TASCAM DV-RA1000HD

HDD and ODD

The DV-RA1000HD is equipped with a DVD drive and
hard disk drive. Since a DVD drive plays optical discs,
such as CDs and DVDs, it is referred to as an “ODD
(Optical Disc Drive)” in this manual. The hard disk
drive is referred to as “HDD (Hrad Disc Drive).”

The DV-RA1000HD enables you to switch between
ODD mode and HDD mode.

In ODD mode, you cannot use the HDD. In HDD mode,

you cannot use the ODD (excluding opening and clos-
ing of the disc tray).

When you press the

ODD

key in HDD mode, the

DV-RA1000HD will save the current project in the HD,
then switch to ODD mode. When you press the

HDD

key while operating a DVD disc in ODD mode, the
DV-RA1000HD will perform the Save UDFMI func-
tion, then switch to HDD mode.

Drive mode

The DV-RA1000HD enables you to record data on the
internal HD, or to various optical discs, such as CD-R,
CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW.
The functions available with these discs vary depend-
ing on the type of media. For example, some types of
discs are writable, and some are not. Some are rewrit-
able, and some are not. Select an appropriate disc to
suit your purpose. There are also different disc formats,
depending on the type of media. However, any format
is compatible with Windows and Macintosh computers.

Internal HD
The HD of DV-RA1000HD enables you to record audio
data that is compatible with computer-based digital
audio workstations. You can select 44.1/48 kHz, 88.2/96
kHz, 176.4/192 kHz and 24-bit. The DSD format
recording is available, too. You can also write data to
the HD using copy mode, or record data directly.

The hard disk format is FAT32.

DVD+RW and DVD-RW
These discs also enable you to record audio data that is
compatible with computer based digital audio worksta-
tions. You can also write data to the HD using copy
mode, or record data directly.

The disc format is UDF1.5. When you eject a disc or
shut down the DV-RA1000HD, the disc drive writes
the UDF management information (required for the
DV-RA1000HD to read information on the disc) to the
disc.

You must perform the “close” operation when using a
DVD-RW disc on the DV-RA1000HD to enable your
computer to read data from the disc.

NOTE

The files recorded in DVD+RW discs using this unit
can be played back on the Tascam DV-RA1000.
Also, the files recorded on DVD+RW discs using the
DV-RA1000 can be played back with this unit.

DVD+R and DVD-R
Use these discs when you wish to duplicate project
data recorded on the unit HD. They are suitable for
archiving materials recorded with the DV-RA1000HD.
Note that data can be written in copy mode, but not
recorded directly.

The written data cannot be edited; that is, you cannot
edit the files or change the markers.

The disc format is ISO9660.

CD-R and CD-RW
You can directly record audio CD in CD-DA format.
Furthermore, you can add recordings as long as the
disc is not finalized. You can also delete or unfinalize
data on CD-RW discs, which enables you to record data
repeatedly.

During the direct recording of these discs, the
DV-RA1000HD functions as a standard CD recorder
that features synchronized recording and other func-
tions. You can, of course, play store-bought audio CDs
using the DV-RA1000HD.

Furthermore, you can create audio CDs from audio
tracks stored on the unit’s HD, or copy audio from
audio CDs to the HD.
