Section 1 – Introduction to the DA-98  
1-4 – 1.00 – 06/97
If condensation does occur, you will not be able to 
operate the DA-98 controls, and you will see the 
following message on the display:
If you see the above message, press the 
ESCAPE
 
key to remove the message, leave the DA-98 
switched on for one or two hours, then switch it 
off and on again before starting recording.
If you are going to use the DA-98 in a location 
where you think condensation is likely to occur, 
move the DA-98 into the warmer location about 
one or two hours before recording is due to start, 
and leave it switched on. Turn the DA-98 off and 
then on again before starting recording.
1.5 Recommended tapes
The DA-98 is designed for use with Hi8 video 
cassettes. You cannot use any other kind of tape 
with the DA-98.
There are two basic types of Hi8 tape: MP and 
ME. Each has its own particular characteristics 
and merits:
MP tapes are manufactured using a daubed 
magnetic particle deposit process and exhibit a 
level of performance which is more than 
acceptable. They have a durability which 
allows them to be used as work tapes in studio 
and post-production environments.
ME tapes have their magnetic layer produced 
through a metal evaporation process. Generally 
speaking, though these tapes have a high per-
formance level, they are not as robust as MP 
tapes (see above) and should be used for live 
recording and archival purposes, rather than as 
work tapes.
TASCAM does not endorse any specific tape or 
tape manufacturer. TASCAM has licensed the use 
of the DTRS logo (
) to tape manufacturers, 
provided their tape meets the specifications 
required by DTRS tape recorders. However, the 
use of the DTRS logo on the tape packaging does 
not imply any endorsement of the tape by TAS-
CAM. It is possible that the characteristics and 
sensitivities of tapes may be changed by the man-
ufacturers without notice. The brands and model 
numbers of tapes listed below may not always 
meet the specifications required by DTRS systems 
for optimum performance. TASCAM assumes no 
responsibility for problems resulting from 
changes made by a manufacturer to the materials 
or specifications of its tape products.
The electrical characteristics of DTRS recorders 
are adjusted and set using Sony Hi8 tape parame-
ters (MP and ME) prior to shipment.
1.5.1 Tape brands
The following brands and models of tape can be 
used with the DA-98. As mentioned above, this 
list does not constitute any endorsement by TAS-
CAM of these products, nor is it a guarantee that 
tapes bearing this brand and model name will con-
tinue to give optimum performance.
The electronics of DTRS recorders are designed 
to operate within specific parameters. The use of a 
tape with sensitivity higher or lower than that of
