Tascam DA-88 - Manual (Page 11)

34. CHASE key
Lets the slave DA-88(s) chase and lock to the same ABS
time point as the master. Once locked up, they will play,
record, or fast-wind in sync in response to the commands
from the master.
The installation of the optional SY-88 sync board allows
the DA-88 to run in sync with VTRs or other ATRs
(digital or analog). For more details, refer to the SY-88
manual.
35. CLOCK switch
Selects the clock to which the deck will be referenced.
If the DA-88 is used as a stand-alone deck, it has to be
referenced to the INT(emal) clock.
The WORD clock is used when making a digital copy
between the DA-88 and other digital tape machines, or
when letting them run in sync (the optional SY-88 Sync
Board is required).
For the DA-88 to be slaved to VTRs, select VIDEO (the
optional SY-88 sync board is required).
When one or more DA-88s are hooked up as the slaves, the
CLOCK switch on them are locked out (all the associated
LEDs turned off), and they are automatically referenced to
the clock to which the master DA-88 is referenced.
The next two items can operate only when the optional SY-
88 sync board is installed. For their functions, refer to the
SY-88 manual.

38. REMOTE IN/SYNC IN and SYNC OUT jacks
When two or more DA-88s are hooked up, a sync signal
and commands from the master's SYNC OUT jack are fed
into the first slave's SYNC IN jack; and its SYNC OUT
jack feeds the second slave's SYNC IN jack, and so on.
The optional RC-848 remote control unit may alternatively
be connected to the SYNC IN jack. The remote can control
a maximum of 6 DA-88s, separately.
lEF Use only the optional PW-88S sync cable for
establishing the sync in and out connection.
WARNING
Please use only TASCAM cables, as there are very
specific cable requirements, these cables are
specially configured for connection to REMOTE
IN/SYNC IN, SYNC OUT, METER UNIT, TDIF-1
(DIGITAL I/O).
(Do Not use standard computer cables.)
It is possible to damage certain internal components
by the use of non TASCAM cables. If the use of non
TASCAM cables causes or results in damaged this will
void the Warranty.
39. WORD SYNC IN and OUT jacks
The DA-88 can be referenced to the clock derived from the
WORD SYNC IN for it to be slaved to other digital tape
machines. Inversely, they can be slaved to the DA-88 by
letting them be referenced to the clock the DA-88 transmits
from its WORD SYNC OUT. (For the DA-88 and other
digital machines to be synchronized, the optional SY-88
Sync Board is required.)
The clock the WORD SYNC jacks carries may also be used
when making a digital copy between the DA-88 and other
digital machines.
40. REMOTE IN jack
For connection to the optional RC-808 basic remote
transport control unit.
41. REMOTE PUNCH IN/OUT jack
For connection to the optional RC-30P footswitch.
42. MACHINE ID rotary switch
For two or more DA-88s to be synchronized, they have to
be given their own ID (identification) numbers. Allot "0"
to the master, "1" to the first slave whose SYNC IN is
directly fed with the master's SYNC OUT; and, in a similar
