NOTE
Since the unit resets when the factory settings are loaded,
you should make sure that the levels of all monitoring
equipment, etc. are turned down, to avoid “thumps” and
possible damage to ears and equipment.

Tape storage of settings
The DA-98HR saves the user parameters to tape
using the first few seconds of the tape after the ABS
00 00 00 00
position. This is entirely indepen-
dent of any audio data written at this position, and the
same part of the tape may safely be used for user data
settings and for audio.
The following settings are not saved to tape. When a
set of parameters is loaded from tape, these are reset
to the default values, as listed here:
• Confidence mode (off)
• Format mode (off)
• Error mute (mute)
• Rehearsal/Auto punch (off)
• Tape transport status (stop)
• REC FUNCTION (all off)
• TC Rec (disabled)
• Rec mute (all off)
• Track input monitor (all off)
• Varispeed (off)
• Sine oscillator (off)
• TC generator run/stop (stop)
• Fs shift (off)
• Cleaning (off)
• Shift mode (off)
• Data entry mode (off)
Only one set of user data may be written on each
tape.
When a tape is re-formatted, the recorded settings are
erased.
