CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR UNIT.
On drum life
It is recommended to replace the head drum with a new one
within about 1,500 hours of use.
1. This unit is a sophisticated.digitai audio tape recorder. To
ensure proper operation for the best possible performance,
please read this manual carefully.
2. Before using this unit for the first time, wait 1 to 2 hours after
plugging the AC power cord into the wall outlet.
3. Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also
avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat,
cold or moisture. Keep it away from sources of hum such as
transformers or motors. If interference in TV or radio
reception occurs during operation, increase the distance
between the two components.
4. Do not open the cabinet as this may result in damage to the
deck or electrical shock, if a foreign object should drop into
the deck, contact your local dealer.
5. When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always
pull directly on the plug; never pull the cord itself.
6. Do not apply excessive force when operating switches and
knobs.
7. When moving the deck, be sure to first pull out the power
plug and remove all cords connecting the deck to other
equipment.
8. Do not attempt to clean this unit with chemical solvents as
this may damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
9. If the unit does not work properly while in use, after turning
the POWER switch OFF, disconnect the AC power cord plug
from the AC outlet and wait for about 30 seconds. After that,
connect it again to operate.
Dew condensation
Dew is the moisture that collects on a cold object in a warm room.
Dew can form on the drum and head inside the tape deck
causing damage to tapes and head. This unit contains a dew
prevention heater. Once the unit is connected to an AC outlet,
the heater turns on to prevent dew from forming. It takes from 1
to 2 hours to remove dew. When dew is detected on the drum
and head, the "DEW" indicator appears and the unit does not
operate. Wait about 1 to 2 hours after the display returns to
normal before using the unit.
Dew forms easily.
In highly humid and steamy rooms.
When carrying the unit from a cold place to a warm room.
* Use the unit at room temperatures from 5° C to 35° C. Dew
forms especially easily in cold temperature regions.
Amplifier volume adjustment
Digital audio tapes produce considerably less noise than regular
records and cassette tapes, and are extremely quiet between
programs. Be careful not to raise the volume too high and
exceed the amplifier and speaker ratings.
Recommended amplifier input impedance is 600 ohms or higher.
Connecting an amplifier (or other external audio device) having
an input impedance that is too low may decrease the level of the
output.
Rack mount
The front panel of this unit conforms to the 2U size standards and
can directly be installed in the 19 inch rack. Ffowever, if the
space of the rack is small, remove 4 legs from the bottom panel,
then install the unit in the rack. If the rack is not well ventilated,
the temperature inside the rack becomes high. Be sure to keep
the rack well ventilated.
10. Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual
for advice on common operating errors before concluding
that your unit is faulty.
11. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Cleaning the head
When the head is slightly dirty, noise is heard or dropouts occur
during playback. If the head becomes excessively dirty, a signal
read error occurs during playback, and the sound cannot be
heard. At this time, the "WARNING" Indicator appears. If this
occurs, use a commercially available digital audio cleaning tape
or have your Yamaha dealer clean the head. After prolonged

DAT (Digital Audio Tape)
DAT cassettes
Digital audio tape (DAT)
(OEm
Compact cassette tape
8.15 mm/Sec
A DAT cassette measures 2-7/8" x 7/16" x 2-1/8" (73 mm x
10.5 mm X 54 mm), nearly half the size of analog audio
cassettes. Furthermore, the case is constructed to prevent
the tape from being soratched or soiled.
DAT recording scheme
In the DAT system, the head is rotated at high speed and
mounted at an angle with respect to the direction of tape
travel.
The PCM (audio signal) area is recorded with the digital
signal which has been converted from the audio signal.
(PCM=Pulse Code Modulation). The subcode areas are
recorded with information such as the tune number,
individual tune elapsed time and absolute time. The
subcode areas enable accurate tune searching since the
signals in the subcode areas are read while the tape is
moving.
Sampling frequencies
There are 3 sampling frequencies used when converting
analog audio signals to digital signals: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz
and 32 kHz.
48 kHz: Used for commercially available DAT music tapes
or standard recorded DAT tapes.
44.1 kHz: Used for oommercially available DAT music tapes
and CDs.
32 kHz: Used for satellite broadcasts.
At 32 kHz, this DAT deck can not record analog signals.
13
Preventing accidental erasure
• To prevent accidental erasure, slide the tab to the left to
open the hole. The tape cannot be recorded even if the
REC button is pressed. See Fig. A.
• To allow recording on the tape again, slide the tab to
the right to close the hole. See Fig. B.
Handling digital audio tapes
• Digital audio tapes are precisely constructed to record
and play back highly accurate data. Never open the
cassette lid and touch the tape. Touching the tape may
damaged it.
• Do not use scratched, dirty or wrinkled tapes. Use of
such tapes may cause sound dropouts or damage the
head.
Storing digital audio tapes
• Always keep tapes that are not in use in their cases.
• Avoid storing tapes in direct sunlight, near heat
generating equipment or in humid locations.
• Avoid storing tapes in dusty locations.
• Do not store near strong magnetic fields (e.g. near
electric clocks, toys using magnets, etc.). Magnetic
fields will damage recordings.
• Do not drop or subject the tape to strong vibrations.
• Rewind the tape after use. If there is any slack in the
tape, rewind again.

Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
Most digital sources contain a copy prohibit code. This
unit utilizes the serial copy management system that
permits digital-to-digital recording for at least one
generation.
Even when a tape which has been recorded from analog
sources is dubbed, this system regards the source as a
digital source containing the copy prohibit code since the
dubbing was performed through the A/D converter, and
permits digital-to-digital recording only for one generation.

Introduction to DAT recording
Unlike ordinary audio cassette tapes, various control codes
called subcodes can be written on the DAT cassette tape
separately from the audio signal. The subcodes^are written
for a variety of convenient playback and tape editing
functions. You can write three types of subcodes; start ID,
end ID and skip ID.
Start ID: indicates the beginning of each tune and is used
for programming and searching for tunes.
End ID: Indicates the end of the recording.
Skip ID: Indicates the beginning of a section to be
skipped.
In addition, absolute time is automatically written after the
recording is completed.
• Before making an important recording, it is
recommended that you make a trial recording to ensure
that the desired audio is being recorded properly.
•
Turn the POWER switch ON.
Whenever the POWER switch is turned ON, the START
ID AUTO WRITE button is set to on and the button
lights up. The tune numbers will be written
automatically during recording. If the tune numbers are
not necessary, press the START ID AUTO WRITE button
so that the light of the button goes off.

Biank sections
With conventionai analog audio tapes, the sections on
which no recording has ever been made (biank seotion
created with fast-forwarding, etc.) and the sections on
which a recording has been made but the sound is muted
I I
(sound muted section created with the record muting
function) are treated the same, and they are used to search
for tunes, since no sound can be heard from these sections.
Conversely, the DAT deck distinguishes between blank
sections and sound muted sections, if biank sections
remain on the tape, search operation using the APSS
function may take quite a iong time and search operation
using absolute time may not be carried out properiy.
Therefore, when recording, be sure that no biank sections
are left on the tape.
In addition, since no-sound seotions between tunes must be
recorded on anaiog audio tapes for tune search operation,
-►i
recording no-sound sections (sound muted sections)
between tunes is recommended considering dubbing from
DAT cassettes to anaiog audio tapes.
Tune
• To insert siience between tunes, press the REC MUTE
button during recording. A sound muted section wiii be
created as long as the button is kept pressed. It is
recommended to create a sound muted section of
about 4 seconds for dubbing onto an anaiog audio tape
iater on. Do not create a biank section by advancing
the tape with the FF button (►►) or FLAY button (►).
• To start recording from the middle of the tape, use the
end search function (page 20) to locate the end of the
previous recording. This wiil avoid leaving a biank
section.

START ID SIGNALS AND TUNE NUMBERS
The actual number of a recorded tune on a tape and the
tune number displayed on the unit may not be the same,
even if the tune numbers are written automatically with the
START ID AUTO WRITE function. This may occur due to the
contents of the recorded tune.
The tune numbers may not be recorded properly when
reoording from sources that contain the following:
• Conversations with breaks in them.
• Low overall reoording level.
• Short intervals (i. e., 2 seconds or less) between tunes.
• Long quiet pianissimo passages.
• Noise or hum between tunes.
If the tune numbers are not written properly, it may be
necessary to add or erase the tune numbers.
When recording is performed from sources without silence
between tunes, it is recommended to write the tune
numbers manually during recording or after recording.
To write tune numbers manually during
recording
Press the START ID WRITE button (the button lights) at
the beginning of each tune.
Every time the START ID WRITE button is pressed, the start
ID signal is written and the tune number is switched to next
number. While the start ID signal is written, the ST-ID
indicator flashes.
• Manually writing the tune numbers is possible
regardless of the setting of the START ID AUTO WRITE
button.
• Up to 99 tune numbers can be written. If a tape which
contains more than 99 tunes is played, the tune number
is not displayed after the 100th tune.
To write start ID signals manually during
playback
A start ID signal indicates the beginning of a tune. If this
signal and corresponding tune number are not written, tune
selection by APSS, ARMS and direct selection is
impossible.
If start ID signals and tune numbers are not written properly
on a tape, insert start ID signals according to the following
procedure, and thdn renumber them (page 20).
1 During playback, press the START ID WRITE button
(the button starts flashing) at the point where the
start ID signal is to be inserted.
The tape is played back for 3 seconds and then
rewound to a point 2 seconds before the START ID
WRITE button was pressed. Playback starts from this
point for 5 seconds and repeats 10 times (Test
playback). Since the ST-ID indicator lights when the
tape encounters the start-ID signal, the placement of
the start ID signal can be verified. Check the position
of the start ID signal while listening to the test playback.
2 If the start ID signal is not correctiy inserted at the
beginning of the tune, move it backward or forward
with the REW (<4^) or FF (►►) button.
Each time the REW button (◄◄) is pressed, the start ID
signal moves backward 0.3 seconds. Each time the FF
button (►►) is pressed, the start ID signal moves
forward 0.3 seconds.
3 When the start ID signal is correctly inserted, press
the START ID WRITE button again during test
playback.
The button lights and the tape is rewound to the
beginning of the tune, and the start ID signal is written.
(While writing, the ST-ID indicator flashes.) Playback
resumes after the start ID signal is written.
19
Notes on writing start iD signais
• If a start ID signal Is written on a point where a skip ID
signal has been written, the skip ID signal Is erased.
The Interval between start ID signals (playing time of a
tune) should be 9 seconds or more. This 9-second
interval Is necessary to ensure proper operation of the
APSS function, ARMS function and renumbering tunes.
To erase start ID signals
If a start ID signal Is written on a undesirable point, you can
erase it during playback. Be sure to renumber the tunes
after erasing a start ID signal.
Press the START ID ERASE button (the button flashes) when the ST-ID indicator appears on the display.
The tape rewinds to the beginning of the tune being played
and the start ID signal is erased. While erasing, the ST-ID
indicator flashes. Playback resumes after the start ID
signal is erased.
• If a tune number is also written with the start ID, both
signals will be erased at the same time.
To renumber tune numbers
When start ID signals are inserted or erased, tune numbers
are displaced. Renumber the tune numbers following this
procedure.
END ID SIGNALS
An end ID signal indicates the end of a recording. The tape
does not advance beyond the point where this signal is
written. Therefore, it is easy to continue a recording from
Press the RENUMBER button in stop mode.
The tape is rewound to the beginning of the tape, and the
tune numbers are automatically renumbered at high speed.
Whenever the unit encounters a start ID signal, the proper
tune number is written starting from P-NO 1.
• When renumbering is completed at the end of the tape,
the tape automatically rewinds to the beginning.
the end of a previous recording. Also, this will avoid making
a blank section between recordings.
To write an end iD signal
During recording, press the END iD WRiTE button.
A sound muted section is automatically inserted and the
end ID signal is written. While the end ID signal is being
written, the END-ID indicator flashes and then the tape
automatically stops.
• When the unit encounters an end ID during playback,
fast-forwarding or cueing, the tune number changes to
"EE", and the tape stops automatically.
• Do not write an end ID signal if the interval between
start ID signals is shorter than 9 seconds. APSS and
renumbering functions may not be carried out properly.

2 start recording from the point where the tape stops.
Tune numbers and absolute time will be continued from
the previously recorded contents.
• The end ID signal of the previous recording is
automatically erased.
To erase the end ID signal
An end ID signal is automatically erased when successive
recording is performed using the end search function. To
erase an end ID signal without successive recording,
perform the following procedure.
When the tape stops after end search operation, press the END ID ERASE button.
The button starts flashing. When the end ID signal is
erased, the tape stops. (While erasing the end ID signal,
the tape is advanced for a few seconds and the END-ID
indicator flashes.)
