Connections with other R-BUS devices

Connections with the VSR-880
Updating the system program
System program version 1.03 or later is required in order to connect and use the VSR-880 with the RPC-1. If your VSR880 has version 1.02 or earlier, the system program must be updated.

Connections with the VS-2480
Example settings
RPC-1 settings (in the Control Panel) � Master Clock: Int. Clock � Int.Clock Sample Rate: either 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96kHz

Checking the version
When the power is turned on, the lower line of the opening screen will show the version as (for example)�� Ver. 1.02 �.�

VS-2480 settings
� Master Clock: R-BUS

Updating the system program
The directory �UPDATE > VSR-880� in the included �DRIVER/UPDATE CD-ROM� contains the data for the update. Perform the update procedure as directed in the �readme.doc� file.

If you connect two RPC-1 units to a VS-2480, set the VS-2480 as the word clock master, and set each of the RPC-1�s as its slave. And then, turn the SW-1 on of each RPC-1. Notice that each RPC-1 must receive word clock from R-BUS. For details refer to p. 6 �Names of Things and what they do� and p. 17 �Using multiple RPC-1 units.�

Example settings
RPC-1 settings (in the Control Panel) � Master Clock: Int. Clock � Int. Clock Sample Rate: either 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz (match the setting of the VSR-880) VSR-880 settings � Master Clock: R-BUS � System PRM � RBUSMute: Disable* � Execute Shutdown([SHIFT]+[SHUT/EJECT/(STOP)]) whenever you change RBUSMute. * RBUSMute is a parameter that was newly added in version 1.03 in order to support the RPC-1. If you are connecting an earlier R-BUS device, set RBUSMute=Enable. If you are using a sampling frequency of 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz, it is not possible to use a clock cable to synchronize multiple RPC-1 units. Supply the word clock via R-BUS.

If you are using a sampling frequency of 88.2 or 96 kHz, using a five meter R-BUS cable (RBC-5) may cause noise to occur. If you are using a frequency of 88.2 or 96 kHz, use shorter cable.

The RBUSMute parameter applies to the entire system; not to an individual song.

In order to use the VSR-880�s R-BUS input, each input of the input mixer must be set to R-BUS. For details, refer to �Channel condition� on p. 79 in the �VSR-880 owner�s manual.�

If you wish to output each track of the VSR-880 to a separate channel, go to [LEVEL/BALANCE] � (Parameter)[|>|>] x9 and set �MST Direct Out = On.�
