Tascam MD-801P Mk II Mode SET DIP switch bank, Keyboard connector, Remote Serial connector

2 - Rear panel

The wiring is, as marked on the rear panel: 1=ground, 2=hot (+), 3=cold (–).

The nominal impedance is 11 Ω.

The trimmer potentiometers by each connector may be turned counterclockwise or clockwise to cut or boost respectively the level of the signal sent from these connectors. The maximum cut achievable (rela- tive to nominal) is –7 dB and the maximum boost is +4 dB.

As shipped, the trimmers are set to the standard +4 dBu level.

[41] WORD SYNC IN

This BNC connector accepts a 44.1 kHz word clock (impedance 75 Ω) at 44.1 kHz (±6%).

[42] WORD SYNC THRU

This self-terminating BNC connector echoes the word clock signal received at [41].

[43] MODE SET DIP switch bank

This switch bank allows the setting of various local parameters.

No	OFF	ON
	(up)	(down)
	D		Allows the selection of a Japanese
			(106-key) keyboard (JAPAN
	K B	B D
1			KYBD ) or an American-style (101-
	N	K
			key) keyboard (US KBD ) to be
	JAPA	U S
			connected to [44] for titling, etc.
	FOF	NO	When set OFF , all front panel oper-
			ational controls are enabled.
2	S A F E	S A F E	When set ON , only the STOP key
			on the front panel are enabled when
			the MD-801 is playing as the result
	L	I L	of e command received from an
	FA I	FA
			external controller (RC-801, etc.).
	NRETNIA L	NRETXEA L	When OFF , any word clock signals
			received at [41] are not used, and
			the unit uses its own internal
3			clocking.
			When set to ON , the unit clocks to
	LCK	LCK
			the signal received at the WORD
	E X T	EX T	SYNC IN [41].

No	OFF	ON
	(up)	(down)
			When OFF , digital signals received
			at either [32] or [34] are not
	L		directly retransmitted.
			When the switch is set to ON ,
	ROM A	HTRU
4			received digital signals are retrans-
			mitted directly from the digital out-
	N	N
			puts [33] and [35]. This allows
	- I N	D - I
			autonumbering, etc. to take place
	D
			using multiple MD-801 units
			“daisy-chained” together.

[44] KEYBOARD connector

This connector is used to connect a PS/2-type com- puter keyboard which can be used for the direct alphanumeric entry of titles, etc. as well as for con- trolling playback operations.

Depending on the setting of MODE SET bank DIP switch 1 [43], either a US-type or a Japanese-type keyboard can be used. See 6, "Use of a keyboard with the MD-801" for details of keyboard-based operations.

[45] REMOTE (SERIAL) connector

This RS-232 interface allows control by a computer or by other serial controllers.

Consult your TASCAM dealer for details of this port if you wish to use it.

[46] REMOTE CONTROL connector

Use this connector to attach either an optional RC- 801 remote contoller or an optional RC-FS10/20 remote controller. Consult your TASCAM dealer for details of availability.

[47] REMOTE (PARALLEL) connector

Use this connector to attach an optional RC-8 remote control unit or to control the deck from a controlling device using parallel protocol.

[48] ~ IN (power in connector)

Connect the supplied power cord to this inlet. Make sure that your AC voltage matches the voltage expected by the MD-801, as printed on the rear panel.
