is off  and use the 

 

INPUT MONITOR

 

 keys on 

the DA-98 to turn off input monitoring on all 
tracks.

 

[6]

JOG/SHTL MON key and indicator

 

This key allows the selection of different monitor-
ing modes when shuttle mode is selected, either 
with the units’ own 

 

SHUTTLE

 

 controls, or from 

the 

 

JOG/SHUTTLE

 

 key on the RC-828 [15]. 

This key and indicator duplicate the function of 
the 

 

SHTL MON

 

 key and indicator of the DA-98, 

and provide these capabilities for the DA-38 and 
DA-98.

Use the flowchart provided with this manual to 
check the shuttle monitoring status of DA-38 and 
DA-88 units in different modes (the provision of 
confidence mode on the DA-98 means that this 
model differs from the others), and you should 
also consult the manual of the DTRS unit for full 
details, if you are unclear about how shuttle moni-
toring works:

 

[7]

RHSL key

 

This key duplicates the functions of the corre-
sponding key controlling rehearsal operations on 
the DTRS units. See the appropriate section of the 
DTRS manual if you are unsure of its operation.

 

[8]

AUTO PUNCH key

 

This key duplicates the functions of the corre-
sponding key controlling auto punch operations 
on the DTRS units. See the appropriate section of 
the DTRS manual if you are unsure of its 
operation.

 

[9]

CLEAR key

 

This key duplicates the functions of the corre-
sponding key clearing punch points on the DTRS 
units. See the appropriate section of the DTRS 
manual if you are unsure of its operation.

 

[10]

LOCATE POINTS 1–12

 

These 12 location keys and indicators are used for 
the management of location memories. These 
memories are stored and used with reference to 

the DTRS unit’s current time reference (ABS or 
timecode).

The indicator of a location memory containing a 
location point will be lit, and pressing the key 
(except in “capture” or erase mode, see [11] and 
[12]) will locate to the point stored in that mem-
ory. Pressing a key whose indicator is not lit will 
have no effect. The location point stored in the 
memory will be briefly shown on the tape counter 
of the DTRS units (for the DA-88 and DA-38–for 
the DA-98 the location point will be shown briefly 
on the LCD display screen).

While location is taking place, the indicator will 
flash, and the indicator will light steadily again 
when location is complete.

If the 

 

AUTO PLAY

 

 indicator [13] is lit, the DTRS 

unit will start to play back when the location point 
is reached, otherwise the transport will stop at the 
location point.

 

[11]

CAPTURE key and indicator

 

Press this key to enter “capture” mode. The green 
indicator will flash. While in capture mode, press-
ing a 

 

LOCATE POINT

 

 key [10] will store the 

current tape position to the location memory cor-
responding to the 

 

LOCATE POINT

 

 key.

If the memory does not contain data (the indicator 
is not lit), the new position will be written to the 
memory and the indicator will light. If the mem-
ory already contains a location point (the indicator 
is lit), this will be overwritten with the new posi-
tion. Press the 

 

CAPTURE

 

 key again to turn off 

the capture mode (the indicator will stop flashing).

 

[12]

ERASE key

 

To erase a location memory, press and hold down 
the 

 

ERASE

 

 key. While holding it down, press the 

 

LOCATE POINT

 

 key [10] of the memory you 

want to erase. The indicator of the

NOTE

 

These location memories are independent of the 

 

MEMO 1

 

 

and 

 

2

 

 location memories stored in the DTRS units.

 

NOTE

 

The location points are stored in memory, backed up by a 
battery whose life is a few years. When you turn on the 
DTRS unit connected to the RC-828 with location memo-
ries stored in it, the same location indicators will light as 
were lit at the time when you last turned off the DTRS unit. 
If they do not light, the battery needs replacing, and you 
should contact your TASCAM dealer regarding a replace-
ment battery.
