how to use the DA-98 with timecode, see 10, 
“Operations related to timecode”.
The two XLR timecode connectors [37] carry bal-
anced signals with the following polarity:
However, unbalanced signals may be used, with 
only pins 1 and 2 connected. 
The 
TIMECODE OUT
 connector either transmits 
internally-generated timecode or re-shaped or re-
generated timecode echoed from the 
TIMECODE 
IN
 connector.
4.2.2 Video connections
This pair of BNC connectors [38] is used to pro-
vide video frame reference clocking when the 
DA-98 is used with video equipment.
The front panel 
CLOCK
 switch [30] is used to 
change between clock sources, and should be set 
to 
VIDEO
 when synchronizing to video sync.
Connect the 
VIDEO IN
 connector of the DA-98 to 
the VIDEO OUT of a video unit. This signal 
should be a 1 Vp-p composite signal.
If other equipment (such as other DTRS units) 
also need the video frame reference clock, the sig-
nal received at the 
VIDEO IN
 is echoed at the 
VIDEO THRU
 connector.
If the DA-98 is the last unit in the chain of video 
equipment, there is no need to terminate it, as this 
circuit is self-terminating.
For details of how the DA-98 can be synchronized 
to video frame information, see 11.1.1, “Video 
clocking”.
4.2.3 Word clock connections
This set of BNC connectors [39] is used to syn-
chronize the DA-98 to other digital audio devices.
The front panel 
CLOCK
 switch (page 2-3) is used 
to change between clock sources, and should be 
set to 
WORD
 when synchronizing to an external 
word clock.
The 
IN
 jack should be connected to the WORD 
SYNC OUT of the digital audio device from 
which the DA-98 is to receive the synchronization 
clock.
Note the difference between the 
OUT
 and the 
THRU
 connectors. 
OUT
 is used to carry word clock 
signals generated by the DA-98, and 
THRU
 is used 
to echo the signals received at 
IN
If the DA-98 is the last unit in the chain of video 
equipment, there is no need to terminate it, as this 
circuit is self-terminating.
Also note that if the DA-98 is connected to other 
DTRS units, the 
WORD SYNC
 jacks do not need to 
be connected between the DTRS units.
4.3 Control connections
4.3.1 RS-422 connector
This connector is used to connect the DA-98 to 
other controllers or editors which will control the 
DA-98 using the Sony P2 protocol, or a bus proto-
col, such as that used by the TASCAM ES-61. 
If you are in doubt about the compatibility of such 
a device, please consult TASCAM or your TAS-
CAM dealer, who will be able to advise you.
The DA-98 can emulate (through software control 
accessed through menu 6) a number of devices for 
compatibility with almost any controller. See 
11.1.2, “Emulation” for details.
Full details of control using this connector are 
given in 11.1, “Use with 9-pin external control”.
4.3.2 MIDI connectors (IN , OUT and 
THRU)
These standard 5-pin DIN MIDI connectors [41] 
are used to carry MIDI Time Code (MTC) and 
MIDI Machine Control (MMC) information
