Tascam HD-R1 User Manual

Do not use any benzene, paint thinner, ethyl alcohol 

or other chemical agents to clean the unit as it could 

damage the surface. To clean the unit, wipe gently 

with a soft dry cloth.

The HD-R1 may be used in most areas, but to 

maintain top performance, and prolong operating 

life, observe the following notes, precautions and 

environmental conditions:

Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature 

• 

and humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and 

vibration.

Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields 

• 

(TV sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, 

etc.).

The nominal temperature should be between 5°C 

• 

and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).

Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.

• 

As the unit may become hot during operation, 

• 

always leave sufficient space above the unit for 

ventilation. Do not install this unit in a confined 

space such as a bookcase, and do not put anything 

on top of the unit.

Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-

• 

generating electrical device such as a power 

amplifier.

Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level 

• 

position for correct operation.

The voltage supplied to the unit should match 

• 

the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you 

are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an 

electrician.

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, 

or used after a sudden temperature change, there 

is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could 

condense on the internal mechanism, making correct 

operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, 

let the player sit for one or two hours at the new room 

temperature before using.

Compact Flash (CF) cards and USB storage devices 

are manufactured with precision. In order to prevent 

damage to the card, card slot, USB device or USB 

port, please observe the following precautions when 

handling them. 

Do not keep them in extremely hot or cold 

• 

environments. 

Do not keep them in extremely humid 

• 

environments. 

Do not get them wet. 

• 

Do not place things on top of them or twist them. 

• 

Do not strike or shock them. 

• 

Do not remove a CF card or USB storage device 

• 

during recording, playback, data transfer or other 

kind of access.

Use the supplied rack-mounting kit to mount the unit 

in a standard 19-inch rack, as shown below. Remove 

the feet of the unit before mounting.
