WARNING

Only use TASCAM-supplied and TASCAM-approved cables when making such connections. Though the cables and connectors may resemble computer cables, they serve different purposes, and meet a different set of specifications. The use of cables other than TASCAM cables will at best cause the equipment to work erratically, and at worst cause damage to the equipment.

If the use of cables other than TASCAM cables causes or results in damage, the warranty is voided.

It is likely that the RC-898 will be operated in an environment where there is more than one digital audio source available.

If this is the case, you must make sure that all dig- ital audio sources in the setup are driven by the same reference clock signal (“word clock” or “Word sync”).

If different clock sources are used throughout a setup, it is actually possible to damage speakers, etc. because of mismatches.

1.5 Accessories

Despite the powerful range of functions which may be controlled from the RC-898, the unit is relatively compact. It may be found convenient to mount the RC-898 on a roll-around stand, avail- able as CS-898.

Should you need extension meters from the tape decks, this can be achieved using MU-8824 meter units and appropriate mounting hardware (MK- 8924).
