TASCAM DA-40
NOTE
The time set here is real time, rather than the
time shown on the tape counter, which in LP
mode is half that of real time. Accordingly, in
LP mode, if the time is set to 4 seconds, this
will be the pre-roll time, even though only 2
seconds show on the tape counter.
The default value is 0 seconds.
3.10End tally signal
Controls the timing of the tape end tally signal trans-
mitted through the
CONTROL I/O [34] port. The
signal can either be transmitted at the end of the tape,
or at a fixed interval before the tape end.
The values available are: T-End (the tally signal
will be transmitted at the end of the tape), 1min ,
2min and 3min (the tally signal will be trans-
mitted before the end of the tape is reached).
The default value is T-End .
3.11Auto rewind
This menu item determines whether the tape will be
automatically rewound when the end of the tape or an
END ID is reached in play mode.
The two options available are: off (the tape will
not be rewound when the end of the tape or an END
ID is reached) and
on (the tape will be automati-
cally rewound when the end of the tape or an END
ID is reached).
The default value is off .
3.12Fast forward mode
This menu item determines whether the F FWD and
REW keys will act as cue and review keys, respec-
tively, if they are pressed while the tape deck is in
play mode. The two settings are
Normal (the
unit will go from play mode to fast wind) and Cue
(the unit will enter cue/review mode when the fast
wind keys are pressed).
The setting made here also applies to fast wind com-
mands made through the
CONTROL I/O [34] con-
nector, and using the optional RC-D45 remote
control unit.
The default value is Normal .
3.13Parameter save
Saves the following parameters so that they become
the default parameters when the tape deck is next
powered up:
• Single Play
• Skip Play
• Repeat Mode
When this menu item is first displayed, the right side
of the display shows:
---- . To save the current
settings, turn the DATA dial [19] , so that the display
shows Save , and press ENTER [26] .
3.14Initializing settings
Resets all menu values to their default settings except
for the head time, (see 3.1, "Drum time (head
time)"), which cannot be reset.
To reset the values to default, turn the DATA dial
[19] so that the display shows Init. and press
ENTER [26] .
If the screen shows Init. in error, turn the DATA
dial again so that the display shows ---- .
3.15Viewing points at which block
errors have occurred

once more following the reset screen above.
This displays up to five points in ABS time format
where the block error rate has increased, and error
correction is used. Turn the
DATA dial to view the
five points at which these errors have occurred. Turn-
ing the dial clockwise after error #5 will show the
