[. . . ] D00556700A High Resolution Digital Audio Interface Unit OWNER'S MANUAL 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. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. This appliance has a serial number located on the rear panel. [. . . ] Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. 15) Lightning -- For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. 16) Power Lines -- An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 17) Overloading -- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in risk of fire or electric shock. 18) Object and Liquid Entry -- Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. 19) Servicing -- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 20) Damage Requiring Service -- Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b) if liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product. c) if the product has been exposed to rain or water. d) if the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation. e) if the product has been dropped or damaged in any way. f ) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance ­ this indicates a need for service. 21) Replacement Parts -- When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. 22) Safety Check -- Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition. 23) Wall or Ceiling Mounting -- The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer. 24) Heat -- The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat. TASCAM IF-AE8HR 3 TASCAM IF-AE8HR 1 Introduction AES (professional--PRO) or as IEC-60958 TYPE II (SPDIF--CONSUMER). Consumer and professional formats received at the XLR-type inputs are automatically distinguished by the unit. The TASCAM IF-AE8HR provides a convenient way of exchanging digital audio data between TDIF-1equipped devices, such as DTRS recorders, and AES/ EBU devices. [. . . ] This is shown by the PRO indicator flashing for about two seconds, and then returning to a steadily-lit state. 3 Rear panel 6 7 8 9 A BC D 6 DIGITAL I/O (AES/EBU) OUTPUTS (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) These balanced XLR-type connectors output digital audio data in AES/EBU professional or in consumer format, depending on the selection made with the CHANNEL STATUS switch 5. The sampling frequency of the output data depends on the setting of the SAMPLING FREQUENCY switch 4, and the currently-selected clock source 8 DIGITAL I/O (TDIF-1) Use this connector to connect a suitably-equipped TDIF-1 digital audio unit (e. g. a DTRS recorder or a TASCAM digital mixing console). The signals received at this connector can be selected as the word clock source using the CLOCK switch 3. NOTE 3. [. . . ]
