Q: How big is the hard drive?
A: There is no hard drive, the DVRA1000 records directly to DVD or CD.
Q; Does the DVRA1000 record and play back true Direct Stream Digital, or is it converted from
PCM?
A: TASCAM worked with Sony to create a true DSD recorder. The A/D and D/A converters output
true DSD resolution in addition to PCM signals. The A/D is a Burr Brown PCM1804, and the D/A
is a DSD1792.
Q: What is the control port?
A: This is an RS232Ccompatible jack that can be connected to systems like Crestron¨ and
AMX¨. Programming codes to control the recorder will be posted to
www.tascam.com

A: A DSDIFF file is the standard file used for DSD recording. It can be read by DSD computer
systems, such as Sony Sonoma¨, Philips SACD Creator and Sadie¨.
Q: What is an SDIF3 jack?
A: This is used for digital connection to DSD computer systems or converters.
Q: How is 192kHz/24bit audio sent digitally?
A: The AES/EBU connectors are capable of dualspeed/doublewire operation.
Q: How does the DVRA1000 handle editing and DSP if it records directly to a disc?
A: You can edit, trim and process audio using a DVD+RW disc. If necessary, the audio is re
written to the disc.
Q: Can I edit all formats of audio?
A: No, you can only edit and process audio up to 96kHz. 192kHz and DSD audio can not be
processed.
Q: I see "Read Error 61" on the display.
A: When you insert a disc, select a new project or even a new track, you'll notice the DISC light
flashing as the RAM buffer fills up. Wait until the DISC light stops flashing before pressing PLAY
to avoid disc read errors.
