Tascam DP-02 User Manual

The operations described here are ones that you may use 
less often than the ones described earlier in this manual, 
but you will find useful in your work with the unit.

This section tells you how to jump around to different 
parts of a song on the unit.

The unit displays the current position at the top of the 
display as hours:minutes:seconds:frames. There are 30 
frames in a second.

NOTE

From the “home screen” when the unit is stopped, turn the 

DATA dial

, so that the top time display blinks.

Use the 

 and 

 cursor keys to move the underline cursor 

between the different fields of the time shown at the top of 
the screen. In this case, the frame field is selected.

To change the value of the underlined field, use the 

DATA 

dial

. Fields “wrap round”, so going from 59 seconds to 0 

seconds adds 1 to the minutes, etc. As you turn the 

DATA 

dial

, the frame field blinks. If you leave the 

DATA dial

 

untouched for a few seconds, or if you press 

YES/ENTER

, 

the display stops blinking.

If you want to edit another field, use the cursor keys to 
move to that field and then use the 

DATA dial

 to get to the 

time you’re looking for.

Press 

PLAY

 (

) to start playback from the position whose 

value has just been entered.

The unit can store up to 999 location marks per song! Use 
these to mark the start of verses, vocal entry points, etc.

While stopped, recording or playing, press and hold the 

SHIFT

 key and press the 

INSERT

 key at the point where 

you want the new mark.

Marks are shown on the display on the second line of the 
“home” screen. The mark number you see is the one at or 
immediately before the current position In the example 
below, “M023” indicates the twenty-third mark in the 
selected song.

NOTE

Press and release the 

 or 

 keys to move to the previ-

ous or next mark in the song. This works while playing 
back, while stopped or “winding”, but not while recording.

Alternatively, press and hold both 

LOCATE LIST

 keys 

togather to show the location mark list:

Use the 

DATA 

dial or the cursor (

/

) keys to choose a 

mark (they’re listed in the order they appear in the song) 
and press 

YES/ENTER

 to jump to that mark.

Stop playback (or recording) and locate to the mark you 
want to delete (or a little after). Press and hold the 

SHIFT

 

key and press the 

DELETE

 key.

NOTE

If you made a mistake when you entered a location mark, 
you can change the time of the mark.
