TASCAM CD-RW402 Quick Start guide
This quick start guide is designed to help you with some of the special operations that demonstrate the unique features of the CD-RW402.
Naturally, it cannot pretend to be a comprehensive guide to all the facilities provided on
this equipment, but we hope that it will serve its purpose in getting you started with the
CD-RW402 and giving you some ideas of the capabilities of the unit.
Before you get going
There are some commonsense precautions which you should note before starting to work
with the CD-RW402.
• Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar unit, and
make sure there is enough space at the rear for cable connections, and for ventilation.
Allow 1U of rack space above the unit for ventilation.
• Avoid very hot, very cold or very humid locations for the CD-RW402.
• If possible, make the area where you work with the CD-RW402 into a smoke-free zone.
Smoke and dust are enemies of precision electronic devices.
• Always use high-quality cables and connectors with the CD-RW402, especially when
making digital audio connections.
• Always make connections to and from the CD-RW402 with the power turned off to all
units. This avoids possible damage to components, as well as avoiding “thumps”, etc.
through the monitoring system.
• If anything appears to be wrong with the CD-RW402:
• If an error message appears, make a note of it, as well as what you were doing immedi-
ately prior to the problem occurring.
• Read the manual. It may well contain something which is relevant to the problem you
have encountered.
• If you have Internet access, visit your local TASCAM Web site for the latest product
news, etc.
• Do not attempt to repair the CD-RW402 yourself. Arrange for it to be examined and
repaired by TASCAM-authorized service personnel.
