Beware of condensation

Condensation could occur if the unit is moved 
from a cold place to a warm place, it is used 
immediately after a cold room has been heated or 
it is otherwise exposed to a sudden temperature 
change. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the 
unit sit for one or two hours at the new room 
temperature before using it.

Cleaning the unit

Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Do 
not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner, 
alcohol or other chemical agents. Doing so could 
damage the surface or cause discoloration.

About TASCAM customer 
support service

TASCAM products are supported and warrantied 
only in their country/region of purchase.
To receive support after purchase, on the TASCAM 
Distributors list page of the TEAC Global Site 
(https://teac-global.com/), search for the local 
company or representative for the region where 
you purchased the product and contact that 
organization.
When making inquiries, the address (URL) of the 
shop or web shop where it was purchased and 
the purchase date are required. Moreover, the 
warranty card and proof of purchase might also 
be necessary.

The built-in speaker volume is low

Press the + side of the 

 (headphone/speaker) 

volume control.

If input levels were low during recording, it might 
be difficult to hear even when the speaker is at 
its maximum volume. If the maximum input level 
during recording is close to 0 dB, the built-in 
speaker will output at near maximum volume

If more volume is needed, connect an external 
speaker with a built-in amp or an amp with a 
speaker connected to it.

The date/time is incorrect

The date and time setting can be changed using 
the GENERAL SETTING screen > SYSTEM page 
> DATE/TIME item. (See “GENERAL SETTINGS 
screen” on page 29)
