6 − Playback In this chapter we explain the playback functions for audio files stored on SD cards, CF cards and USB flash drives. The following explanations assume that an SD card, CF card or USB flash drive that contains an audio file is loaded in the unit, that the unit is on and that the current media is set appropriately. (See "Selecting the media used" on page 21.) Playable file types This unit can play files with the following formats. • WAV and BWF formats (wav extension) (44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192kHz sampling frequency, 16/24-bit) • DSDIFF format (dff extension) (2.8224/5.6448MHz sampling frequency) • DSF format (dsf extension) (2.8224/5.6448MHz sampling frequency) TIP This unit can play back a file even if it did not record it if the file is in one of the above formats. For example, if you use a computer or another audio device to copy a file that meets the above conditions to an SD card, CF card or USB flash drive and load that media in this unit, playing that file should be possible. In other words, you can efficiently prepare materials for playback on this unit. Files and tracks Audio data is saved on media in "files." If the MODE item on the CHANNEL screen is set to STEREO, one stereo file will be used as one track. If set to MONOx2, two mono files will be used as one track. (See "Setting the recording file format" on page 23.) When explaining recording and playback in this manual, we usually refer to audio files as "tracks" (or sometimes as "songs"). We mainly use the term "files" when explaining media management. In any case, these terms refer to the same thing. Basic playback operations This section explains basic operations including starting playback, playback standby and stopping. The following explanation assume that you have completed the necessary connections, that the unit power is ON, the current device is set, media containing audio files is loaded in that device and the Home Screen is open. Playback To start playback, press the PLAY button (or remote control PLAY button). If no audio file that can be played back by this unit is on the current media, the Home Screen will appear as follows. Selecting tracks If the play area has more than one track, you can either skip backward or forward to the track or enter the track number directly to select a track for playback. Skipping to the previous or next track Use the m[.]/,[/] buttons on the main unit or remote control to skip tracks. Selecting tracks directly On the BROWSE screen, you can turn the MULTI JOG dial to select a track, and press the PLAY button to start playing it. Searching backward and forward You can search forward or backward in a track while listening to the audio. 1. Play the desired track or put it into playback standby. 2. Press and hold the m[.]/,[/] button on the front panel or remote control to start searching backward or forward. The usual backwards / forwards speed is 10x normal playback, but during the a rerverse search, pressing the m[.] button or during a forward search, pressing the ,[/] button again will increase the speed to 100x for as long as that button is kept pressed. 3. To stop searching, release the button you are holding. The unit will return to the state it was in before searching (playback standby or playback). NOTE • If you search forward to the end of a track, searching will skip to the beginning of the next track and continue. • If you search forward to the end of the last track, the unit will enter playback standby unless the repeat setting is ALL, in which case searching will skip to the beginning of the first track and continue. (See "Repeat playback" on page 41.) • If you search backward to the beginning of a track, searching will skip to the end of the previous track and continue. • If you search backward to the beginning of the first track, the unit will enter playback standby unless the repeat setting is ALL, in which case searching will skip to the end of the last track and continue. (See "Repeat playback" on page 41.) To stop playback: Press the STOP button. To pause playback and enter playback standby: Press the PAUSE button. TASCAM DA-3000 39
