TASCAM CD-RW4U
Front panel
1
POWER switch
The power switch is used
to switch the unit between standby and on (full oper-
ational mode).
When the unit is turned on, the display shows
TASCAM
, followed by
CD-RW4U
, and the unit
then reads the Table of Contents of any inserted disc.
In standby mode, the display is dimmed, and shows
USB MODE
or
AUDIO MODE
, depending
on the current selection (see page 10).

This accepts the
commands from the remote control unit. Do not
cover this window when operating the unit with the
remote control unit.

Repeated presses of this
key cycle through the different audio inputs and the
input combinations. See “Input selection” on page 19
for full details.

chronized recording on and off (see “Synchronized
recording” on page 24 for details).

ready mode (see “Recording” on page 19 for details)

Disc tray
The recorded surface of the disc
should face the base of the unit. If the unit is being
used in a vertical orientation, the recorded surface of
the disc should face the base of the unit, and the disc
should be hooked under the lip of the disc tray.
When a disc is loaded into the unit, the display
briefly shows
TOC Reading.
, with a flash-
ing period following the word “Reading” as the unit
determines the contents of the disc.

Display
The display is used to show the cur-
rent status of the unit, as well as the current menu set-
tings.
A
OPEN/CLOSE key
Use this key to open
and close the disc tray. The display shows
OPEN

MULTI DIAL control
Use this control to
select tracks for playback, to set parameter values,
etc.
Typically, turning the control clockwise will increase
a value, and turning it counterclockwise will
decrease the value. There is no “end-stop” to the con-
trol—it may be turned continuously in either
direction.
In addition, when setting menu values, pushing the
control acts like an “enter” key, i.e. the currently-dis-
played value or setting is confirmed and the display
returns to the time display.

adjust the level of the analog audio signals received
at the
