WARNING

More than one such word sync source can cause serious problems, including possible damage to monitoring equipment.

The DM-3200 can act as a word sync master or slave (set up in software—see “Clock setting” on page 44). The switch allows the OUT to act as a THRU when the DM-3200 is receiving word sync signals, as well as enabling and disabling 75Ω termination on the input.

TO METER Use the cable provided with the optional meter bridge (MU-1000) to connect the meter bridge to this connector of the DM-3200.

FOOT SW Connect a standard momentary foot (or other) switch to this 1/4" jack. It can either be push- to-make or push-to-break, as the polarity can be changed in software.

For details of how to do this, as well as how to set up the footswitch, see “SWITCH utility” on page 37.

USB This is used to connect the DM-3200 to a host computer for bi-directional control. This is, the com- puter can control the DM-3200—see the documenta- tion supplied with the TASCAM utility software— and the DM-3200 can be set up as a DAW controller, controlling the DAW software running on the host computer.

We strongly suggest that you use only the USB cable supplied with the DM-3200 to make the USB con- nection, and that this connection and disconnection are made with the DAW software, or any other soft- ware communicating with the DM-3200, not running.

Note that no drivers are necessary when using the DM-3200 with OS X or Windows XP.

Power input As always, check to make sure that the voltage requirements marked on the unit match your power supply. Use a properly grounded power supply, and connect the DM-3200 to it using a power cord which provides grounding facilities (such as the one provided with the DM-3200).
