1 – Introduction

SD cards and USB flash drives

This unit can use SD cards and USB flash drives for playback and dubbing.

A list of SD cards and USB flash drives that we have confirmed to operate with this unit is posted on the TASCAM website (http:// tascam.com/)

Handling precautions

SD cards and USB flash drives are made with precision. In order to avoid damaging SD cards and USB flash drives, please observe the following precautions when handling them.

•

Do not leave them in places that are extremely hot or cold.

•

Do not leave them in places that are extremely humid.

•

Do not get them wet.

•

Do not place objects on top of them or twist them.

•

Do not subject them to strong impacts.

•

Do not remove or insert them during dubbing, playback or data transfer or at other times they are being accessed by the unit.

•

When transporting them, do not leave their terminals exposed (use covers).

About media that have been confirmed for use with this unit

This unit uses SD cards and USB flash drives for playback and dubbing.

Old SD cards and USB flash drives, as well as some new ones, might have memory components with slow operating speeds or small internal buffering capacities. Use of such cards and drives could affect the dubbing performance of this unit.

Please refer to the list of SD cards and USB flash drives that we have confirmed to operate with this unit that is posted on the TASCAM website. You can also contact TASCAM customer support. (http://tascam.com/)

About discs

In addition to audio CDs (CD-DA), the CD-200SB can play CD-R and CD-RW discs on which audio CD, MP3, MP2 or WAV format files are recorded. The CD player can also play 3-inch CDs

Handling of compact discs

Always place the compact discs in the trays with their label

• facing upward.

To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center of

• the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by

the edges. Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side).Fingerprints,

• oils and other substances can cause errors during playing.

To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry

• cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Dirt on discs

can lower the sound quality, so clean them and always store them in a clean state.

Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzine,

• paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs. This

could damage the delicate playing surface and cause CDs to become unplayable.

Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use

• discs that have had tape, stickers or other materials applied

to their surface. Do not use discs that have sticky residue from stickers, etc. Such discs could become stuck in the unit or cause it to malfunction.

Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using stabi-

• lizers with this unit will damage the mechanism and cause it

to malfunction. Do not use cracked discs.

• Only use circular compact discs. Do not use non-circular

• promotional, etc. discs.

SD card/USB flash drive write-protection

This unit writes settings used by the direct folder function (page

32) to the media in order to save them. Since direct folders settings cannot be written to SD cards and USB flash drives that are write-protected, these settings will be lost when the media is removed and the power is turned OFF.

Precaution regarding use with Mac operating systems

The number of songs and track numbers within a folder might not match on SD cards and USB flash drives that have been written on by a Mac. This is an existing problem with Mac system files, but it will not affect playback on this unit.

If the “Trash” is not emptied on a Mac, the open space on an SD card or USB flash drive could be insufficient and dubbing and other operations might not be possible. Empty the Trash before ejecting an SD card or USB flash drive from a Mac.

Some record companies sell copy-protected discs or copy-

• controlled discs that may not play back correctly in this unit.

Since such discs may not conform with the CD standard, do not use them in this unit.

If you experience problems with such non-standard discs,

• you should contact the producers of the disc.

ile other than audio)

00002.mp3(Track 002)

In this chapter, we explain playback functions that can be used with tracks on audio CDs and audio files on data CDs, SD cards and USB flash drives.

The following explanations assume that a CD, SD card or USB flash drive that contains audio files/tracks has been loaded in this unit, the power is ON and the current media has been selected appropriately. (See “Selecting the playback media” on page 19.)

Playable media and files

This unit can play back the following types of media and files.

CD-DA (audio CD) format discs

Music CDs that are commercially available and CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded as audio CD format can be played. In this manual, these types of discs are called “audio CDs.”

Data CDs

This unit can play back CD-ROM/R/RW discs with MP3, MP2 and WAV files in ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 and Joliet formats. In this manual, these types of discs are called, “data CDs.”

NOTE

This unit cannot read CD-R discs that have not been finalized.

SD cards and USB flash drives

In addition to files (WAV, MP3) dubbed using this unit, this unit can also play back audio files that have been recorded by other devices or written using a computer or another audio device if they are in the following formats.

Playable file types and their file extensions

AAC .3gp .m4a .mp4 MP2 .mp2 MP3 .mp3 WAV .wav WMA .asf .wma

NOTE

•

For details about playable sampling frequencies and bit rates, see “Playback file formats” on page 46.

•

The sampling frequency of this unit’s digital output is always

44.1 kHz regardless of the playback media/file sampling frequency. Digital output is possible when pitch control is ON, but the sampling frequency is altered in proportion to the pitch control value. When the pitch control function is ON, therefore, some equipment might not be able to receive the digital output of this unit.

•

This unit’s display can only show single-byte characters (alphabet and numbers). File with names that use Japanese, Chinese or other double-byte characters can be played back, but those characters will be shown as _ on the display.

•

This unit identifies MP3 and MP2 files by their “.mp3” and “.mp2” file extensions. This unit cannot play MP3/MP2 files that do not have the correct “.mp3” and “.mp2” file extension, so always include these file extensions at the ends of MP3/MP2 file names. This unit cannot play files that are not in the MP3/MP2 data format even if they have an “.mp3” and “.mp2” file extension.

•

The unit identifies WAV files with the ".wav" file extension. This unit cannot play WAV files that do not have the ".wav" file extension, so always include the ".wav" file extension at the end of the name of an WAV file. The unit cannot play files that are not in the WAV data format even if they have the ".wav" file extension.

•

Data CDs with more than 999 files or 513 folders might not play correctly.

•

Depending on disc conditions, this unit might not be able to play some discs, or skips in the sound might occur.

Folders and tracks on data CDs, SD cards and USB flash drives

This unit treats all the audio files on data CDs, SD cards and USB flash drives as “tracks”. Some data CDs store files inside folders in the same way that computers usually do. In addition, multiple folders can be stored inside another folder creating a multilevel structure. (The maximum number of folder levels is 16.)

You can use this unit’s folder search function to look for audio files among multiple folders. Searching starts from high-level folders and then moves to lower-level subfolders.

If there are audio files in the root directory of a data CD, this root directory is also treated as a folder.

Folders that do not directly contain audio files will be ignored when searching folders. For example, folders C and D in the illustration below would be ignored when searching folders.

7 – Dubbing (copying)

Using this unit’s dubbing (copying) function you can dub the content of a CD to an SD card or USB flash drive. Moreover, you can change the format used for the dubbed files.

Dubbing overview

When this unit dubs a CD to an SD card or USB flash drive, it plays the CD back continuously regardless of the playback mode setting.

When dubbing a data CD, depending on the playback area setting, the entire CD ( will be dubbed to the SD card or USB flash drive.

Dubbing always creates new folders and creates the dubbed files in those folders.

Dubbing never deletes existing files. A dubbed folder can be assigned as a direct folder to the

selected main unit FOLDER/TRACK SELECT (1–10/0) button or remote number (1–10/0) button.

Formats of dubbed files

This unit can create dubbed files in the following formats. WAV MP3 (HQ/MQ/LQ)

NOTE

When dubbing, a folder named “/music/albumXXX/” (“XXX” is a 3-digit number, such as “001”) is created on the media used for dubbing, and a file is created for each dubbed CD track with a file name in the format “trackXXX.wav” (or “trackXXX.mp3”). When set to ALL PLAY, if you dub a data CD with multiple folders, all the files will be dubbed to single folder.

Operation during dubbing

During dubbing, this unit operates in the following manner.

o The audio of the CD being dubbed is output. o SD cards and USB flash drives cannot be played back. o Continuous playback mode is used for CD playback

regardless of the playback mode setting.

NOTE

•

Depending on the SD card or USB flash drive used for dubbing, recording might not be able to keep up with the audio input. If this occurs, the CD playback sound might skip or parts of the audio might be repeated during playback. This will not, however, affect the recording to the SD card or USB flash drive.

•

When an audio CD is dubbed, silent gaps will occur between dubbed tracks when they are played back even if the audio on the CD was continuous between tracks.

•

When dubbing a data CD, it does not simply copy the files on the CD to the SD card or USB flash drive.

•

Regardless of the sampling rates of the source files, the dubbed files will all be converted to a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz.
