10 - Data Transfer Using a Computer By using a USB cable to connect the SSD/HDD case installed in this unit to a computer, you can transfer data between them and check the folder and file structure. Changing or deleting files inside folders, or changing their names, however, might make it impossible for the DA-6400 to play back those folders. Be aware of this possibility. 88 Warning about copying files to computers Be aware of the following precaution when copying files from a DA-6400 SSD/HDD to a computer. • If you want to be able to play files properly on a DA-6400 at a later date, copy complete folders and do not change their structures. Changing the folder structure or copying just BWF/WAV files could make it impossible for the DA-6400 to play files back properly with, for example, the correct number of channels and take numbers. 88 Warning about copying files from computers Be aware of the following precaution when copying files from a computer to a DA-6400 SSD/HDD. • The DA-6400 can only play linear PCM WAV files with sampling frequencies of 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96 kHz and bit depths of 16/24-bit. The DA-6400 cannot recognize files other than WAV files and will ignore them. • Files with different sampling frequencies mixed together in the same folder can be recognized as takes. Takes with sampling frequencies that are different from that set on the REC Fs screen, however, cannot be played back. We recommend that you only keep files with the same sampling frequency together in a folder whenever possible. (See "Setting the recording file format" on page 25.) • Do not copy files larger than 2 GB to a DA-6400 SSD/HDD. Doing so could cause operation of the DA-6400 to become unstable and damage files on the SSD/HDD.

Depending on the power supply capacity of the computer's USB ports and the type of SSD/HDD drive installed in the case, the power supply could be insufficient and the drive might not function properly. • Connect both type A connectors (1, 2) on the included USB cable to the computer first. Then, connect the USB 3.0 microB connector (3) to the SSD/HDD case. • Do not connect the type A connectors (1, 2) on the included USB cable to an AC adapter or any 5V power supply device other than the computer. Connecting to a power supply device besides the computer could damage all the equipment connected to the cable. TASCAM DA-6400/DA-6400dp 49
