What’s in the box

When you unpack the box, you should find (as well as this manual):

•The unit itself (DP-02, or DP-02CF)

•Power adaptor

•Power cable suitable for your region

•Warranty card

If any of these items is missing, contact your TASCAM supplier.

WARNING

When using the unit, use only the power adaptor and cable supplied with product. Do not use this power adaptor and cable with any other product.

Precautions for placement and use

The DP-02/DP-02CF may be used in most areas, but to maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following notes, precautions and environmental conditions:

•Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.

•Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).

•The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).

•Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.

•As the unit may become hot during operation, always leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do not install this unit in a confined space such as a book- case, and do not put anything on top of the unit.

•Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating electrical device such as a power amplifier.

•Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for correct operation.

•The voltage supplied to the unit should match the volt- age as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

Beware of condensation

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the player sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature before using.

Media considerations (DP-02CF only)

The capacities and performance of your DP-02CF will vary based on the speed and abilities of the Compact Flash (CF) media used. Older and some cheaper Compact Flash (CF) cards use slower memory components and little internal buffering which results in poor recording performance. Newer CF cards, not only perform reading and writing faster, but also come in larger storage size.

The DP-02CF supports only Type I Compact Flash media. Type I cards are typically FLASH-ROM based and provide higher performance and durability than hard disk cards.

A current list of stated CF cards and their capacities is maintain and available for viewing on the TASCAM website at www.tascam.com

NOTE

A card more than 512 MB should be used on the DP-02CF.
