•

batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.

When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity

•

indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation), and install

them correctly in the battery compartment as indicated.

Putting them in backward could make the batteries

rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around

them.

When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their terminals

•

with insulation tape or something like that to prevent them

from contacting other batteries or metallic objects.

When throwing used batteries away, follow the disposal

•

instructions indicated on the batteries and the local

disposal laws.

Small children may mistakenly swallow a lithium coin

•

battery and it is very dangerous. Keep the battery and

the remote control out of the reach of small children. In

the event a battery is swallowed, immediately consult a

physician.

Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not

•

mix and use new and old batteries or different types of

batteries together. The batteries could rupture or leak,

causing fire, injury or stains around them.

Do not carry or store batteries together with small metal

•

objects. The batteries could short, causing leak, rupture

or other trouble.

Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them

•

in fire or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing

fire, injury or stains around them.

If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the

•

battery case before inserting new batteries. If the battery

fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss of eyesight. If

fluid does enter an eye, wash it out thoroughly with

clean water without rubbing the eye and then consult a

doctor immediately. If the fluid gets on a person’s body

or clothing, it could cause skin injuries or burns. If this

should happen, wash it off with clean water and then

consult a doctor immediately.

Do not leave them in extremely humid places.

•

Do not let them get wet.

•

Do not put things on top of them or twist them.

•

Do not hit them.

•

Do not remove or insert an SD card during recording,

•

playback, data transfer or other operation that accesses

the card.

Precautions for placement and use

The operating temperature should be between 0°C and

•

40°C (32°F and 104°F).

Do not install in the following types of places. Doing

•

so could degrade the sound quality and/or cause

malfunctions.

Places with significant vibrations or that are

•

otherwise unstable

•

Places that could be directly exposed to rain or other

•

water

Hum might occur if a powered amplifier or other device

•

with a large transformer is used near this unit. If this

should happen, try increasing the distance between this

unit and that device and changing their orientations.

Uneven colors might appear on televisions and noise

•

might be heard from radios that are used near this unit.

If this should happen, use the unit further from the

affected device.

TASCAM DR-100MKII

3 – Preparation for Use

Preparing the power

Power source options

This recorder can be powered by the included TASCAM BP-

L2 lithium-ion rechargeable battery, two AA batteries, a

TASCAM PS-P520 AC adaptor (sold separately) or a TASCAM

BP-6AA external battery pack (sold separately). By using

both the lithium-ion rechargeable battery and AA batteries

together, the unit can be operated continuously for a long

time. Moreover, when, for example, the charge becomes

low in one type of battery, batteries can be changed while

the unit continues to operate. Alkaline and nickel-metal

hydride AA batteries can be used with this recorder.

NOTE

Manganese dry cell batteries (R6) cannot be used with

•

this unit.

This unit cannot recharge Ni-MH batteries. Use a

•

commercially available recharger.

Using the lithium ion battery

Open the battery compartment cover on the side of the

unit, insert the battery with the correct orientation into the

compartment, and then close the cover again.

Charging the lithium ion battery

There are two ways to charge the lithium ion battery.

Charging with an AC adaptor

Connect a TASCAM PS-P520 AC adaptor (sold separately) to

the unit's DC IN 5V connector. Charging takes about three

hours. (See “Using an AC adaptor (sold separately)” on page

21.)

Charging with a computer

Connect with a computer using the included USB cable.

Charging takes about six hours. (See “7 – Connecting with a

Computer” on page 47.)

NOTE

Connect this unit to the computer directly. Proper

•

operation cannot be guaranteed when using a USB hub.

When connected by USB, recharging occurs even if the

•

unit’s power is off.

When recharging through the USB port, the unit will

•

switch to USB connection mode, so other functions

cannot be used.

The

•

CHARGE indicator lights while charging and turns

off when charging is complete.

CHARGE

indicator

Using AA batteries

Open the battery compartment cover on the back of

the unit, install the two batteries with the correct +/–

orientation and close the battery compartment cover.

When using AA batteries, set the type of battery in order

to accurately show the amount of power remaining and

allow the unit to accurately determine whether power is

available for proper operation. (See “Setting the type of AA

batteries (AA BATTERY)” on page 51.)

Using both types of batteries together

If you install both the lithium ion battery and AA batteries,

you can set one as the main power source and the other as

the backup. (See “Setting the main battery source (MAIN)”

on page 50.) By doing this, when the amount of power

left in the main source becomes insucient for operation,

the unit automatically switches to the backup source,

allowing continued operation. Moreover, you can change

the backup while operating using the main power source.

This allows you to continue to use the unit for long periods

of time. (See “Changing batteries when the power is on” on

page 50.)

Mics

When using a condenser mic that requires phantom power,

set the +48V switch on the bottom panel to ON.

Using phantom power

When the +48V switch on the bottom panel is set to ON,

phantom power is turned on and sent to the connected

mics.

CAUTION

Confirm that phantom power is OFF before connecting

•

a line level device to a XLR (MIC/LINE 1) IN connector.

If you connect a line level device while phantom power

is being supplied, that device and this unit could be

damaged.

When using a condenser microphone, before

•

connecting to and disconnecting from a XLR (MIC/LINE

1) IN connector, confirm that the phantom power for

that connector is OFF. If you connect or disconnect a

mic while phantom power is being supplied, that mic

and this unit could be damaged.

Do not supply phantom power to the

•

XLR (MIC/

LINE 1) IN connector when an unbalanced dynamic

microphone is connected to it. Doing so could damage

the mic or this recorder.

Turn phantom power ON only when using a condenser

•

microphone that requires phantom power.

Supplying phantom power to some types of ribbon

•

microphones could break them. Do not supply phantom

power to a ribbon microphone if you are in doubt.

Do not connect or disconnect the AC adaptor when

•

using phantom power. Doing so could damage this

device.

Since using phantom power reduces the amount

•

of time the unit can operate on battery power, we

recommend that you use a TASCAM PS-P520AC adaptor

(sold separately) or TASCAM BP-6AA external battery

pack (sold separately).

If alkaline batteries are used to supply phantom

•

power, some microphones will only be able to be used

for a very short amount of time. For this reason, we

recommend that you use a TASCAM PS-P520AC adaptor

(sold separately) or TASCAM BP-6AA external battery

pack (sold separately).

The amount of time that the unit can operate on battery

•

power varies greatly according to the type of mic used.

See the mic manual or documentation for additional

information.

automatically according to the analog input level, so

that the recording level will not be distorted even if the

input signal is very loud.

When set to

AUTO

(auto gain control), the gain is

automatically adjusted to make the volume as even as

possible. The gain increases for low-level input signals,

and the gain decreases for high-level input signals.

NOTE

When the input is LINE 1/2, regardless of the

•

TYPE

setting, the inputs will always be treated as

STEREO

When the input is LINE 1/2, regardless of the

•

LOW CUT

setting, this function will always be

OFF

When the

•

TYPE

is set to

MONO

, the recording will not be a

mono file. Rather, it will be a stereo file with the same

signal recorded on both left and right channels.

CAUTION

When recording with microphones, use headphones for

monitoring. If you use speakers for monitoring, the sound

output from the speakers will also be input resulting in

poor recording quality and possibly noisy feedback.

TIP

If noise from air conditioning or wind during an outdoor

Adjusting the analog input level

Before starting recording, the analog input level should be

adjusted to prevent the recorded sounds or signals from

being distorted due to excessively large input signals or

from being inaudible due to excessively low input signals

compared to noise.

In addition to manual adjustment, the unit has the

following two level adjustment functions: auto gain control

and limiter. Any of these can be used as required.

TIP

In addition to adjusting the analog input level, try changing

the distance and angle between the microphone and the

sound source. The angle and distance of the microphone

can also change the character of the recorded sound.

Manually adjusting the analog input level

The following procedures explain how to set the levels.

NOTE

When the level control function is set to auto gain control

( appears at the top left of the recording screen), the

analog input level cannot be adjusted manually. If you

want to adjust the analog input level manually, set the

LEVEL CTRL

item to

LMT

on the

INPUT SETTING

screen. (See

“Using the level control function” on page 32.)

1 Move the MIC GAIN switch on the bottom of the

recorder to the setting you want.

MIC GAIN

L (LOW)

Use to record band performances and other loud sounds

or close sound sources.

M (MID)

Use to record acoustic guitars and wind instruments, for

example.

H (HIGH)

Use to record meetings, voices and other quiet sounds or

distant sound sources.

NOTE

The DR-100MKII has been designed with high gain to

•

enable it to record even very quiet sounds. For this

reason, if using an AC adaptor when the MIC GAIN is set

to H (HIGH), touching the mics could cause noise (hum

or modulation) to be heard depending on placement

conditions. To avoid this, do not touch the built-in mics

when recording with them.

When the input is set to

•

LINE 1/2, the MIC GAIN setting

is disabled.

2 Press the RECORD [0] button to start recording

standby.

The RECORD indicator will blink and the recording

screen will open.

3 Adjust the analog input level using the INPUT knob

on the right side panel.

The PEAK indicator to the left of the display lights red

when the input level is too high.

A b mark is provided at –16 dB on the level meters. Set

the analog input level so that the indicator bars move

to and fro with this mark at about the center without

causing the PEAK indicator to light red when the

loudest sounds occur.

NOTE

Press the

•

STOP [8] button to exit recording standby.

When the

•

MIC GAIN switch is set to M (MID), if the

level meters do not extend very far even as the INPUT

volume setting approaches 10, set the MIC GAIN to

H (HIGH). On the other hand, if the level meters stay

extended even as the INPUT volume setting approaches

0, set the MIC GAIN to L (LOW).

CAUTION

When in recording standby or during recording, the

speaker does not output sound even if the SPEAKER

switch is enabled. Connect headphones to the jack on

the left side panel if you want to adjust the level or record

while monitoring the input.

Use the /SP OUTPUT volume control to adjust the

monitoring volume. This does not aect the sound to be

recorded.

input level, so that even if the input volume is very loud

recording will occur at a level without distortion.

AUTO

The gain is automatically adjusted to make the volume

as even as possible. The gain increases for low-level

input signals, and the gain decreases for high-level

input signals. This is useful for recording at the same

level people in a meeting who are at different distances

from the microphones, for example.

NOTE

When set to

•

AUTO

(auto gain control), the input gain is

adjusted automatically, so the INPUT volume control

has no effect.

When the input is LINE 1/2, regardless of the setting, it

Dividing files and creating new files

while recording

Creating new files manually while recording

(track incrementing)

You can manually split a recording by creating a new le.

Press the / button while recording.

NOTE

When new files are created, incremental numbers are

•

added to the end of each file name.

A new file cannot be created if the total number of files

•

and folders would exceed 999.

Files shorter than two seconds cannot be created.

•

If the name of a newly created file would be the same as

•

that of an existing file, the number will be incremented

until the new file has a unique name.

Track increment is not possible in OVERDUB mode.

•

Creating new files automatically while

recording (automatic track incrementing)

Without pausing recording, a new le can be created

automatically during recording when a le size or analog

input level set in advance is exceeded. (See “Selecting le

format, sampling frequency, and maximum le size” on

page 27 and “Start new les automatically during recording

(TRK INC)” on page 36.)

Automatically cutting silences during

recording

The unit can be set to automatically pause recording when

it detects silence, and then restart recording when the

signal is input again. (See “Enabling automatic recording”

on page 35 and “Automatically pausing recording (PAUSE)”

on page 36.)

This does not create new les, but cuts unnecessary

silences, reducing the amount of card space used.

Moreover, a mark is automatically added at the time when

the unit pauses, making division after recording easy. (See

“Moving to a mark position” on page 37.)

Dividing a file manually (DIVIDE)

You can split a recorded le into two les at any position

you like. This is convenient for splitting a continuous

recording into multiple les.

1 Select a file to be divided using the . or /

button or the

BROWSE

screen.

2 Press the MENU button to open the

screen.

3 Use the wheel to select

DIVIDE

menu item.

4 Press the ENTER/MARK button to open the

DIVIDE

screen.

5 Use the wheel to determine where the file will be

divided, and press the RECORD [0] button.

6 Press the ENTER/MARK button to divide the file, or

press the STOP [0] button to cancel the operation

and return to the

DIVIDE

screen.

NOTE

When the

•

DIVIDE

screen is open, you can press the

PLAY/PAUSE (y/9) button and to set the divide

position while playing the track.

After dividing a file, two new files with ”_a” and ”_b”

•

added to the end of the original file name are created.

For example if the original filename is “DR-100_0000.

wav” then the new files will be named “DR-100_0000_

a.wav” (the recording before the division point) and

“DR-100_0000_b.wav” (the recording after the division

point).

MP3 files cannot be divided.

•

If the SD card has insufficient open space, division might

•

not be possible.

Division is not possible if the file name would become

•

more than 200 characters long.

Division is not possible if a file that already exists has the

•

same name as the name that would be given to a new

file created by division.

TIP

Add marks during recording at positions where you

•

want to divide a file.

Marks can be added manually (s

•

ee “Adding marks

manually during recording and playback” on page 36)
