop brings the “tape” to an immediate halt. Stop also punches out of record and cancels master record standby. Fast Wind Rewind and Fast Forward put the HDR24/96 into fast wind mode from any state.
Record Ready Recording can only take place on tracks which are “armed” for recording. Press the Record Ready buttons to arm tracks. When Record is engaged, you can punch individual tracks in and out on the fly with the Record Ready buttons. Their LEDs blink in standby and glow in record. 1 13 Record Safe Record Safe disarms all tracks and disables the Record Ready and master Record buttons. Use Record Safe to prevent users from inadvertently recording over existing audio.
Remote 24 Locator Features Locate 1 2 LOCATE 3 4 LOCATE STORE Locate points provide fast access to frequently used locations in your project. Press one of the four Locate buttons to jump to a Locate point. Store To set a Locate point, press Store, then press a Locate button when the transport reaches the desired time. STORE Loop Locate 1 and Locate 2 double as start and end points for looped playback. To enable loop play, press Loop. Playback cycles between the two Loop points.
User’s Guide Rehearse Rehearse allows you to practice punching without actually recording anything to disk, saving you the hassle of deleting unwanted takes while monitoring and finetuning Autopunch points. REHEARSE Take Management Features Take Select TAKE Each track has eight “virtual” takes that you can record to and play from. Take Select sets the active take for the selected track.
Remote 24 Delete Last Press the Delete Last button twice to erase the most recent recording pass from disk. A recording pass consists of all punches made within one play cycle. If you press Delete Last once then decide not to delete, wait five seconds and the operation will cancel. DELETE LAST Current Time Display Current Time TAKE TRACK NUMBER The Take and Track Number displays show Current Time whenever Play is held or the AUTO TAKE transport is in fast forward or rewind.
If you think your Remote 24 has a problem, try the following: Make sure the cable is plugged into the “Remote” jack on the rear panel of the HDR24/96 - the “Remote” jack is easy to confuse with the Ethernet jack. Remove and reinstall the cable, reboot the HDR24/96, and/or replace the Remote 24 cable (available at computer supply stores). User’s Guide Troubleshooting & Warranty Service Be sure you are not using a CAT-5 crossover cable (usually known by its yellow color and always labled “Crossover”).
