DTRS recorder connections WARNING 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. Connect the appropriate TDIF interface of the DM24 to the TDIF interface of the DTRS unit using a TASCAM cable. The interface carries both input and output signals. If expansion slot cards have been fitted, consult the appropriate documentation for these cards for full details of operations, etc. Use an appropriate TASCAM remote cable to connect the DTRS REMOTE CONTROL connector of the DM-24 to the REMOTE/SYNC IN of the first DTRS unit in a chain. Connect the SYNC OUT of this unit to the REMOTE/SYNC IN of the next unit in the chain, and so on. Remember to terminate the last unit in the chain. Control the remote DTRS units as described in "External control" on page 87. The TDIF signal can carry timing signals, but for reliability, it is suggested that a separate word connection is made wherever possible, whether the DM24 will be acting as a word clock master or as a slave. This connection need only be made to the first DTRS unit in the chain (with the lowest ID). Other units in the chain receive their clock through the REMOTE/ SYNC connections. 46 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual

TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
Digital connections
The digital audio connections mentioned here refer
to the standard (non-expanded) model and are all
made on the rear panel of the unit.
If expansion slot cards have been fitted, consult the
appropriate documentation for these cards for full
details of operations, etc.
DTRS recorder connections
WARNING
Only use TASCAM-supplied and TASCAM-approved
cables when making digital audio and control con-
nections to the DM-24. Though the cables and con-
nectors may resemble computer cables, they serve
different purposes, and meet a different set of
specifications. The use of cables other than TAS-
CAM 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 TAS-
CAM cables causes or results in damage, the
war-
ranty is voided.
Connect the appropriate TDIF interface of the DM-
24 to the TDIF interface of the DTRS unit using a
TASCAM cable. The interface carries both input and
output signals.
Use an appropriate TASCAM remote cable to con-
nect the
DTRS REMOTE CONTROL
connector of the
DM-24 to the
REMOTE/SYNC IN
of the first
DTRS unit in a chain. Connect the
SYNC OUT
of
this unit to the
REMOTE/SYNC IN
of the next unit
in the chain, and so on. Remember to terminate the
last unit in the chain.
Control the remote DTRS units as described in
“External control” on page 87.
The TDIF signal can carry timing signals, but for
reliability, it is suggested that a separate word con-
nection is made wherever possible, whether the DM-
24 will be acting as a word clock master or as a slave.
This connection need only be made to the first DTRS
unit in the chain (with the lowest ID). Other units in
the chain receive their clock through the
REMOTE/
SYNC
connections.
