User manual TASCAM 564 PORTASTUDIO

[. . . ] The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. When replacing the fuse only a correctly rated approved type should be used and be sure to re-fit the fuse cover. IF IN DOUBT -- CONSULT A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN. For the consumers in Europe WARNING This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. [. . . ] 11) Power Sources -- This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. 12) Grounding or Polarization -- This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. 13) Power-Cord Protection -- Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. 14) Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and builtup static charges. 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. The audio data format output from the XLR-type outputs may be selected from the front panel as either 1. 1 Mounting, etc. The 564 PORTASTUDIO is a 1U unit, designed to fit into a standard 19-inch rack. Included in the package are; · · · · · The unit itself This manual A rack-mounting kit A 2 m (6 ft. ) power cord Four rubber feet If any of these items are missing, contact your TASCAM distributor. Install the unit in the 19" rack as shown below: 2 Front panel 1 2 3 4 5 1 Power switch and indicator Push the POWER switch once to turn on power, and again to turn it off. The POWER indicator lights when power is supplied to the 564 PORTASTUDIO. Whenever the power is turned on, the CLOCK source is set to WORD 3, the SAMPLING FREQUENCY is set to 44. 1k 4and the CHANNEL STATUS is set to PRO 5. 2 LOCK indicator When a valid clock signal is received at the selected clock source, this indicator will light. If this indicator starts to flash, the 564 PORTASTUDIO is not locked to the external clock (as specified by 3). This 4 TASCAM 564 PORTASTUDIO TASCAM 564 PORTASTUDIO occurs if there is no clock signal or the signal is ±6% outside the nominal frequency. In these cases, once a valid clock signal is received again, the indicator will light steadily. DUAL mode (Fs=88. 2k or 96k) Data is transferred in over two channels in the DUAL mode. In high-frequency sampling modes (88. 2k and 96k), there is twice the amount of data compared to the usual modes (44k and 48k). [. . . ] If the use of cables other than TASCAM cables causes or results in damage, the warranty is voided. 9 WORD SYNC ­ IN The BNC connector accepts a word clock signal from an external source. It can be selected as the word clock source for the 564 PORTASTUDIO using the CLOCK switch 3. If a high-frequency sampling frequency (96k or 88. 2k) has been selected, it is possible to use either the appropriate high-frequency word clock, or the corresponding standard-frequency word clock. 6 TASCAM 564 PORTASTUDIO TASCAM 564 PORTASTUDIO A WORD SYNC ­ THRU (AUTO TERM) This BNC connector echoes the word clock which is input at the WORD SYNC ­ IN connector 9. If no connection is made to this connector, it is automatically terminated. NOTE B WORD SYNC ­ OUT (STD Fs) This BNC connector outputs a standard-frequency word clock: either 44. 1 kHz when 44. 1k or 88. 2k is selected, or 48 kHz when 48k or 96k is selected. These clocks output from B and C may or may not be the same as the clock received at WORD SYNC ­ IN 9 and retransmitted through WORD SYNC ­ THRU (AUTO TERM) A. [. . . ]
