Tascam DP-008ex ユーザーズマニュアル

When working with any new piece of equipment like the unit, it’s sometimes difficult to work out with something 

isn’t happening the way you expect. The main thing is to take your time—after all, you’re not paying hourly 

studio rates! Stop and think. Ask yourself questions, like the ones below, and you can usually find the answer.
Also, see the “Messages Lists” section on page 84 for the meaning of messages that may pop up on the display. 

Consult this table when a message appears when an operation cannot be completed by the unit.

•  Are the LEVEL knobs of the tracks set to high 

enough?

•  Is the MASTER LEVEL knob set to high 

enough?

•  Have you properly connected the PHONE or 

LINE OUT jack to headphones or an external 

monitoring system (powered monitor speakers 

or an amplifier and speakers)? 

Is the external monitoring system set up 

correctly?

•  Has the VOLUME dial on the back of the unit 

been raised to a suitable level?

•  Are the LEVEL knobs of the INPUT A or INPUT 

B on the top panel of the unit set too high? Is 

the input source too loud?

•  Is the monitoring level too high, causing 

distortion from the external monitoring system 

(powered monitor speakers or an amplifier and 

speakers)?

•  When you press the Play (7) button while 

pressing and holding the Record (0) button to 

start recording, is at least one track in recording 

standby (REC indicator lit)?

•  Are inputs assigned to tracks? (See “Assigning 

•  Is the unit connected to the computer via 

the USB terminal? (See “Connecting with a 

computer” on page 75.)

•  Before making the USB connection, songs, 

tracks, or stereo masters are backed up or 

exported to the FAT partition? 

Files on an MTR partition cannot be directly 

accessed from a computer

•  Connecting another device to the unit’s LINE 

OUT jack might reduce the noise.

•  This might be caused by interference noise 

from another device. If there is a power 

amplifier or other device that uses a large 

transformer, a fluorescent light or something 

similar nearby, you might be able to reduce the 

noise by changing the distance and orientation 

of this unit in relation to such equipment.
