[31]SHIFT

This key is a latching key. When active, the indicator

beside and above the key lights, and the command

keys take on their shifted functions, as indicated by

the blue captions above them.

See 4, "SHIFT functions" for details of these shifted

functions.

[32]DIGITAL (AES/EBU) INPUT/OUTPUT

These XLR-type connectors conform to the AES/

EBU3-1992 standard and are used to accept

(INPUT) and transmit (OUTPUT) digital audio data

in that format. The INPUT connector can also

receive balanced IEC60958 format (SPDIF) data.

The format of data received (AES/EBU or SPDIF) is

automatically detected.

[33]DIGITAL (COAXIAL) INPUT/OUTPUT

These RCA connectors conform to the IEC60958

standard (SPDIF), and are used to accept (INPUT)

and transmit (OUTPUT) digital audio data in that

standard. The INPUT connector can also receive

unbalanced AES/EBU3-1992 format data. The for-

mat of data received (AES/EBU or SPDIF) is auto-

matically detected.

[34]CONTROL I/O

This 15-pin ’D’-sub connector is used for connection

to a suitably-equipped controller.

As well as the mode described in the table below, this

connector can also be used as a serial connector.

Please contact your TASCAM distributor for details

of this facility.

The pinouts of this connector are given below:

[35]REMOTE IN

This 3.5 mm jack is used to connect the optional RC-

D45 remote control unit.

Do not use this jack to connect any remote control

unit other than one designed especially for use with

the tape deck.

[36]Power cord

Make sure that the power supply voltage matches the

voltage requirements of the tape deck as marked on

the rear panel. If there is any doubt, consult your

TASCAM dealer.

[37](BALANCED) ANALOG INPUTS

These female XLR connectors provide balanced

inputs at a nominal +4 dBu level. The wiring of these

connectors is:1 = ground, 2 = hot, 3 = cold. The nom-

inal impedance of these connectors is greater than

25 kΩ.

[38](UNBALANCED) ANALOG INPUTS

These RCA connectors provide unbalanced inputs at

a nominal –10 dBV level. The nominal impedance of

these connectors is greater than 50 kΩ.

[39](UNBALANCED) ANALOG OUTPUTS

These RCA connectors provide unbalanced outputs

at a nominal –10 dBV level. The nominal impedance

of these connectors is less than 1 kΩ.
