TASCAM TM-D1000 Tutorial

Error Messages:
Option Cards - I installed my FX-D1000 and/or IF-TD1000 expansion cards, and the mixer won’t address
them and/or freezes up.
Output - I’m not hearing my mix properly -OR- at all.
Output - My pan controls aren’t panning anywhere! -OR- Everything’s in mono!
Output - There is a lot of static coming from the mixer.
TDIF - I plugged my TM-D1000 and DA-38/DA-88/DA-98 together with a TDIF cable, but no signal is
passing.
1) Error! No Signal... [Name of digital port i.e. TDIF-A, D in A, etc.]
2) Warning! Emphasis On... [Name of digital port i.e. TDIF-A, D in A, etc.]
3) Error! Fs Clock Error>Internal
4) Error! MMC System not closed
1) You need to have software version 1.18 or later to support those cards. The cards shipped with the software
update on an E-PROM. To check your software version:
2) The card’s ribbon cable may not be seated properly. Check that connection to make sure it is on all the way.
1) Is your monitor system plugged into the Monitor Output of the mixer? (Not the Stereo Output!)
2) Do you have L-R button pushed down? (Located above the Monitor Level control.)
3) Is there any level showing in the meter? If not, then there is nothing feeding the output. Solution: ADD
SOME SIGNAL!!!
1) The MONO phase compatibility switch is pushed down. (Located just above the MONITOR LEVEL control.)
Push it again to disengage it.
1) The word clock chain is not functioning properly. Determine which part of your digital set-up is the master,
and verify that the units are set up properly for that. (See Master Clock Set-up, page 5.)
1) Make sure you plugged the TDIF cable into the TDIF port of the DA-38. There are 2 other identical 25 pin D-
SUB connectors on the back of the DTRS machines. (The other two are for analog input and output.) The
TDIF cable should be plugged into the jack that says “TDIF” just above it.
2) Make sure the digital input is selected on your MDM. There should be a button labelled Digital In, or Digital
Input on your machine.
3) Make sure you used an authentic TASCAM or Cable-Up TDIF cable. Computer cables will not work, due to
different wiring configurations on the connectors. Also, some other cable companies have made TDIF cables
that are not wired properly.
A) This means you have a digital input set as the word clock master, but there is no information coming from it.
The master unit could either be disconnected or turned off.
A) This means you have a digital input set as the word clock master, and that master source has just switched
its sample rate. Press Escape to leave this screen. There is no action required when this message comes
up; it simply informs you that your sample rate has changed. (The TM-D1000 automatically changes sample
rate to match the master clock.)
A) This means you have a Word Sync port set as the word clock master, but there is no information coming
from it. The master unit could either be disconnected or turned off. The TM-D1000 now resolves to its
internal clock.
A) This means that MMC information is being sent to a recorder, but there is not 2-way communication. See the
MIDI Implementation section for more information on open/closed MIDI loops, and how to set them.
A) Press Option Monitor.
B) Press the DATA ENTRY dial down until the top line reads SYSTEM.
C) Turn the DATA ENTRY wheel all the way to the right. The system software version should be displayed.
