Tascam DP-004 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 

whey 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” section on page 106 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.
