Recording Hook-up Instructions

A TASCAM DA-38, DA-88, or DA-98

    1. Connect a TDIF cable from the TDIF port of the DTRS Machine (i.e. DA-38, DA-88, DA-98) to the TDIF1-A port on the TM-D1000. ( Part #CUPW8D/CUPW88DL)
    2. If you are using a DA-88, a word clock line must be connected from the Word Clock Out of the DA-88 to the Word Sync In of the TM-D1000.
    3. Select the digital input on your multitrack by pressing the "Digital In" button on the DTRS machine.
    4. Connect a balanced cable from your monitor outputs (not your stereo outputs) to the power amplifier for your monitor speakers.
    5. If you have a mixdown deck with a digital input, connect your mixdown deck to Digital Output A on the TM-D1000. Both SPDIF and AES/EBU connections are available. Be sure to set your digital format to the appropriate. (For instructions, see Section VIII- AES/EBU and SPDIF in/out.)
    6. If your mixdown deck only has analog inputs, connect the Stereo Outputs of the TM-D1000 to the input of your mixdown deck. Both balanced and unbalanced connections are provided.
    7. The mixdown deck will return through EXT INPUTS. Both balanced and unbalanced connections are provided.
    8. If you have a TASCAM MMC-38 or MMC-88, connect MIDI Out of the TM-D1000 to the MIDI In of the MMC-38/88, and the MIDI In of the TM-D1000 to the MIDI out of the MMC-38/88. Then, plug the TASCAM Sync Cable from the Remote Output of the MMC-38/88 to the SYNC In of the DA-38/88.

Connecting an ADAT or other Lightpipe machine

    1. Connect a TDIF cable from the TDIF1-A port of the TM-D1000 to the IF-TAD.
    2. Connect optical cables from the optical in of the IF-TAD to the out of the ADAT, and from the out of the IF-TAD to the Word Sync In of the TM-D1000.
    3. Connect a BNC to RCA cable from the Word Clock Out of the IF-TAD to the Word Sync In of the TM-D1000.
    4. Select the digital input on your multitrack. For an ADAT, push "Digital In" or "Digital Input" (depending on the vintage) of your ADAT. For other Lightpipe machines, consult that machine’s manual for settings.
    5. Connect a balanced cable from your monitor outputs (not your stereo outputs) to the power amplifier for your monitor speakers.
    6. If you have mixdown deck with a digital input, connect your mixdown deck to Digital Output A. Both SPDIF and AES/EBU connections are available. Be sure to set your digital format to the appropriate format. (For instructions, see Section VIII- AES/EBU and SPDIF in/out).
    7. If your mixdown deck only has analog outputs, connect the Stereo Output of the TM-D1000 to the input of your mixdown deck. Both balanced and unbalanced connections are provided.
    8. The mixdown deck will return through EXT INPUTS. Both balanced and unbalanced connections are provided.
    9. If you have an MMC to ADAT sync box, consult that unit’s manual for hook-up instructions and settings.

Master Word Clock Set-up

If you are using a DA-38 or DA-98, your master word clock should be set to TDIF1-A. This makes your multitrack machine the word clock master. DA-38 and DA-98 can both transmit word clock information through the TDIF1 line, and the TM-D1000 will follow that.

NOTE: The TDIF cable must be connected from the DA-38 or DA-98 to the TM-D1000 before setting the Master Word Clock. Otherwise, the TM-D1000 display will read "Error! No Signal TDIF-1 A". This means there is no word clock information at the TDIF port. The TM-D1000 then resets the Master Word clock to the internal clock.

If you are using a DA-88, your master word clock should be set to Word Sync In [44.1k] or Word Sync In [48k] depending on what sample rate you are using. If you formatted your tape at 44.1 kHz, then use Word Sync In [44.1]. If you formatted your tape at 48 kHz, then use Word Sync In [48k]. If you don’t know which sample rate you selected for your machine, there are two indicator lights on the DA-88 just to the right of the" tape eject" button labeled 44.1k and 48k.

Note: The BNC to RCA cable must be connected from the DA-88 to the TM-D1000 before setting the master word clock. Otherwise, the TM-D1000 display will read "Error! Fs Clock Error>Internal". This means there is no word clock information at the Word Sync In port. The TM-D1000 then resets the master word clock to the internal clock.

To set the master clock on the TM-D1000:

    1. Press SHIFT and PARAM SEL simultaneously.
    2. Rotate the DATA ENTRY dial to SYSTEM. Press ENTER.

    3. Rotate the DATA ENTRY dial to the Master Clock Select. Press ENTER.

    4. Rotate the DATA ENTRY dial to the appropriate source. Press ENTER.
