This unit uses CF cards for recording and playback. It uses USB memory devices for backing up DATA on CF cards and for saving files to CF cards. A list of USB memory devices/CF cards that we have confirmed to work with this unit is provided on our website (http://tascam.com/).

Precautions for use

USB memory devices and CF cards are precision devices. To prevent damage to the memory devices or card, please observe the following cautions:

Do not leave memory devices or cards in extremely hot

• or cold locations.

Do not leave memory devices or cards in extremely

• damp locations.

Do not allow memory devices or cards to become wet.

• Do not place any objects on top of memory devices or

• cards, or twist or bend them.

Do not subject memory devices or cards to strong

• impacts.

Do not insert or remove a USB memory device or CF

• card during recording, playback, DATA transfer or other

operations which access them Be sure to use cases to protect the connectors of

• memory devices and cards when carrying them.

Media that has been confirmed for use with this unit

This unit not only uses CF cards for recordin g and playback, but also uses USB memory devices for backing up DATA on CF cards and for saving files to 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-2000 will vary based on the speed and capability of the CF cards used. Older and some cheaper CF cards use slower memory components and little internal buffering which may result in poor recording performance. 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. A list of USB memory devices/CF cards that we have confirmed to work with this unit is provided on our website. Otherwise please consult TASCAM Customer Support Section. (http://tascam.com/).

Cautions related to display use

The display can easily be scratched, so do not use

• pointed objects, including fingernail tips, to touch it.

Always touch it with your fingers. Do not press the display forcefully with a finger

• or poke it with a pen, toothpick or other pointed

object. Doing so could scratch the display or cause malfunction.

The display touch screen is constructed of a film and

• glass. Do not apply strong force to its surface. Doing

so could break the glass. When using the display, do not put a hand on the

• panel or push around the display forcefully. Doing so

could prevent accurate position detection. Do not place anything on top of the display or

• otherwise put weight on the same place for a long

time. Doing so could cause the panel to warp or result in inaccurate position detection.

Do not apply a commercially-available screen

• protection film to the display. Doing so could prevent

normal operation. Gently wipe the display with a soft dry cloth that

• does not shed dust (e.g. a cleaning cloth). Avoid

wiping with a stiff cloth or rubbing with force. Doing so could damage the surface of the LCD. Do not use benzene, thinner, manicure remover, alcohol or similar substances.

NOTE

The display is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing technologies, and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, but sometimes pixels might not appear or might appear as red or black dots. This is not a malfunction.

6 – Operation Modes

This unit has the following four operation modes.

Timeline mode

Timeline mode provides a linear working environment similar to a tape recorder. In timeline mode, two tracks can be recorded and played back. Marks, including BWF-J CUE points, can also be edited.

Take mode

Take mode uses takes (files) as recording and playback units. Two tracks can be recorded and one or two tracks can be played back.

Marks, including BWF-J CUE points, can also be edited.

Playlist mode

Playlist mode provides a playlist playback function. One or two tracks can be played back.

On-air mode

This mode plays back audio files (that match the unit's set sampling frequency) in the root folder of the current card.

Two tracks can be played back.

Timeline mode functions

The following functions can be used in timeline mode.

Two-channel recording and playback possible at all

• compatible sampling frequencies (Fs)

Confidence monitoring allows the audio being

• recorded to be played back simultaneously (when

the sampling frequency is 44.1kHz, 48kHz or 48kHz±0.1% and the REC Mode is Single)

Mirror recording function using both CF card slots

• Recording and playback synchronized to timecode

• Bounce function can make a single file from a desig-

• nated section of the timeline

Marks, including BWF-J CUE points, can be set,

• managed, edited and used for playback

AES31 standard compatibility allows exchange of

• data with other devices

In timeline mode, playback units are called “regions,” and their extent is shown in the track area of the Home Screen.

NOTE

Because the AES31 file standard does not support

176.4kHz or 192kHz sampling frequencies, editing information for projects created using these sample rates will be saved using a TASCAM original format, based on AES31. This format might not be compatible with other products.

Take mode functions

The following functions can be used in take mode.

Editing playlists (adding, removing and working with entries)

A playback unit in a playlist is called an “entry”. A maximum of 100 entries can be added to a playlist. Only takes (files) in the session in which the playlist was created can be added as entries. If a take (file) that is in another session folder of the same project is added to a playlist, it will be copied to the folder of the session where the playlist was made. Even during playback of a playlist, entries can be added to or removed from it and their names can be changed. The entry that is currently playing, however, cannot be changed.
