Please read this chapter if you are unable to use the unit properly even after setting it up following the procedures in this manual.

If you are still unable to resolve your problems please contact TASCAM customer support with the following information about the operating environment and details about the trouble.

If some trouble is causing installation to fail, or installation completes but the computer does not recognize the unit, check the following.

1)Is the unit’s USB indicator lit green? If the USB indicator is not lit, confirm that the USB cable is properly connected.

NOTE

Always use the included USB cable.

2)Change the USB port

Since the unit may not properly function with some USB ports, try connecting to a different (built-in) USB port, and reinstall the driver.

NOTE

•• Do not use a USB hub. Always connect the unit directly to a USB port on the computer (built-in).

Since antivirus software and other software that runs in the background can interfere with installation, stop them before beginning installation.

See page 12 of this manual for how to install and uninstall the driver.
