DA-88 quick ref. doc 10/14/97 7:27 PM DA-88 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. This can happen if the tape has come in contact with lubricant from the mechanism. The Bernoulli ef fect explains how a spinning drum creates a cushion of air between the tape and the heads. S-Err-03 Combination of Errors 1 & 2 S-Err-04 Capstan Motor Problem. The motor spin command is given, but no FG signal is detected within 1. 5 seconds. S-Err-05 Combination of Errors 1 & 4 S-Err-06 Combination of Errors 2 & 4 S-Err-07 Combination of Errors 1, 2 &4 S-Err-08 Reel Problem (take-up or supply). S-Err-09 Combination of Errors 1 & 8 S-Err-10 Combination of Errors 2 & 8 S-Err-11 Combination of Errors 1, 2 & 8 (a mechanical mode change is not completed within 5 seconds). S-Err-12 Combination of Errors 4 & 8 S-Err-13 Combination of Errors 1, 4 & 8 S-Err-14 Combination of Errors 2, 4 & 8 S-Err-15 Combination of Errors 1, 2, 4 & 8 S-Err-21 The reel tables do not wind the tape in preparation for Eject. If the tape path has been adjusted for a narrow or easily flexed tape, a wider or stiffer tape may get caught in the guides. The System control monitors both reel table tachometers, as well as the Head and Capstan tachs. S-Err-59 In Eject mode, the reels do not start to drive, or do not lock for more than 1. 5 seconds S-Err-68 In Play mode, the reels do not start to drive, or do not lock for more than 1. 5 seconds. E. CLOC No clock data, or incorrect setting of the clock switch or machine time base reference. This could also indicate a mismatch in the machine ID K numbers and/or missing sync signal such as video or word clock. You must use TASCAM cables or other individually shielded twisted pair cable. Leave the machine powered so the heat from the electronics will evaporate the moisture. You must use either a metal particle (MP) or metal evaporated (ME) HI-8 Tape. Clearing Errors Generally Errors can be cleared by re-booting the machine. This is usually the case with S-Err-11, as the tape could be locked in the transport.

DA-88 quick ref. doc 10/14/97 7:27 PM DA-88 Cleaning Procedure The DA-88 incorporates an internal cleaning mechanism that not only cleans the rotary head but also the tape as it enters the tape path. The inclusion of this cleaning mechanism significantly reduces the need for manual cleaning, and all but eliminates the need to use the dry cleaning tape. [. . . ] If dubbing Time code, connect TC Out from source DA-88 to TC In on the target DA-88 using the RCA to RCA audio cable. 3) Power On both DA-88s 4) On the Source DA-88, enter a 43 Fs Track Delay value for all 8 tracks. c) If dubbing Time code, on Source DA-88 set menu Item 6 to Digital (old S1 #5 Up). 5) Load Master tape into Source DA-88 and the pre-formatted tape into the target DA-88.
