3.4 Example of systems with 3 DA-88s
This is a 24-track digital recording system that uses three DA-88Õs. The DA-88 can generate SMPTE
timecode and MTC by using the optional SY-88 SYNC card installed into the DA-88. By using the
MIDI connections between the WR-DA7 and the DA-88, it is possible to perform MMC (MIDI
Machine Control) from the WR-DA7. 
Method of connection 
With the DA7 powered OFF insert the WR-TDIF (option card) in Slot 1, 2, 3 of the WR-DA7 and
firmly fasten them to the console with...

DA-88 setting 
Since the DA-88 receives digital input data from the TDIF-1, press the DIGITAL IN switch on the
control panel. 
The machine ID number of the DA-88 is 0 for the wordclock master unit. These machine ID num-
bers are set at 0, 1, 2, and 3 using the rear rotary switch in the sequential order of the SYNC cable
connections attached from SYNC OUT to SYNC IN. 
(* For the DA-98 and 38, machine ID numbers are set at 1, 2, 3, 4 in the sequential order of the
connections.) 
Press the CHASE switch...
