1. Establish the record active condition by
depressing PLAY and RECORD together, then—
2.Depress one or both FUNCTION select
buttons and recording will commence. This
additional logic is provided when it is necessary
to hear a previously recorded signal up
to the “punch-in” point. If the FUNCTION
select buttons are OUT (safe) the tape signal
CAN appear at the output. If the FUNCTION
buttonsare IN (record ready) only new INPUT
signal can be auditioned and listening to the tape
to find a ‘’Cue’’ point for the punch-in will not
be possible. When you must listen to the tape, pre-
load the record logic and use the FUNCTION
buttons to begin the recording.
PAUSE Button
This button will stop the tape and the recording
process without disengaging the record logic, to
continue
recording,
just
press
the
play
(>
})
button alone. If a RECORD/PAUSE logic
condition is in effect, allowing this ‘‘one key’”’
return to record mode, the green and red LEDs
above the PAUSE and RECORD buttons will
light. f
@ RECORD Status Indicator
The red LED lights up when the deck has been
set into the record mode and begins blinking
if the FUNCTION buttons are not depressed.
@ PAUSE Status Indicator
The green LED lights only when PAUSE and
RECORD have been simultaneously pressed.
® Shut Off Arm
The shut off arm will drop power to the capstan
and reel motors if the tape breaks. It’s a good
idea to allow it to drop when you take a break
in the middle of a session. Doing this will stop
the constant rotation of the capstan, and will
lengthen the life of the capstan motor bearings.
It is not necessary to unthread the tape. Just
allow it to become slack so that the shut off arm
can drop.
@ Pinch Roller
@ Capstan Shaft
BACK PANEL
@ REMOTE Connector
Allows connection of the optional RC-71
Remote Control Unit.
@® Output Jacks
Output level is -10dB (0.3 V). Minimum load
impedance is 10k ohms (unbalanced).
@® LINE IN Jacks
Input level is -10 dB (0.3 V). Input impedance is
50k ohms (unbalanced).
@®DBX UNIT CONTROL SIGNAL Connector
This allows connection of the optional DX-2D
Noise Reduction Unit and supplies control signal
to the dbx unit to permit simultaneous encode/
decode dbx operation. Because of this “dual
process’’, no switching is required when you
change function from recording to playback.
The fact that there are separate sections for each
7
function will also allow “off the tape’ monitor-
ing when the dbx is used.
@ PUNCH IN/OUT REMOTE Connector
(RC-30P)
Allows connection of the optional RC-30P
TASCAM PUNCH IN/OUT REMOTE PEDAL.
@ AC Cord
*{|NPUT and OUTPUT levels
If you do not have access to any test equipment
or test tapes, a good working position for the
output controls would be position “‘7'’. From
that position, careful monitoring and experi-
mentation will help you determine the optimum
setting. The loudest peaks may briefly register
in the red zone, but the input levels should be
reduced if the deflection needles seem tO spend
a lot of time in the red zone. For information on
setting the correct input and output levels, see
“Calibration” on page 29.
