DA-30 MKII quick ref. doc 10/14/97 7:27 PM DA-30 MKII ERROR NUMBERS AND THEIR DESCRIPTION ERROR S-Err-01 S-Err-02 DESCRIPTION Mechanical Problem (tape path, guide, drum motor, etc. ) Irregular head drum speed. The drum motor spin command is given, but no tachometer pulses from the frequency generator (FG) coil are received for 1. 5 seconds. Use of the dry cleaning tape will reduce the head life of the DA-30 MKII by approximately 5 hours for every cleaning cycle, use is therefor reserved for situations when playback errors occur and a manual cleaning is not possible. If you elect to use the dry cleaning tape, RUN ONE PASS ONLY NOT MULTIPLE CYCLES. If this does not resolve the situation, a manual cleaning or alignment is required. Note that the cleaning interval may be longer or shorter depending on your individual environmental conditions. (requires proper test and measurement equipment, and should be performed by qualified service personnel) During third cleaning, (1000 hours) a complete alignment check is suggested. Remember, the duration between cleanings may vary depending on your environment. Although most name brand tapes are of very high quality, it is possible to receive some "bad" stock. If you receive tape stock that sheds, immediately stop using it, and clean you transport. Page 7 © TEAC America, Inc. , 1997 All rights reserved.
