Environmental conditions
The TASCAM CD-302 may be used in most areas,
but to maintain top performance, and prolong operat-
ing life, observe the following environmental
conditions:
The nominal temperature should be between 5˚C and
35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees non-
condensing.
Make sure that the drive unit is mounted in a level
position for correct operation.
The units should be mounted, using the supplied rack
mounting kits. A typical configuration is shown
below, but other configurations are possible:
NOTE
If the disc trays are more than 5 degrees away from
the horizontal, they will not open or close.
