Section 1 Introduction DTR-90 Operation Manual
1.1 About the DTR-90
The DTR-90 is a 4-head professional R-DAT (Digital Audio Tape) recorder
which conforms to the basic format established by the EIAJ/DAT Conference.
The DTR-90 utilizes two digital audio channels and one sub code channel
which is used for time code recording/reproducing (with Time Code option,
or DTR-80T). Furthermore, with the optional CB-149 R-DAT Editor, two DTR-
30s (with Memory Start and Edit Memory options) can be used for edit
operations.
The DTR-90 is available in the following two models:
DTR-90 Standard Version
DTR-90T Time Code Version
Features
+ R-DAT Standard Format: The DTR-90 conforms to the basic format
established by the EIAJ/DAT Conference and offers complete electrical and
tape compatibility with other R-DAT machines including consumer R-DAT
machines.
* Five Sampling Frequencies: Recording is possible at 32 kHz, 44.056 kHz
(for Laser Disc post-production), 44.1 kHz, 47.952 kHz (for HDTV post-
production), and 48 kHz.
+ After Monitoring (Read After Write): As the DTR-90 utilizes a 4-Head
mechanism, a signal recorded in Assemble mode can be monitored by the
reproducing head.
+ Punch-In/Out Recording: Punch-in/out recording for each audio channel
can be performed using the 4-head mechanism.
+ Pitch Control: The pitch contro! range is +12.5% (one wholetone) for
each sampling frequency mode and can be displayed in Percent/Semitone.
+ Time Code Synchronization (optional): When the ZA-42E-S Time Code
option is installed in the DTR-90 (or when using the DTR-90T), the sub code
area of the tape can be utilized for time code recording/reproducing. The
DTR-90 can then be operated in synchronization with other equipment such
as VTRs.
+ Adjustable Crossfade Time and Two Crossfade Curves: Punch-in and
punch-out crossfade time can be adjusted from 5 to 1,500 milliseconds. In
addition to a “linear” crossfade, a “logarithmic” crossfade curve has been
provided for more natural transition when recording music programs.
+ Memory Start Function (optional): When the Memory Start option (PB-
AVLAS) is installed in the DTR-90, audio signals to be played next can be
read into the memory to shorten the start-up time. When playing, first the
audio signal from the memory is played and then the signals from the tape
will be played.
‚+ Spot Erase Function (optional): When the Memory Start option (PB-
AVLAS) is installed in the DTR-90, audio signals to be edited can be read into
memory, then the spot erase operation can be rehearsed from the memory.
NOTE: In order to perform the memory start or spot erase operation, time code (or
absolute time) must be recorded on the tape.
1-2 July 1992
DTR-90 Operation Manual
Section 1 Introduction
+ Shuttie/Memory Jog Function: “Shuttle” is provided as a standard
function. “Memory Jog” can be operated when the Memory Start option is
installed in the DTR-90.
¢ Removahl2 Control Panel: The control panel can be detached from the
DTR-90 and can he used as a remote controller.
NOTE: When using the optional Remote Adapter (CB-508-S), the cable of the control
panel can be extended.
+ Status/Condition Indicators: The status/condition Indicators display the
status/condition of the various DTR-90 functions in an easy-to-understand
format.
+ Bar Graph Peak Meters: The 30-LED bar graph peak meters feature Peak
Hold and Auto Reset function. There is an overload indicator for each channel
for optimum level setting. Also, the peak meters can be operated in Expand
mode for more precise level setting.
+ Active Balanced Input/Output: The active balanced input and output
circuitry has been proven in a wide range of other Otari products.
+ Selectable Digital Interface: The DTR-90 is equipped with a digital
interface unit which contains a 2 channel TYPE | (AES/EBU) and TYPE ||
(SPDIF) digital interface.
+ Otari Standard Parallel 1/0: The DTR-90 has an Otari standard parallel 1/0
port, and also an RS-422 serial 1/0 port and a broadcast paralle! 1/0 port. The
RS-422 interface is changeable to an RS-232C interface unit (ZA-96Y-S).
+ CB-149 Optional R-DAT Editor (optional): By using the CB-149 R-DAT
Editor, two DTR-90s can be used for digital sound editing.
+ Video Editor Support: The DTR-90 can be controlled from external
controliers such as video editors connected to the RS-422 serial 1/0.

Section 1 Introduction DTR-90 Operation Manual
1.2 About this Manual
This manual is intended for use with both of the models of the DTR-90 Series.
Where any differences exist between the DTR-90T and DTR-90, those
differences will be explained fully in context.
1.2.1 Organization
This manual is divided into four sections as follows.
Section 1 Introduction contains general information about the machine and
about the manual.
Section 2 Installation contains the information required when unpacking
and installing the DTR-90 for the first time or when interfacing the machine
to a mixing console or other equipment. This section also contains
information for customizing the DTR-90.
Section 3 Controls and Indicators contains a keyed guide to the controls
and indicators and provides detailed information about each control and its
functions. This section should be used whenever a question about the
function of a particular control or indicator arises.
Section 4 Operation describes the operation of the DTR-90 as related to
recording or playback.
Section 5 Exploded View Drawings and Parts Lists contains assembly
drawings of the machine “exploded” to show intemal parts, hardware, and
the order of assembly. Each drawing is keyed to a Parts List containing the
Otari part number for each mechanical component.
1.2.2 Conventions within this Manual
This manual uses the following notation:
Buttons, Switches PLAY BUTTON Or Joc Diat
soft Keys OPE xey or ON xey
Indicators, LED lamps SERVO invicaror or SHUTTLE/JOG шо
Modes PLAY MODE Or STOP MODE
Buttons, switches and modes are labeled as such only when necessary for
clarity. The buttons controlling transport modes such as Play, Stop, or
Record are graphically labeled on the button tops rather than being labeled
on the DTR-90. This manual uses the name or the graphical symbol on the
button top, when describing these buttons.

Rack Angle Installation
Choose a level and wel! ventilated location for installing the DTR-90. To prevent
the DTR-80 from malfunctioning, please avoid placing it in a location that is
subject to extreme cold/hot, strong magnetic fields, or heavy vibrations.
¢ Regarding Dew Condensation: When moving the DTR-90 between areas
where there is a large difference in temperature, or when using it in a damp
location or just after the heat has been turned on, condensation can easily
take place. If, due to condensation, drops of water form on the drum head,
there is a danger that the tape may adhere te the head and that the tape and
machine may become damaged. If there is a possibility of condensation
developing, do not leave a cassette in the DTR-90. If the machine will not be
used for a period of time, be sure that no cassette is left in the machine. If
the DTR-90 must be used in conditions where condensation is likely to occur,
turn the machine on at least one hour before use.
* Installing in a 19 Inch Rack: Using Rack Angles Brackets (standard
accessory: KZ3A171), the DTR-90 can be mounted in a standard 19 inch
rack. There are many ways to rack mount the DTR-90. The following
instructions describe installation of the DTR-90 using slide rails. By using
slide rails, the DTR-90 can be moved in and out in the rack so that
maintenance and cabling can be performed easily.
CAUTION: It is not possible to mount the DTR-90 in a rack with the Rack Angle
Brackets only. Use slide rails or other stands to reinforce the Rack Angle Brackets.
And, for ventilation, be sure to aliow a clearance of at least 1 U between the DTR-90
and other equipment.
1. Attach the Brackets (Accuride Model 5355 or equivalent) inside the rack.

[J Selecting Standard Recording Level: The standard recording level (SRL)
of the DTR-90 can be selected from four settings: -12 dB, -15 dB, -18 dB,
and -20 dB.
1. Set the four jumper sockets — JS102 (CH1 record), 15202 (CH2 record),
15103 (CH1 repro.), JS203 (CH2 repro.) — to the desired level.
2. Set SWI so that it matches the settings of the jumper sockets.
The setting of WI determines the display of the SRL moxaror and the display of the
Peax Mer in EXPAND MODE.
A B SRL
0 0 -12 dB
0 1 -15 dB
1 0 -18 dB
1 1 -20 dB
[J Adjusting Input/Output Level: Standard input/output leve! of the DTR-90
can be adjusted in a range of -20 - +10 dBu.
1. If the standard input/output level of the studio is in the range of -5 — +10
dBu, set the jumper sockets JS101 and J$201 to the “0” position. If the
level is in the range of -20 - -5 dBu, set them to the “+15” position.
2. Feed a sine wave signal at 1 kHz (997 Hz) into the ANALOG-INPUT connector at
the standard input level. Connect an AC voltmeter to the ANALOG—OUTPUT
CONNECTOR.
3. Turn on the power to the DTR-90 and set the sampling frequency to 48
kHz or 44.1 kHz, then select analog input mode.
4. Press the SAL xers on the front pane! so that the SRL wos illuminate.
9. Adjust R101 (CH1 input) and VR201 (CH2 input) so that the Peax Meter
indicates the standard recording level.
The SRL morcwror illuminates at the SAL.
6. Set the Peak Meters to ExPAND MODE and adjust the input level precisely.
While in EXPAND MODE, the Exrano Move inpicaror blinks to indicate the SRL.
7. Using an AC voltmeter, measure the output signal from the
ANALOG-OUTPUT convectors and adjust VR102 (CH1 output) and VR202 (CH2
output) on the AUDIO a assemewy until the AC voltmeter reads the standard
level of your studio.
[J Analog Output Mode Selection: The output mode of the analog audio
signals can be selected between balanced and unbalanced by setting the 15104
(CH1) and JS105 (CH2).

2.4.16 Time Code Output Level Setting
The output level of the time code signals can be changed in a range of 1 Vp-p
to 4 Vp-p. (factory setting: 2 Vp-p) An oscilloscope is required to adjust the
time code output level.
The time code output level is adjusted on the TIME CODE rc assevsiy (PB-4VKA).
To access the TIME CODE pes assemsty, the bottom panel of the DTR-90 must be
opened. When opening the bottom panel, turn off the power to the DTR-90,
remove the control pane! and its cable, lay the DTR-90 on a table on its side,
and remove the four screws securing the bottom pane! to the chassis. Refer
to Figure 2-15.

Figure 2-15
Opening the Bottom Panel
1. Connect an oscilloscope to the (P18 on the TIME CODE pes assemsty and then
turn on the power to the DTR-90. Refer to Figure 2-16.
2. Play a tape on which a time code signal is recorded, or start the internal
time code generator.
3. Adiust YRI so that the amplitude of the (P18 signal is as half the actual
time code level. (Ex.. (P18: 0.5 Vp-p => output: 1 Vp-p)
4. When completed, turn off the power and disconnect the oscilloscope.

+ About R-DAT Cassettes
[J Use only R-DAT cassette tapes.
(3 R-DAT cassettes have a lid (cover) to prevent the accumulation of dust
or dirt on the surface of the tape. Do not open this forcibly, and never
touch the surface of the tape. If the tape should become damaged due to
careless handling, loss of sound quality and an increase in dropouts may
be observed.
CO R-DAT cassettes have sliding safety tabs to prevent accidental erasure.
When the tab of the cassette is open, recording is not possible with that
cassette. The status of the safety tab will be displayed in the start-up
screen.

4.4.10 Chase Sync Mode Settings
The following settings are available when the Time Code option (ZA-42E-S) is
installed in the DTR-90 or when using the DTR-90T.
+ Chase Sync Mode: When the Time Code option is installed, the DTR-90
can be operated in CHASE SYNC MODE. When operating the DTR-90 in CHASE
SYNC MODE, connect the master time code and external reference signal, and
then press the CHASE xev on the control panel. While in CHase SYnc mon, the
CHASE tp flashes and the DTR-90 chases the master device until the address of
the slave time code (time code from the tape) is the same as that of the
master time code, with any desired offset taken into account.
When Auto CHASE MODE is ÓN, the DTR-90 remains in CHASE SYNC MODE after
the addresses are matched and the speed of the DTR-90 is controlled by the
synchronizer to keep the addresses matched. When Auto CHASE MODE is OFF,
the DTR-90 releases CHASE SYnc MODE and is locked to the external reference
signal. The CHASE SYnc MoDE can be released by pressing the illuminated CHASE
key (or by pressing the STOP suTTON).
CAUTION: When utilizing the DTR-90 in CHASE SYNC MODE, skip 1D operation and start
ID standby operation should not be enabled. If these functions are enabled, the DTR-
90 fast winds or stops the tape when skip or start IDs are detected during CHASE SYNC
MODE. (=r§4.7.8) Also, the video sync playback function must be set to OFF when
using the DTR-90 in CHASE SYnc MODE. (=82.4.10)

IMPORTANT NOTICE — ABOUT HEAD CLEANING
It is essential to periodically clean the drum heads. if the heads become
contaminated with tape oxide or dust, proper playback and recording may vecome
adversely affected. Using a commercially available R-DAT cleaning tape, clean the
heads after approximately 30 hours of use. To clean the heads, insert the cleaning
tape and place the DTR-90 into PLay mope for approximately 10 seconds. Be sure to
use only a cleaning tape designed for cleaning R-DAT recorders. Using cotton swabs
or any other method of cleaning could permanently damage the heads.
IMPORTANT NOTICE — ABOUT SUB CODES
To achieve stable operation, make a recorded portion with no signal for at least 5
seconds from the beginning of the tape and then start recording. If sub codes are
written in this section, these signals may not be erased or re-written.
4.5.1 Recording Procedure
1. Confirm that the following items are set properly.
Sampling Frequency Selection (=r §4.4.1)
Reference Clock Signa! Selection (sr §4.4.2)
Input Mode Selection (er 84.4.3)
Digital Interface Selection (=r §4.4.4)

2. Select the recording mode.
(3 ASSEMBLE MODE: for recording all channels (=r §4.5.2)
OO INSERT MODE: for recording the selected channel(s) (sr §4.5.3)
3. Start recording.
+ Digital Recording: When recording from a digital source, the sampling
frequency setting of the DTR-90 must be the same as the sampling frequency
of the external source signal. The word sync signal, external reference clock
signal, and digital input signal can be set as the reference signal of the DTR-
90. (= §4.4.2)
+ Sub Code Recording: When recording starts from the beginning of the
tape, absolute time will be recorded automatically in the sub code area of the
tape. If a recording is started from a non-recorded section in the middle of
the tape, absolute time will not be recorded. (When the Time Code option is
installed, both time code and absolute time will be recorded on the tape.)
And, In accordance with the setting, a start ID can be recorded automatically
at the punch-in point. (= $4.7.8)
+ Recording Time Code Signal: When the Time Code option (ZA-42E-S) is
installed in the DTR-90, or when using the DTR-90T, the sub code area can
be utilized for time code recording/reproducing Time code must be recorded
with no breaks from the beginning of the tape. If the time code is
discontinuous, search or edit operations may not be performed correctly.

4.5.2 Assemble Recording
While in ASSEMBLE MODE, all tracks will be recorded when the DTR-90 enters
RECORD MODE. The DTR-90 should be operated in ASSEMBLE MODE when
recording on an unused cassette or to record continuing from an already
recorded portion of the tape. While recording, audio signals from CH1/2, a
time code signal from TC channel, and absolute time will be recorded.

When the roll back stop function is activated, the DTR-90 rewinds the tape for a
few seconds and stops to prepare for the next recording. (=r 82.4.9)
+ After Monitoring (Read After Write): As the DTR-90 utilizes a 4-head
mechanism, it is possible to reproduce the just recorded signals during
assemble recording. To monitor the recorded signal, press the TAPE evs of the
desired channel and select TAPE MONITOR MODE,
+ Using a Recorded Tape: When recording on an already recorded tape,
make sure not to leave a non-recorded section between the recorded
sections. If a non-recorded section exists, the ATF signal (automatic track
finding signal), sub codes, and time data signals become discontinuous and
some operations cannot be performed normally on that tape.
* Changing Recording Modes: When recording on an already recorded
tape, the sampling frequency is automatically set to that of the signal on the
tape, because the R-DAT recorder reads the information required for playback
from the tape when a cassette is inserted. If necessary, the sampling
frequency can be changed. See §4.4.1.

Section 4 Operation
DTR-90 Operation Manual
4.7 Sub Code Operations
When using an R-DAT system, together with the audio signal and time code
signal, various sub codes can also be recorded on the tape. The sub codes
are divided into two categories, 1D (identification) data (start IDs, skip IDs,
and end IDs) and information data (program numbers, TOC data, absolute
time). These sub codes can even be recorded on a tape which already has
audio and time code data recorded on it without affecting that data. The sub
codes can then be used for convenient operations such as locating any song
or program material, skipping unnecessary sections of tape, displaying the
program time, etc.
4.7.1 About Sub Codes
OJ Start 1D: Since this signal can be detected in FAST WIND MODE, it will be
useful to write this 10 at any spot to be searched for at a later stage. For
example, by writing a start ID at the beginning of a song, the starting point of
the song can easily be located. The DTR-90 can be set in advance to stop the
tape when a start ID is detected during playback or after the skip operation,
and also can be set to write a start ID where an assemble recording starts.
[J Skip 1D: This signal can be written at any arbitrary point throughout a
song or after program material. This signal is detected only in PLAY MODE.
If a skip ID is detected during playback, the tape will fast wind up to the next
start ID. This can be useful to bypass sections you do not want to listen to.
The skip operation can be set to be enabled/disabled in advance. The DTR-90
can be set in advance to stop/playback the tape after the skip operation.
LJ End ID: This signal shows where a recording or playback finishes. This ID
can be detected in FAST WIND MODE. When re-recording on a tape that has
been previously recorded, if an end 1D is written at the end of the recorded
section, it is easy to locate the point from which recording can start.
D Program Number: Together with a start ID, a program number can also
be written on the tape to indicate the number of the program. Since this
signal can be detected in FAST WIND MODE, it is possible to locate the starting
point of a song or program material by specifying the number of the
program.
O TOC Data: This signal is recorded only at the beginning of the tape. The
TOC (table of contents) data contains various data such as the first program
number, the start time of each program, the last program number, etc.
search time can be shortened when a tape includes TOC data.
NOTE: When new program material is recorded on a tape on which TOC data has
already been written, be sure to rewrite the TOC data. If the TOC data does not match
the contents of the tape, search operations may not be performed correctly.
[J Absolute Time: When a tape is recorded from the beginning, absolute
time is automatically recorded on the tape starting from zero. When starting
to record in the middle of a tape, the DTR-90 reads the absolute time which
has already been recorded, and automatically records new absolute time
starting from where the previous absolute time stopped.

CN?
When the MEMORY START 2e assemeur (PB-4VLAS) is installed in the DTR-90, the
memory start and spot erase functions become operable. By using the
memory start function, play start-up time can be shortened by loading an
audio signal into the memory and playing it first. And by using the spot erase
function, the signals to be erased can be pinpointed in the memory and then
Spot erase can be executed by writing digital zero data at the specified
section. When an audio signal is transferred into memory, the memory jog
function allows the signal stored in memory to be monitored at a speed that
depends on the rotation of the Joc DAL.
NOTE: In order to actually perform the memory start or spot erase operation, the time
code (or absolute time) signal must be recorded on the tape.
NOTE: When installing the EDIT MEMORY pcs asseusty together with the MEMORY START ras
ASSEMBLY, the PCB assembties must be connected to each other before installing them
into the DTR-90. (=r §B.3.2)
1. Turn off the power to the DTR-90.
