DA88 CONFIGURATION
Turn on the DA-88 and allow a few seconds for the DA-88 to boot correctly.
Once the DA-88 is stable, the setup procedure can be followed.
The DA-88 will detect the sample rate of a loaded cassette.
NOTE:
The 328XD should be set to this sample rate in the Clock Source Sel menu (see page 4).
However, the DA-88 must be set to receive external clock. Press the <CLOCK> button on the DA-88
until the LED indicates 'WORD'. The LED should NOT flash, but remain lit. If the 'WORD' LED flashes,
firstly check that the cabling is correct and the 328XD clock settings have been entered correctly.
The DA-88 must also be set up to receive the input from the TDIF input rather than the analogue inputs.
To do this, press the <DIGITAL IN> button on the DA-88.
To set up the DA-88 to receive the MIDI Machine Control commands for remote control from the
328XD's transport control, the DA-88 must be fitted with the Tascam SY-88 synchronization board. This
board has a series of Mode Dip Switches, some of which must be set up correctly to work with the
328XD. The relevant settings are as follows:
Switch 2: If the MIDI input is used for MMC control of the DA-88, the switch should be UP - if the
RS-422 port is used for control of the DA-88, the switch should be DOWN;
Switch 5: This switch should be set to UP as Timecode is then transmitted with reference to the digital
audio output;
Switch 6: This switch should be set to DOWN for Timecode is to be transmitted from the DA-88 to the
328XD.
For further information the Tascam SY-88 manual should be consulted.
To complete the setup, turn on the 328XD again.
