TASCAM SS-CDR200/SS-R200/SS-R100
The capacities and performance of your unit will vary
based on the speed and abilities of the media used. Older
and some cheaper USB memory/SD cards/CF cards use
AC IN
slower memory components and little internal buffering
which results in poor recording performance.

confirmed to work with this unit is provided on our
website (http://tascam.com/).

SD card write-protection

This unit writes track information to the media in order to
improve performance. Since track data cannot be written
to write-protected SD cards, media reading will take
longer and performance could otherwise be affected.

Media formatting

Flash media that has been formatted by this unit is
optimized for performance during recording. Using
flash media that has been formatted by a computer,
for example, could result in errors during recording. We
recommend that whenever possible you use flash media
after it has been formatted by this unit.

About compact discs

can play CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded
in audio CD format, as well as CD-R and CD-RW discs that
have MP3 audio and WAV audio files recorded on them. In
addition to 5-inch CDs, it can also play 3-inch CDs.

Handling of compact discs

•
following marks.
CD-R
CD-RW
Always insert the compact discs in the slot with their

label facing upward.
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the

center of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding
