is off and use the INPUT MONITOR keys on
the DA-98 to turn off input monitoring on all
tracks.
[6] JOG/SHTL MON key and indicator
This key allows the selection of different monitor-
ing modes when shuttle mode is selected, either
with the units’ own
SHUTTLE controls, or from
the JOG/SHUTTLE key on the RC-828 [15].
This key and indicator duplicate the function of
the
SHTL MON key and indicator of the DA-98,
and provide these capabilities for the DA-38 and
DA-98.
Use the flowchart provided with this manual to
check the shuttle monitoring status of DA-38 and
DA-88 units in different modes (the provision of
confidence mode on the DA-98 means that this
model differs from the others), and you should
also consult the manual of the DTRS unit for full
details, if you are unclear about how shuttle moni-
toring works:
[7] RHSL key
This key duplicates the functions of the corre-
sponding key controlling rehearsal operations on
the DTRS units. See the appropriate section of the
DTRS manual if you are unsure of its operation.
[8] AUTO PUNCH key
This key duplicates the functions of the corre-
sponding key controlling auto punch operations
on the DTRS units. See the appropriate section of
the DTRS manual if you are unsure of its
operation.
[9] CLEAR key
This key duplicates the functions of the corre-
sponding key clearing punch points on the DTRS
units. See the appropriate section of the DTRS
manual if you are unsure of its operation.
[10] LOCATE POINTS 1–12
These 12 location keys and indicators are used for
the management of location memories. These
memories are stored and used with reference to
the DTRS unit’s current time reference (ABS or
timecode).
The indicator of a location memory containing a
location point will be lit, and pressing the key
(except in “capture” or erase mode, see [11] and
[12]) will locate to the point stored in that mem-
ory. Pressing a key whose indicator is not lit will
have no effect. The location point stored in the
memory will be briefly shown on the tape counter
of the DTRS units (for the DA-88 and DA-38–for
the DA-98 the location point will be shown briefly
on the LCD display screen).
While location is taking place, the indicator will
flash, and the indicator will light steadily again
when location is complete.
If the AUTO PLAY indicator [13] is lit, the DTRS
unit will start to play back when the location point
is reached, otherwise the transport will stop at the
location point.
[11] CAPTURE key and indicator
Press this key to enter “capture” mode. The green
indicator will flash. While in capture mode, press-
ing a
LOCATE POINT key [10] will store the
current tape position to the location memory cor-
responding to the
LOCATE POINT key.
If the memory does not contain data (the indicator
is not lit), the new position will be written to the
memory and the indicator will light. If the mem-
ory already contains a location point (the indicator
is lit), this will be overwritten with the new posi-
tion. Press the
CAPTURE key again to turn off
the capture mode (the indicator will stop flashing).
[12] ERASE key
To erase a location memory, press and hold down
the
ERASE key. While holding it down, press the
LOCATE POINT key [10] of the memory you
want to erase. The indicator of the LOCATE

NOTE
These location memories are independent of the MEMO 1
and 2 location memories stored in the DTRS units.
NOTE
The location points are stored in memory, backed up by a
battery whose life is a few years. When you turn on the
DTRS unit connected to the RC-828 with location memo-
ries stored in it, the same location indicators will light as
were lit at the time when you last turned off the DTRS unit.
If they do not light, the battery needs replacing, and you
should contact your TASCAM dealer regarding a replace-
ment battery.
