  TASCAM  DA-40  

 

Use this switch to select the sampling frequency 
(44.1 or 48 kHz) when making analog recordings. 
When making digital recordings, the sampling fre-
quency is automatically detected.

When playing back tapes that have already been 
recorded, this switch has no effect. The sampling fre-
quency of a recorded tape is fixed, and cannot be 
changed. 

 

When making long play recordings, settings 
made with this switch have no effect. The 

 

sampling frequency is fixed at 32 kHz.

 

The left (

 

) and center (

 

) positions of 

this switch allow the selection between the unbal-
anced RCA jacks or the balanced XLR jacks 
respectively.

The right (

 

) position allows the selection of 

the digital input jacks.

 

When the 

 

 switch 

 

 is set to the 

 

 

position, this switch is used to choose between the 
RCA 

 

 and the XLR 

 

 digital 

audio input sources.

 

Despite the name of the switch setting and 
the connectors (

 

), the XLR connec-

tors are capable of receiving SPDIF format 
input, and the RCA 

 

 connectors are 

capable of receiving AES/EBU format. The 
tape deck will automatically detect the input 

 

format and adjust itself accordingly.

 

When the 

 

 

 

, this 

switch is used to select between 

 

 and 

 

. 

 

  means that the analog signal source works 

at an uncalibrated nominal level which is neither 
+4 dBu nor –10 dV, requiring the use of the input 
level controls to adjust the recording level.

The 

 

 position is for use with analog sources 

which are calibrated to use either the standard 

+4 dBu or the –10 dBV level as a nominal level. The 
input level controls are not used in this case. 

 

If this switch is set to the 

 

 position, make 

sure that no parts of the program material will 

 

cause clipping.

 

When recording from analog sources with the 

 

 

 

, these 

controls adjust the level of the input signal to the left 
and right tape tracks.

They have no effect when the switch is set to the 

 

 position, or when recording from a digital 

audio source.

 

Any standard pair of stereo headphones may be 
plugged into this 1/

 

4

 

-inch jack, and the level adjusted 

with the rotary control.

 

The following keys provide control of the tape trans-
port, recording modes, etc. Please read this section 
carefully if you are not sure of transport operations 
using the tape deck. 

 

These keys are used to move the tape forward or 
backward by a certain number of programs.

 

A “program” on a DAT cassette starts with a 
START ID marker. The audio portion of the 
data recorded on a DAT cassette is not used 

 

to determine the division into tracks.

 

Repeated presses of these keys will move the tape 
forwards or backwards by the appropriate number of 
programs (pressing the skip forward key once will 
move the tape to the beginning of the next program, 
etc.).

While the tape is locating, the display will show 
(flashing on the right) the number of programs which 
must still be passed, and (on the left) the current pro-
gram number:
