4 - Parts of the DM-24-Rear panel S Automation control keys and indicators These keys (REHEARSE, WRITE, TRIM and REVERT) are used to control the automa- tion functions. These keys have other functions, as selected by the 2ND F key (F). NOTE Although some of these keys have similar names to other keys on the DM-24, note that their functions are restricted to automation operations. Rear panel The rear panel of the DM-24 houses the digital audio and control connections. 1 23 4 56 7 8 9 A B C NOTE Only use TASCAM-supplied and TASCAM-approved cables when making digital audio and control connections to the DM-24. Though the cables and connectors may resemble computer cables, they serve different purposes, and meet a different set of specifications. The use of cables other than TASCAM cables will at best cause the equipment to work erratically, and at worst cause damage to the equipment. If the use of cables other than TASCAM cables causes or results in damage, the warranty is voided. 1 TO METER This 25-pin 'D'-sub connector is used to connect the DM-24 and the optional MU-24/ DM meter unit. 2 ADAT [IN, OUT] Use these "lightpipe" con- nectors to connect ADAT-compatible units to the DM-24 with a Toslink-type optical cable. Each of these connectors carries eight digital audio input or outputs channels. DE The input may be used as a clock source, and routed to any of the three groups of eight input channels (1 through 8, 9 through 16, 17 through 24). 3 WORD SYNC [OUT/THRU, IN] and switch These BNC connectors are used for word sync. The switch controls the behavior of the connectors (75Ω input impedance and switching between OUT and THRU functions) as described here: Position Left Center Right 75Ω IN termination? No No Yes OUT/THRU Thru Out Out A THRU setting means that the connector echoes the word sync signal received at the IN. An OUT setting means that the DM-24 originates a word sync signal (and is therefore to be the word sync master for the system). 34 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
