DA-88 ERROR NUMBERS AND THEIR DESCRIPTION
ERROR DESCRIPTION
S-Err-01 Mechanical Problem (tape path, guide, drum motor, etc.)
S-Err-02 Irregular head drum speed. The drum motor spin command is given, but no tachometer pulses from the frequency generator (FG) coil are
received for 1.5 seconds. This can happen if the tape has come in contact with lubricant from the mechanism. The Bernoulli ef fect explains how
a spinning drum creates a cushion of air between the tape and the heads. The lubricant, however, will stop the head dead in it s tracks.
S-Err-03 Combination of Errors 1 & 2
S-Err-04 Capstan Motor Problem. The motor spin command is given, but no FG signal is detected within 1.5 seconds.
S-Err-05 Combination of Errors 1 & 4
S-Err-06 Combination of Errors 2 & 4
S-Err-07 Combination of Errors 1,2 &4
S-Err-08 Reel Problem (take-up or supply). No FG received from either reel table for 1.5 seconds.
S-Err-09 Combination of Errors 1 & 8
S-Err-10 Combination of Errors 2 & 8
S-Err-11 Combination of Errors 1,2 & 8 (a mechanical mode change is not completed within 5 seconds).
S-Err-12 Combination of Errors 4 & 8
S-Err-13 Combination of Errors 1,4 & 8
S-Err-14 Combination of Errors 2,4 & 8
S-Err-15 Combination of Errors 1,2,4 & 8
S-Err-21 The reel tables do not wind the tape in preparation for Eject.
S-Err-31 The tape is loose or caught. Tape width varies within a specified tolerance. If the tape path has been adjusted for a narrow or easily flexed tape,
a wider or stiffer tape may get caught in the guides. The System control monitors both reel table tachometers, as well as the Head and Capstan
tachs. Any conflicting information will halt the transport.
S-Err-41 The solenoid does not engage during FF/RW (100x speed).
S-Err-59 In Eject mode, the reels do not start to drive, or do not lock for more than 1.5 seconds
S-Err-68 In Play mode, the reels do not start to drive, or do not lock for more than 1.5 seconds.
E.CLOC
K No clock data, or incorrect setting of the clock switch or machine time base reference. This could also indicate a mismatch in the machine ID
numbers and/or missing sync signal such as video or word clock.
E.t cut The tape is broken.
Ed io Digital I/O error. No digital device is detected at the T-DIF port. Check to see if cables are connected and power is on. You must use TASCAM
cables or other individually shielded twisted pair cable.
E.dE Dew sensor has detected condensation on the head drum. This occurs when a machine is brought from a cold to a warm area. Leave the
machine powered so the heat from the electronics will evaporate the moisture.
E.HI-8.t The tape is not a HI-8 formulation. You must use either a metal particle (MP) or metal evaporated (ME) HI-8 Tape.
E.thin.t The tape inserted is too thin. Use a 90 or 120 minute tape.
Clearing Errors Generally Errors can be cleared by re-booting the machine. However some errors require the machine be serviced immediately. This is
usually the case with S-Err-11, as the tape could be locked in the transport.
