1 − Introduction
TASCAM SS-R1

Media considerations
The capacities and performance of your SS-R1 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, not only perform reading and writing
faster, but also come in larger storage size.
NOTE
A card more than 512 MB should be used on the
SS-R1.
The SS-R1 supports only Type I Compact Flash media.
Type I cards are typically FLASH-ROM based and provide
higher performance and durability than hard disk cards.
A current list of stated CF cards and their capacities is
maintain and available for viewing on the TASCAM
website at www.tascam.com
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 loca-
tion.
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. •

Environmental considerations
The SS-R1 may be used in most areas, but to maintain top
performance, and prolong operating life, observe the fol-
lowing environmental conditions:
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.
As the unit may become hot during operation, always
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do
not install this unit in a confined space such as a book-
case, and do not put anything on top of the unit.
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
electrical device such as a power amplifier. •

Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for
correct operation.
Do not use any benzene, paint thinner, ethyl alcohol
or other chemical agents to clean the unit as it could
damage the surface. To clean the unit, wipe gently with
a soft dry cloth.
NOTE
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the
voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any
doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

The following should be noted when you connect the unit
to other equipment.
It is possible to connect the unit’s DIGITAL COAXIAL IN ,
and balanced or unbalanced ANALOG INs (L, R) to other
equipment at the same time. However, the unit can receive
signals from only one digital input at a time. Currently
selected input jack is shown on the display.
Audio signals output from the unit are output from the bal-
anced or unbalanced
ANALOG OUT jacks, as well as from
the DIGITAL COAXIAL OUT connector simultaneously
(but not from the digital outputs in stop mode).
Beware of condensation
If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used
after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of
condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the inter-
nal mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the player sit for one or
two hours at the new room temperature before using.
