Tascam RC-828 ユーザーズマニュアル

 

0.98 – 1

 

The TASCAM RC-828 Remote Control Unit 
allows you to control up to 4 DTRS

 

1

 

 recorders 

(any combination of DA-98, DA-38 or DA-98 
units) from one location. The functions which 
may be controlled are:

•

Transport operations (including jog and 
shuttle)

•

Track arming

•

Auto punch operations

•

Chasing control

•

Location memories and auto-repeat between 
two points

This manual makes reference to the manuals of 
the following units: DA-88, DA-38, DA-98 and 
SY-88. Please consult these documents as neces-
sary when setting up and using the RC-828.

 

The RC-828 and DTRS units form a “daisy-
chain”, with the RC-828 being at the head, and the 
“tail” unit being terminated with the terminator 
supplied with the RC-828. 

Use the suppled cable to connect the RC-828 to 
the 

 

 of the first DTRS 

unit, and a PW-88S cable to connect the 

 

 of the first unit to the 

 

 of the next unit, and so on, until the terminator 

is connected to the 

 

 of the last unit in 

the chain.

The RC-828’s 

 

 keys 

 

 through 

 

 now control the first unit, Keys 

 

 through 

 

 

control the next unit in the chain, and so on 
(regardless of the actual Machine IDs of the 
units).

Tighten the screws holding the cable connector to 
the RC-828 and to the DTRS unit. This will pre-
vent accidental disconnection of the RC-828 in 
the middle of a session.

No power connection is needed for the RC-828. 
All power for LEDs, etc. is supplied by the first 
DTRS unit. 

 

Set the machine IDs of the DTRS units so that the 
IDs run in a sequence from the unit at the “head” 
of the chain, closest to the RC-828 (lowest possi-
ble ID) to the “tail” unit (highest ID). There 
should be no gaps in this sequence.

A DA-88 uses a rotary switch to set the ID and 
uses 0 as the lowest ID, and a DA-38 or DA-98 
uses software to make this setting, and uses 1 as 
the lowest ID. Refer to the units’ manuals for full 
details of setting the ID.

When you connect a number of DTRS units which are of 
different types, including a DA-98, the DA-98 should be at 
the head of the chain immediately following the RC-828. 
Other units may then be connected in any order.

If the DTRS units are DA-88s and DA-38s only, they may 
be connected in any order.

 

Turn off power to all units when making connections. If you 
do not do this, there is a possibility that the RC-828 will 
malfunction or even be damaged.

 

Use only TASCAM cables to connect the RC-828 to the first 
DTRS unit, and to connect the DTRS units to each other. If 
the use of cables other than TASCAM cables causes or 
results in damage to the units, the warranty is voided.

 

At least one LED is always lit on the RC-828 when it is con-
nected and power is switched on to the DTRS units. If you 
do not see any lit LEDs on the RC-828, make sure the 
DTRS power is switched on, and check the cable connec-
tions to the RC-828.
