TASCAM DV-RA1000 Owner’s Manual
Remote control unit
Since the supplied RC-RA1000 remote control unit
is a wired unit, no batteries are necessary, and it does
not need to point at the DV-RA1000 for operation.
The keys on the remote control unit complement
those on the main unit.
Note the following major differences between opera-
tions with the remote control unit and those with the
main unit:
Skip (between tracks) and search (within
tracks) keys
These are separate keys on
the remote control unit, but are the same key (short
press for skip, long for search—see “Moving play-
back position within a disc” on page 23) on the main
unit.
Number keys
Present on the remote control unit,
but not on the main unit. Used for direct track selec-
tion, programmed playback etc. There is also a
CLEAR
key to clear the current numerical entry.
Dedicated function keys
These keys:
REC
MODE
,
A.TRACK
,
A.READY
,
A.CUE
,
A-B
,
REPEAT
,
PGM
,
SINGLE
are dedicated keys on the
remote control unit, but only accessible through the
Virtual Front Panel (see “The virtual front panel
(VFP)” on page 17) on the main unit.
Note that A-B repeat can only be set using the remote
control unit.
MARK and LOCATE keys
The
MARK
key is
used to set a mark point for further location.
The
LOCATE
key is used to bring up the locate point
list for location and editing.
Soft F-keys
These are arranged as cursor keys on
the remote control unit, echoing one of their most
common functions.
JOG/DATA keys
On the remote control unit, these
take the place of the wheel on the main unit.
