1 – Starting to use the RC-828

The TASCAM RC-828 Remote Control Unit

allows you to control up to 4 DTRS

recorders

(any combination of DA-98, DA-38 or DA-98

units) from one location. The functions which

may be controlled are:

• Transport operations (including jog and

shuttle)

• Track arming

• Auto punch operations

• Chasing control

• Location memories and auto-repeat between

two points

This manual makes reference to the manuals of

the following units: DA-88, DA-38, DA-98 and

SY-88. Please consult these documents as neces-

sary when setting up and using the RC-828.

1.1 Hooking up the RC-828

The RC-828 and DTRS units form a “daisy-

chain”, with the RC-828 being at the head, and the

“tail” unit being terminated with the terminator

supplied with the RC-828.

Use the suppled cable to connect the RC-828 to

the

REMOTE IN/SYNC IN

of the ﬁrst DTRS

unit, and a PW-88S cable to connect the

SYNC

OUT

of the ﬁrst unit to the

REMOTE IN/SYNC

of the next unit, and so on, until the terminator

is connected to the

SYNC OUT

of the last unit in

the chain.

control the next unit in the chain, and so on

(regardless of the actual Machine IDs of the

units).

Tighten the screws holding the cable connector to

the RC-828 and to the DTRS unit. This will pre-

vent accidental disconnection of the RC-828 in

the middle of a session.

No power connection is needed for the RC-828.

All power for LEDs, etc. is supplied by the ﬁrst

DTRS unit.

1.1.1 Machine IDs

Set the machine IDs of the DTRS units so that the

IDs run in a sequence from the unit at the “head”

of the chain, closest to the RC-828 (lowest possi-

ble ID) to the “tail” unit (highest ID). There

should be no gaps in this sequence.

A DA-88 uses a rotary switch to set the ID and

uses 0 as the lowest ID, and a DA-38 or DA-98

uses software to make this setting, and uses 1 as

the lowest ID. Refer to the units’ manuals for full

details of setting the ID.

DTRS is a trademark of TEAC Corporation

NOTE

When you connect a number of DTRS units which are of

different types, including a DA-98, the DA-98 should be at

the head of the chain immediately following the RC-828.

Other units may then be connected in any order.

If the DTRS units are DA-88s and DA-38s only, they may

be connected in any order.

WARNING

Turn off power to all units when making connections. If you

do not do this, there is a possibility that the RC-828 will

malfunction or even be damaged.

WARNING

Use only TASCAM cables to connect the RC-828 to the ﬁrst

DTRS unit, and to connect the DTRS units to each other. If

the use of cables other than TASCAM cables causes or

results in damage to the units, the warranty is voided.

NOTE

At least one LED is always lit on the RC-828 when it is con-

nected and power is switched on to the DTRS units. If you

do not see any lit LEDs on the RC-828, make sure the

DTRS power is switched on, and check the cable connec-

tions to the RC-828.
