6.5 Error messages

There are two types of error message: warning (informa-
tional) and more serious messages.

6.5.1 Warning messages

These simply give an indication of a situation which is 
easily resolved:

CLKINX

—An attempt is being made to record digi-

tally, with the 

CLOCK

 switch set to 

INT

. Set the 

CLOCK

 switch to the appropriate setting (

D-IN

 or 

WORD

)

AES/EBU X

—The digital audio signal received at 

the 

AES/EBU

 input has been selected as an input 

source, but has become unsynchronized or is not present.

COAXIAL X

—The digital audio signal received at 

the 

COAXIAL

 unbalanced input has been selected as an 

input source, but has become unsynchronized or is not 
present.

AES/EBU ?

—The digital audio signal received at 

the 

AES/EBU

 balanced input is more than 0.1% outside 

the standard sampling frequency and cannot be recorded 
(though it can be monitored).

COAXIAL ?

—The digital audio signal received at 

the 

COAXIAL

 unbalanced input is more than 0.1% out-

side the standard sampling frequency and cannot be 
recorded (though it can be monitored).

Tape Top

 & 

Tape End

—The tape is at the 

start or end, and an attempt has been made to move past 
this point

End-ID

—The presence of the END ID prevents the 

attempted operation

A/D Error

—The 

RECORD

 key has been 

pressed and the analog input levels are too high for a 
recording to be made successfully. Press the 

STOP

 key, 

lower the analog input level, and press the 

RECORD

 

key again.

RecProtect

—The cassette’s sliding write-pro-

tect tab is in the write-protect position.

TapeMode HR

TapeMode NOR

,

 

An attempt is being made to record on a tape which has 
previously been recorded using an incompatible mode 
(HR or normal)

Tape Fs32k

Tape Fs32kLP

—A tape 

recorded at 32k or with the LP mode cannot be played 
back using the DA-45HR

6.5.2 Serious error messages

Any of the following error messages indicates a serious 
error, which you should never see in normal operation. If 
any of these appears, first try any countermeasures listed 
here. If the message does not disappear after trying the 
countermeasure, you should contact your TASCAM dis-
tributor for testing and repair of your tape deck.

DSP Com. Err.

Mecha. Com. Er.

Loading Err

—Eject the tape, power down the 

tape deck, power it up again, and reinsert the tape as 
described in 1.4, "About DAT cassettes". If this fails, con-
tact your TASCAM dealer.

Drum Error

—Condensation may have occurred 

on the head drum. Remove the cassette, and leave the 
tape deck switched on for one or two hours. See the 
warning note in 1.3, "Installation of the tape deck"

Capstan Error

SVMemo.RDE

SVMemo.WRE

Tape Cut!

—The tape has broken. You may be 

able to remove the damaged cassette, but this is usually 
best left to a qualified service technician, as the tape may 
be wound in a complex path around delicate mechanical 
parts of the tape deck.

Memo.Data Er

—The memorized menu set-

tings (3.17, "Parameter save") are no longer stored in 
memory. Try re-making these settings. If the problem 
persists, contact your TASCAM dealer.
