Loading SD cards

This unit uses SD cards for recording and playback.
This unit can use SD cards that are Class 10 or higher and compatible
with SD, SDHC or SDXC standards.
NOTE
This product does not include an SD card.
Please purchase any that you need for your uses.
We recommend using SD cards with capacities of at least 64 GB be-
cause multitrack recordings of all channel inputs use large amounts of
space.
A list of SD cards that have been confirmed for use with this unit
can be found by accessing the TEAC Global Site (https://teac-global.
com). Check the page for this product. You can also contact TASCAM
customer support service.
Open the SD card slot cover on the back and insert the card in the slot
until it clicks into place.
If a pop-up message suggesting formatting appears on the touchscreen
when an SD card is inserted, follow the instructions in the message to
format the card.
NOTE
SD cards formatted by this unit are optimized to improve performance
during recording. Use this unit to format the SD cards to be used with
it. Errors might occur when recording with this unit using an SD card
formatted by a computer or other device.
ATTENTION
Formatting an SD card will erase all the data on it. Make a backup of
any needed data before formatting.
Removing SD cards
First, turn the unit off or stop operation. Then, gently press the SD card in
to eject it, and remove it
ATTENTION
Never remove an SD card when the unit is operating (including re-
cording, playing back, or writing data to the SD card). Doing so could
cause proper recording to fail, data to be lost, and sudden loud noises
from monitoring equipment, which might damage the equipment,
harm hearing or cause other trouble.

chase and whenever the internal clock has been reset.
