TASCAM FW-1884 Setup Guide
The cable supplied with the FW-1884 is 6-pin to 6-
pin—some computers are only fitted with a 4-pin
IEEE 1394 connector, and we recommend that for
full bandwidth, you use a computer with a 6-pin
IEEE 1394 connector.
NOTE
Although an IEEE 1394 connection can supply power to
some types of device, it is not possible to use such a con-
nection to power the FW-1884.
Before installing the software
The normal precautions apply when setting up the
FW-1884:
• Make all (computer, audio and MIDI) connections
to the FW-1884 with the power turned off. See the
next section for details of how to make connec-
tions.
• Do not connect the FW-1884 to the computer until
you have installed the software.
• Handle the enclosed CD-ROM with care. If it
becomes dirty or scratched, it will be impossible
for a computer to read it, and the software cannot
be installed. If the disc becomes unreadable, a
charge will be made for its replacement, but soft-
ware and documentation can be downloaded from
the TASCAM Web site.
• Do not attempt to play the enclosed CD-ROM
using an audio CD player, as this may cause dam-
age to hearing, as well as to speakers, etc.
