TASCAM US-1800

CAUTION

Handle the enclosed CD-ROM with care. If the disc 

 

becomes scratched or dirty, your computer may be unable 

to read it and the software cannot be installed. If the 

disc becomes unreadable, a fee will be charged for its 

replacement.
Never attempt to play the enclosed CD-ROM in a 

 

conventional audio CD player, as the resulting noise may 

damage your speakers or your hearing.

Installing the driver for Windows

NOTE

During driver installation, a warning that “this software 

 

... has not passed Windows Logo testing“ will appear.  

This message appears when a driver that has not 

received Windows Logo testing is installed. This message 

appears because the drivers for TASCAM products have 

not received Windows Logo testing. We have, however, 

confirmed their proper operation. If this message appears, 

click Continue to proceed with the installation.
