6 - Communication functions With the built-in microphone and headphones connected to the PHONES jack, you can use this unit to communicate with remote crew. To communicate with people using other devices, connect this unit's LINE OUT 2/TALKBACK connectors to the inputs on devices that you want to communicate through, and connect those devices' outputs to this unit's RETURN IN 1 and RETURN IN 2 connectors. Communicating with the built-in microphone (TALKBACK) The signal from the built-in microphone can be output through the LINE OUT 2/TALKBACK connectors. 1 Set the TO LINE OUT 2 switch to ON. 2 Speak in the direction of the built-in microphone while pressing the TALKBACK key. 3 Sound input through this unit's built-in microphone is output to the devices connected to the LINE OUT 2/TALKBACK connectors. Listening to RETURN IN signals Sound output from devices connected to the RETURN IN 1 and RETURN IN 2 connectors is mixed with the input signal from the PHONES IN jack. This allows you to listen to communication from other devices while monitoring the recording signal. The signals input through the RETURN IN 1 and RETURN IN 2 connectors are adjusted separately using the RETURN IN 1 and RETURN IN 2 knobs, respectively. Each also has a SOLO key that reduces the signal input through the PHONES IN jack by -20 dB when ON before mixing its signal with the signals input through the RETURN IN connectors in the analog domain.

TASCAM RC-F82
With the built-in microphone and headphones
connected to the
PHONES
jack, you can use this unit to
communicate with remote crew. To communicate with
people using other devices, connect this unit’s
LINE OUT
2/TALKBACK
connectors to the inputs on devices that
you want to communicate through, and connect those
devices’ outputs to this unit’s
RETURN IN 1
and
RETURN
IN 2
connectors.
Communicating with the built-in
microphone (TALKBACK)
The signal from the built-in microphone can be output
through the
LINE OUT 2/TALKBACK
connectors.
1
Set the TO LINE OUT 2 switch to ON.
2
Speak in the direction of the built-in microphone
while pressing the TALKBACK key.
3
Sound input through this unit’s built-in microphone
is output to the devices connected to the LINE OUT
2/TALKBACK connectors.
Listening to RETURN IN signals
Sound output from devices connected to the
RETURN IN
1
and
RETURN IN 2
connectors is mixed with the input
signal from the
PHONES IN
jack. This allows you to listen
to communication from other devices while monitoring
the recording signal.
The signals input through the
RETURN IN 1
and
RETURN
IN 2
connectors are adjusted separately using the
RETURN IN 1
and
RETURN IN 2
knobs, respectively. Each
also has a
SOLO
key that reduces the signal input through
the
PHONES IN
jack by -20 dB when ON before mixing
its signal with the signals input through the
RETURN IN
connectors in the analog domain.

Setting the headphones output
(PHONES)
The signals input through
RETURN IN 1
and
RETURN IN
2
connectors are mixed in the analog domain with the
signal input through the
PHONES IN
jack and then the
mix is output through the
PHONES
jack. Use the
PHONES
knob to adjust the volume.
Use the
L MONO
and
R MONO
keys to select the mono
signal of the left or right channel. When both
L MONO
and
R MONO
keys are ON, the left and right channel
signals are mixed and output as a single mono signal.
