The HS-P82 supports only Type I Compact Flash media. Type I cards are typically FLASH-ROM based and provide higher performance and durability than hard disk cards.

A list of CF cards that we have confirmed to work with this unit is provided on our website (http://www.tascam.com).

CAUTION

We can accept no responsibility for any loss of the data you record using this product onto a CF card.

Precautions for use

CompactFlash cards are precision devices. To prevent damage to the card or the slot, please observe the following cautions.

Do not leave a CF card in an extremely hot or cold

• location.

Do not leave a CF card in an extremely damp location.

•

Do not allow a CF card to become wet.

•

Do not place any object on top of a CF card, or twist

• or bend it.

Do not subject a CF card to strong impact.

•

Beware of condensation

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used immediately after a cold room has been heated or otherwise exposed to a sudden temperature change, condensation could occur. Should this happen, leave the unit for one or two hours before turning the unit on.

Cleaning the unit

Wipe the unit with a soft dry cloth to clean it. Do not use any benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other chemical agents. Doing so could damage the surface of the unit or cause fading.

Cleaning the display

Slightly 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.

About CF cards

The capacities and performance of your HS-P82 will vary based on the speed and abilities of the Compact Flash (CF) media used. Older and some cheaper Compact Flash (CF) cards use slower memory components and little internal buffering which results in poor recording performance. Newer CF cards, not only perform reading and writing faster, but also come in larger storage size.

Project: Contains all the materials for one program or work

Scene: Includes all the materials for a certain part of a

project

Take: A recording that is part of a scene

File formats

This unit can record and play the following types of file formats.

File format: BWF

• Sampling frequencies: 44.1, 48, 48 pull-down, 48

• pull-up, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz

Bit length: 16 or 24

• Number of tracks:

• 1–8 tracks (at 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96 kHz)

1–8 tracks + stereo mix (at 44.1 or 48 kHz) 1–4 tracks (at 176.4 or 192 kHz)

File mode: monophonic or polyphonic

When set to “ON,” the time code continues to advance even while the power is turned OFF, so when you turn the power ON again, the time code generator restarts with a continuation of the running time. This makes capturing the time code again and other preparations unnecessary.

However, since this function uses the built in clock as the basis for interpolation, sometimes a small error might occur in the value of the restarted time code.

When frame type is 23.976F, 29.97DF, 29.97ND, 30DF, deviation will be larger.

USB

By connecting this unit with a computer by USB, you can transfer data and check the composition of folders and files. Be aware, however, if you change or erase a file inside a project, or change any names, the HS-P82 might not be able to play that project.

Precautions when copying files to a

computer

Please be aware of the following when copying files from a CF card formatted for the HS-P82 to a computer.

If you plan to play a project correctly on an HS-P82

• again at a later date, copy the entire project folder and do

not change any part of it. If you change the composition of the folder or copy only the WAV files, the unit might not be able to play the project with the correct number of tracks or track numbers, for example.

Precautions when copying files from a

computer

Please be aware of the following when copying files to a CF card formatted for the HS-P82 from a computer.

To play a copied file, execute the REBUILD option on

• the project selection page of the

The HS-P82 can only play back linear PCM WAV files

• that have sampling frequencies of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96,

176.4 or 192 kHz and bit rates of 16 or 24 bits. It cannot play any other type of file. The HS-P82 cannot recognize files in formats other than WAV. The unit will ignore other types files.

Files with different sampling frequencies cannot be used

• in the same project. Only add files to an existing project

that have the same sampling frequency as the project. Files that have sampling frequencies that are different from the project setting cannot be played.

File and folder names that use Japanese and other

• multi-byte characters cannot be displayed correctly.

Do not copy files larger than 2 GB to a CF card formatted

• for the HS-P82. Doing so could cause operation of the

unit to become unstable and other files on the CF card to be damaged.
