Media that has been confirmed for use with
this unit
This unit not only uses SD cards and CF cards for recording
and playback, but also uses USB memory devices for
backing up DATA on SD cards/ CF cards and for saving
files to SD cards/ CF cards.
We recommend using genuine TASCAM CF cards, but
use of other CF cards that are available commercially is
possible.
Microdrives cannot be used with this unit.
The capacities and performance of your HS-2 will vary
based on the speed and capability of the SD cards and
CF cards used. Older and some cheaper SD cards and CF
cards use slower memory components and little internal
buffering which may result in poor recording perfor-
mance.
Older and some cheaper USB memory devices use slower
memory components and little internal buffering which
may result in requiring more time to read and write DATA.

Write Protect for SD cards
This unit writes track information onto the media to
improve operational performance. Because you cannot
write track information to SD cards with write protection,
operations such as reading media will require more time.

formatting on this unit. Media formatted on this unit
is optimized to improve recording performance on
