Master Word Clock Set-Up - Tascam TM-D1000 Tutorial

If you are using a DA-38 or DA-98, your master word clock should be set to TDIF1 A. This makes your
Multitrack machine the word clock master. The DA-38 and DA-98 can both transmit word clock
information through the TDIF1 line, and the TM-D1000 will follow that. NOTE: The TDIF cable must be
connected from the DA-38 or DA-98 to the TM-D1000 before setting the Master Word Clock. Otherwise,
the TM-D1000 display will read "Error! No Signal TDIF-1 A". This means there is no word clock
information at the TDIF port. The TM-D1000 then resets the Master Word clock to the internal clock.
If you are using a DA-88, your master word clock should be set to Word Sync In [44.1k] or Word Sync
In [48k] depending on what sample rate you are using. If you formatted your tape at 44.1kHz, then use
Word Sync In [44.1k]. If you formatted your tape at 48kHz, then use Word Sync In [48k]. If you don't
know which sample rate you selected for your machine, there are two indicator lights on the DA-88 just
to the right of the "tape eject" button labelled 44.1k and 48k. NOTE: The BNC to RCA cable must be
connected from the DA-88 to the TM-D1000 before setting the master word clock. Otherwise, the TM-
D1000 display will read "Error! Fs Clock Error>Internal". This means there is no word clock information
at the Word Sync In port. The TM-D1000 then resets the master word clock to the internal clock.
If you are using an ADAT or another lightpipe unit with an IF-TAD, your master word clock should
be set to Word Sync In [44.1k] or Word Sync In [48k] depending on what sample rate you are using. If
you formatted your tape at 44.1kHz, then use Word Sync In [44.1k]. If you formatted your tape at 48kHz,
then use Word Sync In [48k]. NOTE: The BNC to RCA cable must be connected from the IF-TAD to the
TM-D1000 before setting the master word clock. Otherwise, the TM-D1000 display will read "Error! Fs
Clock Error>Internal". This means there is no word clock information at the Word Sync In port. The TM-
D1000 then resets the master word clock to the internal clock.
To set the master clock on the TM-D1000:
