[. . . ] Using the encoder beneath the display, scroll up or down until the `Tape Port Select' menu is highlighted. Press <ENTER> and keep pressing the Up cursor key until the `<Tape Ch17-24 >' menu page is displayed. Using the encoder, set the Bank Source to TDIF. Press the Down cursor key once, to set the wordlength. Note that the wordlength required for all non-HR DA machines is 16 bit.

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. 7 Soundcraft 328XD and Tascam DTRS DA98 / DA98HR CONFIGURATION Turn on the DA-98 and allow a few seconds for the DA-98 to boot correctly. Once the DA-98 is stable, the setup procedure can be followed. The DA-98 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-98 must be set to receive external clock. Press the <CLOCK> button on the DA-98 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-98 must also be set up to receive the input from the TDIF input rather than the analogue inputs. [. . . ] NOTE: With a DA-98HR, 24 bit wordlength can be selected. If this is set to on, 24 bit should also be set as the wordlength in the 328XD Tape Port Select menu (see page 4). 9 Soundcraft 328XD and Tascam DTRS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DA88 Model Differences There are 4 different generations of DA-88, numbered conveniently from 1 ­ 4. A wordclock incompatibility exists between Version 4 DA-88s and earlier models. Operation of a Version 4 DA-88 in conjunction with an earlier model requires a Version 4 Tascam DA-88 system board to be fitted to the earlier generation machine. [. . . ]
