Please record the model number and serial number and retain them for your records. Model number Serial number CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. . [. . . ] If the tape is at an unrecorded location, the tape counter will show all dashes. PNO ABS MARG 0 0H 2 6M 3 5S 0 9 6. 3 dB [20] DATA dial This dial is used for two major functions. One is to change the value of data in menus and parameter settings. It can also be used, however, to select an absolute program number at which playback should start (compare this with the SKIP keys, which are used to select a program number relative to the current number). While the tape is stopped or paused, and a menu or edit function is not displayed, turn the data dial. PNO ABS · PGM time-- the elapsed time since the last START ID which has been read from tape (the beginning of the program). If, when the display is in this mode, the tape is located to a point outside a START ID and playback restarts, the tape deck will be unable to determine the time since the start of the program and the display will show all dashes instead of a time value. . PNO PGM MARG 0 3M 1 7S 0 9 6. 3 dB 0 0H 0 3M 0 8S 0 2 > 0 4 The program number following the > sign flashes. Program numbers can be from 01 through 99, and turning the DATA dial past the limit will start at the other end of the list. Press the PLAY key within five seconds of turning the DATA dial to locate to the start of the program and start playing. Press the PAUSE key within five seconds of turning the DATA dial to locate to the start of the program and put the tape deck into pause mode. · REMAIN time-- the time remaining on the currently-loaded cassette; to minute accuracy. Cassettes from different manufacturers may vary slightly in length, resulting in different values being shown for tapes which are nominally the same length. PNO REMAIN0 MARG 0 0 3M 0 9 6. 3 dB · Tape Counter mode-- no indication is given on the display of the mode, and a 4-digit number is used to show the tape position. This value is relative to a user-definable reference "zero" point (see MARGIN RESET [23]). PNO MARG 01 26 0 8 6. 3 dB 14 TASCAM DA-45HR 2 - Parts of the tape deck [22] CHAR If characters have been recorded on the tape as a tape or program title, pressing this key will allow the tape deck to display these characters, scrolling across the display, as the START ID containing the title is played back. They will be replaced by successive title contents as they are read from tape. If characters are read from a START ID, the CHAR indicator will light in the display to indicate this. If no characters have been recorded on the tape, pressing this key will have no effect. · If titles have been recorded on the tape (see 4. 8, "Character editing (titling)"), CHAR is shown on the display, and the characters comprising the title are shown on the display (here, the word "TASCAM" is used as the title): ABS 0 0H 2 3M 0 8S T A S C A. M [25] SKIP PLAY When skip mode is active, SKIP PLAY is shown on the display. Skip mode means at that when a SKIP ID is encountered on tape, the tape will fast forward until the next START ID is encountered. [23] MARGIN RESET Pressing this key resets the margin (available headroom) to its lowest level of 40dB. Note that in some display modes, there is no visible effect when this key is pressed. The margin is measured in 1 dB increments between 40 dB and 20 dB and in 0. 1 dB increments between 19. 9 dB and 0 dB. [. . . ] It is not possible to enter record mode directly, and this helps to prevent accidental recording. [68] STOP Equivalent to the STOP key [14] on the main unit.
