Media considerations
The capacities and performance of your SS-R1/SS-R05
will vary based on the speed and abilities of the Compact
Flash (CF) media used. Older and some cheaper Compact
Flash (CF) cards use slower memory components and little
internal buffering which results in poor recording perfor-
mance. Newer CF cards, not only perform reading and
writing faster, but also come in larger storage size.
NOTE
A card more than 512 MB should be used on the SS-R1/
SS-R05.
The SS-R1/SS-R05 supports only Type I Compact Flash
media. Type I cards are typically FLASH-ROM based and
provide higher performance and durability than hard disk
cards.
A list of CF cards that we have confirmed to work with this
unit is provided on our website (http://www.tascam.com).
CompactFlash cards are precision devices. To prevent
damage to the card or the slot, please observe the following
cautions.
Do not leave a CF card in an extremely hot or cold loca-
•
tion.
Do not leave a CF card in an extremely damp location.
•
Do not allow a CF card to become wet.
•
Do not place any object on top of a CF card, or twist or
•
bend it.
Do not subject a CF card to strong impact.
•
Environmental considerations
The SS-R1/SS-R05 may be used in most areas, but to
maintain top performance, and prolong operating 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 percent.
•
As the unit may become hot during operation, always
•
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do
not install this unit in a confined space such as a book-
case, and do not put anything on top of the unit.
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
•
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for
•
correct operation.
Do not use any benzene, paint thinner, ethyl alcohol
•
or other chemical agents to clean the unit as it could
damage the surface. To clean the unit, wipe gently with
a soft dry cloth.
NOTE
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the volt-
age as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt
regarding this matter, consult an electrician.
The following should be noted when you connect the unit
to other equipment.
It is possible to connect the unit’s
DIGITAL COAXIAL IN
,
and balanced or unbalanced
ANALOG INs (L, R)
to other
equipment at the same time. However, the unit can receive
signals from only one input at a time. Currently selected
input jack is shown on the display.
Audio signals output from the unit are output from the
balanced or unbalanced
ANALOG OUT
jacks, as well as
from the
DIGITAL COAXIAL OUT
connector simultane-
ously (but not from the digital output in stop mode).
Beware of condensation
If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used
after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of
condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the
internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible.
To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the recorder sit for one
or two hours at the new room temperature before using.
