ative to normal speed): 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0. The 1.0 speed is only available when shuttling in the forward direction.

Shuttle operations are only possible when the SHUTTLE indicator is lit (press the SHUTTLE switch).

NOTE

If the SHUTTLE knob remains untouched at the center position for 10 seconds, the shuttle mode is dis- abled, and the indicator goes off.

8.6.1 Shuttle monitoring

This is also covered in 7.1.3, “Shuttle monitor- ing”.

The default behavior of the DA-98 is that when shuttling the tape, you can choose whether to monitor off-tape or source when shuttling, using the tracks’ INPUT MONITOR switches.

NOTE

When monitoring in shuttle mode, the monitor signal is attenuated by 12 dB (to avoid possible damage to ears and speakers ).

When AUTO MON [19] is on, the monitoring of any armed tracks will be off-tape, unless the SHTL MON [20] is on, in which case, the monitoring of armed tracks will be source input. The monitoring of all other (unarmed) tracks can still be switched on a track-by-track basis using the tracks’ INPUT MONITOR switches.

The SHTL MON key is only enabled when AUTO MON is on. When AUTO MON is off, it has no effect.

8.6.2 Shuttle muting

As explained above, shuttling the tape will usually allow off-tape monitoring. However, there may be times when you will want to mute all off-tape sig- nals when shuttling.

8.7 Reference levels

The value of reference level (for analog inputs and outputs) on the DA-98 can be selected from among three standard values: TASCAM, SMPTE and European reference levels, depending on the application. The meanings of these three levels are:

				Reference	Nominal	Maximum
	Standard			level
					level		level
				(0dBFs)
	TASCAM			–16dB	+4dBu	+20dBu
	European			–18dB	+4dBu	+22dBu
