About CF cards
Precautions for use
CompactFlash cards are precision devices. To prevent damage to
the card or the slot, please observe the following cautions.
・ Do not leave a CF card in an extremely hot or cold location.
・ Do not leave a CF card in an extremely damp location.
・ Do not allow a CF card to become wet.
・ Do not place any object on top of a CF card, or twist or
bend it.
・ Do not subject a CF card to strong impact.
・ Do not insert or remove a CF card during recording,
playback, data transfer or other operations that access a
card.
Media that has been confirmed for use with
this unit
This unit uses CF cards for recording and playback.
We recommend using genuine TASCAM CF cards, but use of
other CF cards that are available commercially is possible.
Microdrives cannot be used with this unit.
The capacities and performance of your HS-4000 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, particularly
those made for high-precision DSLR cameras, not only perform
reading and writing faster, but also come in larger storage size.
A list of CF cards that we have confirmed to work with this unit is
provided on our website (http://www.tascam.com).
If a CF card is used that has not been confirmed, this unit might
not operate correctly.
