IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1 – Starting out with your DP-02/DP-02CF
Thank you for your purchase of TASCAM’s latest 8-track
digital portastudio, the DP-02/DP-02CF.
The DP-02 and DP-02CF are designed to provide you with
great sound in an easy-to-use compact package, allowing
you to concentrate on the music, and not on the recording
process.
Getting started
Read this section first. It contains important basic informa-
tion about using your DP-02/DP-02CF effectively, and will
help you create exciting original musical projects. When
you have read this chapter (“Starting out with your DP-02/
DP-02CF” on page 7), you will be able to find your way
around the DP-02/DP-02CF, and to make and play back
recordings.
The stereo mix can then be played back into a suitably-
equipped CD recorder, etc., or into a computer’s audio
inputs for distribution over the Internet, etc. or transferred
using a fast USB 2.0 connection to a personal computer.
In addition, individual tracks can be imported and export-
ed between your DP-02/DP-02CF and a personal computer,
and songs can be archived, backed up and restored using a
PC.
The DP-02/DP-02CF allows you to record many hours of
music, up to two tracks at a time, to a maximum of eight
tracks, and then mix them down to a pair of mastered
stereo tracks using the built-in mixing facilities.
DP-02 Line-up
There are two models, the DP-02 and DP-02CF. The
DP-02/DP-02CF is equipped with phantom-powered XLR
input jacks, and the DP-02 additionally is equipped with
internal effect processors. The DP-02 contains a large hard
disk and also an internal CD-R/RW drive. The DP-02CF
uses a Compact Flash Card (not included with the unit)
memory recorder (not provided with an internal CD-R/RW
drive).
This manual refers to both models as “the unit”, as the
majority of the functions are common to both models.
Also, their hard disk and CF card are described as “record-
ing media.” Any other exceptions are noted.
Chapter 4 of this manual, “DP-02 Appendix” on page 58,
deals with the features found on only the DP-02. If you
own a DP-02, please read the chapter.
Manual conventions
This first section gives you an idea of the basic opera-
tions of the DP-02/DP-02CF and will get you started with
recording. Further features are described in “Advanced
techniques” on page 29.
This manual cannot begin to be a full guide to multitrack
recording techniques. However, if you visit the TASCAM
documents on recording which may be of interest to you.
When we refer to features of the DP-02/DP-02CF such as
keys and connections, we display them like this: MENU.
Troubleshooting The DP-02/DP-02CF was designed
to be easy to use, but sometimes you may need a little help.
See the section “Troubleshooting” on page 53 for a list of
questions you may have, and answers to help you. There’
s also a list of messages that may pop up, with an explana-
tion of their meaning, and suggestions on what to do (see
“Messages” on page 54).
We refer to features of other equipment like this: AUX IN.
When we show messages, etc., that appear on the screen,
we show them like this: SONGLOAD.
T I P
: We give hints and tips on using the DP-02/DP-02CF
when you see this icon.
How to do it? At the back of this manual, there is
a chapter called “Commonly-used functions” on page
76. Refer to this section when you want to know how to
perform a particular operation.
NOTE
: A note at the side of the main text provides addi-
tional explanations for special situations.
CAUTION
: A caution shows that you may lose data (your
recordings) if you don’t follow the instructions.
WARNING
: Warnings should be taken seriously. They
describe situations which can cause injury, or damage to
the equipment if you do not follow the instructions,

What’s in the box
When you unpack the box, you should find (as well as this
manual):
If any of these items is missing, contact your TASCAM
supplier.
WARNING
• The unit itself (DP-02, or DP-02CF)
• Power adaptor
• Power cable suitable for your region
• Warranty card
When using the unit, use only the power adaptor and
cable supplied with product. Do not use this power
adaptor and cable with any other product.
Precautions for placement and use
The DP-02/DP-02CF may be used in most areas, but to
maintain top performance, and prolong operating life,
observe the following notes, precautions and environmen-
tal conditions:
• As the unit may become hot during operation, always
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do
not install this unit in a confined space such as a book-
case, and do not put anything on top of the unit.
• Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
• Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for
correct operation.
• The voltage supplied to the unit should match the volt-
age as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt
regarding this matter, consult an electrician.
• Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and
humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.
• Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV
sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).
• The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
• Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.
Beware of condensation
If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used
after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of
condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the
internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible.
To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the player sit for one or
two hours at the new room temperature before using.
Media considerations (DP-02CF only)
The capacities and performance of your DP-02CF will
vary based on the speed and abilities of the Compact
Flash (CF) media used. Older and some cheaper Compact
Flash (CF) cards use slower memory components and
little internal buffering which results in poor recording
performance. Newer CF cards, not only perform reading
and writing faster, but also come in larger storage size.
The DP-02CF supports only Type I Compact Flash media.
Type I cards are typically FLASH-ROM based and provide
higher performance and durability than hard disk cards.
A current list of stated CF cards and their capacities is
maintain and available for viewing on the TASCAM
NOTE
A card more than 512 MB should be used on the
DP-02CF.

NOTE
Microphones are connected to the rear panel inputs.
Set the GUITAR switches to MIC/LINE. Turn the input
level controls so that the OL indicators light up only in the
loudest part of the recording.
INPUT MODE does not affect the recording at all—just
the monitoring process.
•MONO x 2—The signals from input A and input B are
NOTE
both sent to the center of the monitoring “stage”.
The unit includes phantom-powered XLR microphone
input connectors. See “Balanced XLR inputs” on page
14 for details of using these connectors.
NOTE
In the MONO X 2 mode, the A and B input signals are
added together in the center, and you may hear distor-
tion in the monitoring system This does not affect the
recording, though.
Synthesizers, etc. including drum machines, guitar
amplifier simulators, active basses, etc. as well as CD play-
ers, cassette decks, and so on can be connected to the rear
panel input jacks using standard 1/4” mono plugs (unbal-
anced). When you are recording a stereo source, make sure
the INPUT MODE key is set to STEREO (see “The INPUT
MODE key” below).
•STEREO—The signal from input A is sent to the left,
and the signal from input B is sent to the right of the
monitoring “stage” forming a stereo pair for use when
you are recording stereo instruments such as synthesiz-
ers, etc.
Set the GUITAR switch to MIC/LINE. Adjust the input level
controls and use the instrument’s output volume controls
to adjust the level so that the OL indicators light up only
during the very loudest passages.
Monitoring and recording Use the rear panel LINE
OUTPUT RCA jacks to connect the unit to your monitoring
system (that is, an amplifier/ speaker setup). When you’re
ready to make your final stereo master, you can use these
jacks to connect to an analog recorder.
WARNING
NEVER plug the speaker outputs of a guitar amplifier
into the unit.
A typical setup would connect these jacks to the AUX IN
of a stereo system.
Guitars and basses (passive types) are connected to
the rear panel INPUT A using a standard 1/4” mono plug
(unbalanced).
Use the stereo system’s selector switch to listen to the AUX
source when tracking, bouncing or mastering on the unit.
Set the MIC/LINE switch to GUITAR. Turn the input level
control until the OL indicators barely light on the loudest
passages.
NOTE
“Tracking” means recording tracks on the unit.
“Mastering” means taking these recording tracks and
mixing them down to stereo.
T I P
Use the built-in tuner (on the DP- 02 only) to tune the
guitar or bass (see “Tuning a guitar” on page 58).
When you have mastered the stereo track and you want
to record it, set the stereo monitoring system so that the
recorder is set to the AUX source. Now you are monitoring
(or listening) through your stereo system.
The INPUT MODE key You will use this key when you
are recording from input A and input B at the same time.
This top panel key affects the way that you monitor the
input signals, both through the headphones and/or through
the LINE OUTPUT jacks. There are two positions:

SEND of the unit to the mono input of the processor (1/4”
unbalanced jack).
Digital output Use a standard optical cable to connect
this to a suitable digital stereo input of monitoring system,
or stereo recorder.
NOTE
NOTE
The DP-02 owns internal reverb processors. However,
you can also use an external effect processor if you
prefer.
You can connect a digital recorder (CD,MD) using the
digital connection, while using the LINE OUTPUT jacks
for monitoring.
Connect the stereo output of the processor to the RETURN
jacks of tthe unit (1/4” unbalanced jack).
This signals sent from this are the same as those sent from
the LINE OUTPUT jacks (although the STEREO MIX
signals are not output through the digital output).
External stereo input The unit has a 1/8” stereo mini
jack on the rear panel marked STEREO MIX.
MIDI output Use this (rear panel) to connect a sequenc-
er, drum machine, etc. which can be started, stopped and
synchronized with the unit. See “Working with MIDI” on
page 37 for details.
This can be used to connect an external stereo sub-mixer,
synthesizer, drum machine, CD player, etc.
This stereo signal is routed to the analog LINE OUTPUT
jacks. They can not be recorded on the unit, nor can you
adjust the signal level using the unit.
Balanced XLR inputs
These inputs enable you to connect condenser microphones
(the same type as those used in professional recording
studios).
Phantom power The PHANTOM switch can be turned
on or off to supply +48V phantom power to the XLR
connectors. Phantom power is not supplied to the 1/4”
jacks.
NOTE
These XLR inputs are wired with these pin assign-
ments: 1=ground, 2=hot, 3=cold.
Input level controls Use the input level controls the
same way you would microphones that use 1/4” jacks.
The +48V phantom power supply allows you to power
condenser microphones. Without such phantom power,
many condenser microphones will not work. Some, howev-
er, use internal batteries.
However, some microphones are more powerful than
others, and you may need to turn down the control to
prevent overloading.
WARNING
Never connect or disconnect microphones to or from
the XLR connectors with the phantom power turned
on to avoid a loud pop noise.
Never turn the phantom power on when unbal-
anced dynamic microphones are plugged into the XLR
connectors to avoid any damage to the unit.
Consult any documentation that came with your micro-
phones for full details of power requirements, etc.

Recording
When you have connected a source, and assigned the
inputs to tracks, you are ready to start recording.
The pan controls position the track in the stereo
“image” you hear in the left and right speakers (or
headphones). The center position is marked by a
“click” when you turn the knob.
The EQ HIGH and EQ LOW equalization controls
work in a similar way to the bass and treble tone
controls on a stereo system. The center “click” posi-
tion of the knob means there’s no cut or boost for
that control.
T I P
You can change the EQ control point of the high and
low equalization controls. See ”EQ settings” on page
31 for details.
1. Press the REC key of the track(s) you’re going to
record on, which start to flash slowly (this process is
called “arming the track(s)”.
You can re-record the track if you’re not happy with it by
going back to the original point and repeating the process.
When you’re happy with your recording, you can un-arm
the track(s) (“safe” them) and arm and record on other
tracks. Remember to reassign the inputs as well as arming
the tracks.
2. Press and hold the RECORD (–) key and press the
PLAY (¥) key.
The RECORD (–) key lights red, and the PLAY (¥)
lights green. The track REC keys stop flashing and
light steadily.
Press the REW or F FWD keys for a short while and then
release them to move backwards or forwards through your
recording (like a tape recorder). Press and hold these keys
to increase the rewind or fast forward speed. Press STOP
to stop (again, like a tape recorder).
3. Press STOP when you’ve finished recording.
4. To return to the place where you started recording,
press and hold down the STOP key, and press the F
FWD (LRP = Last Recording Position) key.
To return to the zero point, press and hold down
the STOP key and press the REW (RTZ = Return To
Zero) key.
5. Press PLAY (¥) to start playback of the recorded
tracks.
Use the track fader(s) and the red MASTER fader to
adjust the level of what you hear.
NOTE
The faders and other mixer controls adjust the output
level of the recorded when playing back recorded
tracks.
More advanced features
The unit has many advanced features which you may want
to use later on. Though we will not go into full detail on all
of them now, you should be aware of a few of them now.
Using marks to locate positions
Although “Recording” on page 24 shows you some ways
of moving around in your song, the unit provides you with
ways to jump around the song using location marks, as
well as locating to locate directly to a position you set.
See “Location” on page 29 for details of how to set and use
these location marks.

from play mode into record mode without stopping the
song (“punching in”) as well as going from recording to
playback without stopping the song (“punching out”).
The unit provides three ways to perform punching:
You can automate the punch process by setting in and out
points. This is described in “IN and OUT marks” on page
30 and also in “Punching” on page 32.
When at least one track is armed (the REC key is flashing),
and a song is being played back, press the RECORD (–)
transport key to punch in.
When recording, press the PLAY (¥) key to stop recording
(punch out).
Bouncing
The unit provides eight tracks for recording. But what
happens if you want to record more than eight instru-
ments? You can take existing tracks, mix them, and record
them to unused tracks, freeing up the tracks you just mixed
for recording additional tracks. See “Bouncing” on page 34
for full details.
Track editing
Because the DP-02 is a hard disk and the DP-02CF is a
Compact Flash card recorder, there are many options avail-
able to you which would be extremely difficult, or even
impossible, with a tape-based recording system.
See “About track editing” on page 47 for details of copy,
cut, and paste, etc. operations that you can perform on the
both unit.
Undoing/Redoing an operation
If you have made a mistake, very often you can undo it.
This includes the track editing operations described here,
as well as most other common operations you can perform
(including recording).
ª
Undoing the last action and redoing the undo
action

An asterisk (*) is shown to the right of the current
action.
After performing a multi-undo, and when a new menu
action is performed (copy, cut or etc.), all the redoable
actions are deleted and the new action becomes the most
recent action on the undo history list.
When you undo an action (or event), you undo the
action highlighted, and all actions before it.
When you redo an action (or event), you redo the
action highlighted, and all actions after it.
When the HISTORY key is lit, and when undo is performed
using the UNDO/REDO key, the UNDO/REDO key
also lights up. When two keys are lit, and when redo is
performed, the UNDO/REDO key becomes unlit. The
HISTORY key stays lit.
NOTE
Event numbering starts at -STARTUP-0at the
bottom of the history list (you can’t change this list).
The top line on the list is the most recent event.
NOTE
You cannot use the UNDO/REDO key when the UNDO
HISTORY screen is showing.
CAUTION
Of your operational history (actions), only the 500
most recent operations are stored when you shut
down the unit. Any history operation older than the
500th one is forgotten.
2. Use the DATA dial to scroll up and down through the
list until you come to the action you want to undo
or redo (together with all the actions that have been
performed since then).
Deleting unused data
Because a song is not just the parts you hear, but possibly
unused audio parts (see “About track editing” on page 47),
there may be operation history such as cut out, copy or etc.
that you want to delete so you don’t waste hard disk or a
CF card space.
2. Press YES/ENTER to delete the unused data and the
operation history, or NO/EXIT to cancel the opera-
tion.
When YES/ENTER is pressed, the unit confirms
again if you are sure.

ears—if you think it sounds good, then it is.
Use the PAN controls to adjust the left-right position of
each track in the stereo mix.
To cut out the sound of a track, use the SHIFT key and the
track’s REC key to mute (the orange MUTE indicator lights
for muted tracks) and un-mute the track.
Use the eight track faders to adjust the relative volume
of the tracks and the MASTER fader to adjust the over-
all level, and watch the L and R meters at the right of the
display to make sure that the mix is not too loud (if it’s too
loud, it will distort, and sound bad).
T I P
T I P
If you have two tracks with different versions of the
same part, you can use the mute function to make
easy comparisons between the two.
You don’t have to keep levels the same through the
whole song (try raising the level of a guitar during
solos, for example).
NOTE
The track meters show the level of the signal recorded
on the track, not the level sent from the track.
Use the EQ HIGH and EQ LOW (tone) controls to boost or
cut bass and treble from the individual tracks.
If you have an external effect processor connected through
the SEND and RETURN loop, adjust the EFFECT SEND
levels for each track. This is the amount of signal sent from
each track to the effect. You can use this to add effects
Mastering
This is where the actual stereo recording takes place, once
you’re happy with the mix you’ve created. You create a
mixed master stereo track, starting at 00:00:00:00 (the
“zero point”) and continuing to the OUT point.
1. Press the MASTER key so that it flashes.
2. Press and hold the RECORD ( ) key and press the
–
PLAY (¥) key. Recording starts on the stereo master
tracks (RECORD ( ) and PLAY (¥) are lit).
–
The mixed stereo master is stored on disk as part of the song.
Make the mix moves (faders, pan, etc.) that you
practiced earlier. These mix moves will affect the
sound of the final master stereo track. When the
playback point reaches the OUT point, recording
stops.
NOTE
A song can only hold one stereo master mix.
Before starting the mastering procedure, you must set the
OUT point. This is where the mastering process stops. See
“IN and OUT marks” on page 30 for details.
NOTE
You can hear any signals received at the STEREO MIX
inputs, but they won’t be recorded on the master
track.
NOTE
While the unit is in the mastering mode, you will
notice that a number of playback functions are not
available. If you try to perform these operations, a
popup message tells you that you are in mastering
mode.
3. Press and hold the SHIFT key and press the PLAY
(MASTER) key so that it is lit steadily. Now when
you press PLAY (MASTER), you can hear the master
stereo mix you have just created. This mix is output

through the analog and digital outputs, and you can
record it on a stereo recorder.
If a song has had a master stereo mix recorded and saved
with it, you can play back this master stereo mix whenever
the song is loaded, by pressing and holding the SHIFT key
and pressing the PLAY (MASTER) key until the key is lit
steadily and then pressing PLAY (¥).
NOTE
Note that while the PLAY (MASTER) key is lit steadily,
you cannot use the mixer controls, except for the
MASTER fader.
To add the STEREO MIX inputs (through the analog
outputs only), you can play back the stereo master mix.
Any MIDI synchronization, etc. is output as the stereo
master mix is played back so that the output from a
sequencer, etc. can be added to the analog outputs, and
recorded on a stereo recorder (cassette, CD, MD or
computer audio program).
4. If you are happy with the mix, you can then exit the
mastering mode by pressing and holding the SHIFT
key and pressing the PLAY (MASTER) key until the
key is unlit.
If you want to do the mix again, press the MASTER
key until it flashes, and re-record. The new mix will
overwrite your previous mix.
The stereo master mix can be “cloned” to a pair of stereo
tracks (see “CLONE TRACK” on page 51).
T I P
If you want to save a mix from the unit as a file, you
can transfer it via USB to a computer (see “Exporting
the mastered stereo tracks” on page 47).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2 – Advanced techniques
The operations described here are ones that you may use
less often than the ones described earlier in this manual,
but you will find useful in your work with the unit.
Location
This section tells you how to jump around to different
parts of a song on the unit.
Direct location
The unit displays the current position at the top of the
display as hours:minutes:seconds:frames. There are 30
frames in a second.
To change the value of the underlined field, use the DATA
dial. Fields “wrap round”, so going from 59 seconds to 0
seconds adds 1 to the minutes, etc. As you turn the DATA
dial, the frame field blinks. If you leave the DATA dial
untouched for a few seconds, or if you press YES/ENTER,
the display stops blinking.
NOTE
The unit can also display the current time in bars and
beats. See “Working in bars & beats” on page 35 for
details.
If you want to edit another field, use the cursor keys to
move to that field and then use the DATA dial to get to the
time you’re looking for.
From the “home screen” when the unit is stopped, turn the
DATA dial, so that the top time display blinks.
Press PLAY (¥) to start playback from the position whose
value has just been entered.
Use the ˙ and ¥ cursor keys to move the underline cursor
between the different fields of the time shown at the top of
the screen. In this case, the frame field is selected.
Location marks
The unit can store up to 999 location marks per song! Use
these to mark the start of verses, vocal entry points, etc.
Alternatively, press and hold both LOCATE LIST keys
togather to show the location mark list:
ª
To set a location mark
While stopped, recording or playing, press and hold the
SHIFT key and press the INSERT key at the point where
you want the new mark.
Marks are shown on the display on the second line of the
“home” screen. The mark number you see is the one at or
immediately before the current position In the example
below, “M023” indicates the twenty-third mark in the
selected song.
Use the DATA dial or the cursor (§/¶) keys to choose a
mark (they’re listed in the order they appear in the song)
and press YES/ENTER to jump to that mark.
ª
To delete a location mark
Stop playback (or recording) and locate to the mark you
want to delete (or a little after). Press and hold the SHIFT
key and press the DELETE key.
NOTE
Marks are numbered in the order you enter them, not
according to their position in the song. Mark 999 can
therefore appear in a song before mark 001.
NOTE
You can’t undo this.
ª
To edit a location mark
ª
To move to a location mark
If you made a mistake when you entered a location mark,
you can change the time of the mark.
Press and release the µ or ≤ keys to move to the previ-
ous or next mark in the song. This works while playing
back, while stopped or “winding”, but not while recording.
T I P
This is sometimes called “trimming”.

NOTE
The marks are shown in the order they appear in the
song, not by number.
IN and OUT marks
These marks are used for setting the points at which auto-
mated punch recording starts and ends and for repeat
playback, as well as for track editing. You can set these
marks while playing back, recording, or while playback is
stopped.
Fine-tune the position of the IN and OUT points by press-
ing and holding SHIFT and pressing POINT EDIT:
Set IN and OUT marks by pressing and holding the SHIFT
key and pressing SET IN or SET OUT keys at the appropri-
ate points.
Edit the point, to 1/10 frame accuracy, using the cursor
keys and the DATA dial, in the same way as for direct loca-
tion (“Direct location” on page 29).
NOTE
IN and OUT marks are also used (along with the TO
mark, which is set and used in the same way) when
performing track editing functions.
Press YES/ENTER when done.
Locate to the IN and OUT points by simply pressing IN
and OUT.
Using the meters
Meters to let you know what’s going on with the audio in
the unit. Here are a few little hints and tips which may help
you.
Input meters
These meters (A and B) show the level of the signal coming
into the unit. Adjust the level with the front panel controls,
or the instrument volume control, if available.
As well as showing you the level of signals, the meters
can show you if the signals are actually getting to the unit.
Even if you can’t hear anything and the input meters are
showing a signal, it means that the connections from the
instrument to the unit are okay (and you should probably
check your monitoring equipment levels).
Track meters
These meters (1 through 8) show the volume of the signal
recorded on the track (un-armed tracks) or entering the
track (armed tracks). Remember that the faders do not
control the level of signals sent to the track, and will never
affect the track meter readings.
Master meters
These meters (L and R) show the master level at all times.
The MASTER fader controls the level of these meters.
It’s important to remember that meters should never be
continuously at the top of the bar. If they are, it means the
level is too high, and you will probably experience distor-
tion. Digital distortion is unpleasant (unlike, say, tube
guitar amp distortion), and you need to avoid it.

Punching
As mentioned in “Punch recording” on page 25, the unit
provides two manual ways of changing between playback
and recording modes: using the PLAY (¥) and RECORD (
–) keys, and using the foot switch. There is also an auto-
mated punch mode, described here.
Rehearsal
The auto-punch mode allows you to rehearse your playing
before actually making a recording.
At the IN point, the playback of the armed track(s) stops.
The RECORD indicator starts to flash, indicating this
the point where recording would start were you actually
punching in.
T I P
The RHSL key indicates you are in “rehearsal” mode, as
long as AUTO PUNCH is not lit. Your rehearsal take(s)
is not actually recorded.
T I P
If the IN and OUT points are not where they should be
for your punch recording operation, you can turn off
AUTO PUNCH and edit their position (See “IN and OUT
marks” on page 30).
1. First, set the IN and OUT points (“IN and OUT
marks” on page 30) so that they correspond to the
points where you want recording to start, and where
you want it to finish.
At the OUT point, the signal you hear returns to what you
recorded earlier. The RECORD (–) indicator stops flash-
ing.
2. Assign an input or inputs to a track or tracks
(“Assigning inputs” on page 23), and arm those
track(s) for recording (press the track’s REC key so
that it flashes).
When playback reaches the post-roll point, it stops. When
you do your next rehearsal or punch, playback will start
from the pre-roll point.
T I P
If you’re replacing a mistake, make sure that the sound
you are recording matches the sound you’re replacing
(same effect settings, etc.).
6. Repeat the rehearsal as many times as you need
until you are happy with your performance.
T I P
You can rehearse by looping between the pre-roll and
post-roll points using the REPEAT key.
3. Press the AUTO PUNCH key so that it lights.
4. Press the RHSL (rehearsal) key so that it lights.

Bouncing
T I P
“Bouncing” on the unit refers to the technique of mixing
recorded tracks through the MASTER fader to a pair of
unused tracks.
You can bounce to one track, if you want, but you will
probably want to bounce in stereo.
You might use a track bounce operation in the following
situation:

Acoustic Guitar
E. Guitar 1
E. Guitar 2
You’ve recorded the drums in stereo, the bass and two
rhythm guitars (one acoustic and one electric) and an elec-
tric guitar lead line. There are two tracks left. You’d like
some stereo organ added in, and there are two lead vocal
lines to record, as well as at least one set of backing vocals.
But there are only two tracks left!
4. Use the faders and mixer controls of the tracks you’
re bouncing to create a stereo mix.
5. Adjust the overall level of the mix using the
MASTER fader. Watch the L and R meters on the
right side of the display so that the level is adjusted
to the optimum level. During this step, mute the
tracks at the bounce destination.
Luckily, you can bounce everything through the stereo
tracks, and record them onto the two spare tracks.
6. When you’re ready, use PLAY (¥) and RECORD (–
) to record the mix onto the two armed tracks from
start to end, with no stops. “Safe” the armed tracks.
1. “Un-arm” (safe) the existing tracks so that you don’
t accidentally record over them.
You can now record over the original tracks you bounced,
playing along to the stereo pair created from the bounce.
T I P
You may want to copy the song and give it another
name (see “Copying songs” on page 41) before start-
ing the bounce, so that you can go back to the original
if necessary.
T I P
You can also use auto punch recording (“Punching” on
page 32) to bounce only part of a song between the IN
and OUT points.
2. Press the BOUNCE key (above the MASTER fader)
so that it lights.
3. Arm the two tracks which you are mixing to.
Repeat
Repeat allows you to repeat the playback or auto-punched
rehearsal (see “Rehearsal” on page 32) between the IN and
OUT points.
When the playback reaches the OUT point, playback
pauses for a short while (see “Setting the repeat interval”
on page 35) and the PLAY (¥) indicator flashes before
playback starts again, and the PLAY (¥) indicator lights
steadily.
First, set the IN and OUT points at the place where you
want the repeat loop to start and stop (see “IN and OUT
marks” on page 30).
Turn off the repeat function by pressing REPEAT so that
the indicator goes out.
NOTE
Repeat auto-punch rehearsal, but not repeat auto-punch
recording, is also possible. If AUTO PUNCH, RHSL and
REPEAT are all lit, pressing RHSL to go from rehearsal to
auto punch recording mode will also turn off REPEAT.
You can’t set these points when the REPEAT key is lit.
Press the REPEAT key briefly so that the indicator lights.
Playback starts automatically from the IN point.

Setting the repeat interval
T I P
You can set the time between repeats up to 9.9 seconds.
This repeat interval allows you to reposition your
hands for a guitar lick, take a breath for a vocal phrase,
etc., when you are rehearsing.
Press and hold the SHIFT key, and press the INTERVAL
key. The screen shows:
Press NO/EXIT to exit the interval setting mode.
Use the DATA dial to set the repeat interval from 0.5
seconds to 9.9 seconds in 0.1 second steps.
Working in bars & beats
T I P
Besides working in minutes and seconds (as explained in
detail in “Direct location” on page 29), the unit can work
in musical bars and beats. This is especially useful when
working with external MIDI devices (see “Working with
MIDI” on page 37).
“Bars” are also sometimes referred to as “measures”.
Tempo setting
For the bars/beats function to be useful, you must set up a
tempo and time signature. These allow the unit to calculate
where the bar and beat divisions fall, based on the tempo of
your song.
3. There are two parameters here, the tempo and the
time signature. Use the cursor and DATA dial to set
these.
The tempo is measured in beats per minute (bpm) and can
be set from 20 to 250.
1. With playback stopped, press MENU and select the
MIDImenu.
The time signature can be set with the number of beats to
the bar (1 through 12) and the number of beats per whole
note (1, 2, 4, or 8).
2. Select the TEMPO/T.SIG(tempo and time signature)
action and press the ¥ cursor or YES/ENTER key:
T I P
Most rock and pop music is in 4/4 (with a few famous
exceptions). Some country and folk songs, as well as
waltzes, are in 3/4.
Selecting the time mode
Once the time signature and tempo are set, the unit can
map the bar and beat divisions to the time.
With the cursor at BAR, turn the DATA dial counterclock-
wise to return to the time-based display.
To display bars and beats: On the “home” screen,
move the cursor to the ABSfield:
Location is performed in the same way as described in
“Location” on page 29, except that there are only two fields
now, bars and beats.
Track editing is also performed in the same way as
described in “About track editing” on page 47, but because
the editing points are now set to a bars and beats-based
position, the editing can be more “musical”.
Turn the DATA dial clockwise. ABSchanges to BARand the
current position in bars and beats is shown, with the tempo
shown on the right of the screen:

Working With MIDI
The unit is equipped with a MIDI OUT jack. This can
be used to drive a sequencer, drum machine, etc., either
synchronized to a time base, or a MIDI clock (see below
for an explanation of how this works). MIDI OUT is also
used to drive a MIDI instrument as a metronome (see
“Metronome” on page 36).
A MIDI instrument can be connected to the A and B
inputs, or mixed with the recorded tracks from the analog
outputs if it is fed into the STEREO MIX inputs.
MIDI Clock, etc.
The MIDI song control messages put out by the unit from
the MIDI OUT port include tempo (MIDI Clock), bar and
beat information (Song Position Pointer), and Start/Stop/
Continue messages. This way of working is particularly
suitable for synchronizing with bar/ beat-based MIDI
devices such as drum machines and rhythm units.
3. Use the DATA dial to change the OFFsetting to CLK
(clock).
NOTE
You must set a tempo and time signature on the unit
(“Tempo setting” on page 35) to use this feature.
The unit now sends the messages described here from MIDI
OUT when playing back or recording. Connect the MIDI
OUT of the unit to the MIDI IN of your MIDI instrument.
1. Press MENU and scroll down to MIDIand press
the key.
Consult the documentation of the MIDI instrument for
details of how to synchronize to MIDI Clock, etc. messag-
es as a slave.
2. Select the GENERATORaction and press the ¥

MIDI timecode
MIDI Timecode sends out the current position in hours,
minutes, seconds and frames through the MIDI OUT port.
Typically, you will use the timecode function with devices
such as recorders and Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs)
that work to a time base, rather than a bars and beats base.

Disk/CF card management
The DP-02/DP-02CF allows you format and re-partition
their recording media (see “DP-02 Line-up” on page 7) to
suit your needs. The recording media on your unit can be
divided into partitions. Songs can be created on a partition
and moved to another one later for archive purposes, etc.,
or you can use different partitions for different types of
songs.
In addition to the song partitions, there is also a
FAT-formatted partition. This is the part of the record-
ing media that can be read by a personal computer when
the unit is connected using USB. Whenever you want to
archive or store a song on a computer, export a mix to a
computer, or import an audio file for inclusion in a song,
the data must be copied in two operations, copying first to
the FAT partition and then from there to your computer.
CAUTION
NOTE
Formatting and re-partitioning are “destructive”
actions. You cannot undo them, and the changes are
permanent.
The FAT format (File Allocation Table) is a disk format
which can be read by all personal computers.

Protecting a song
When a song is protected, it cannot be edited, and further
recording is not possible. Of course, it cannot be erased,
either.
2. Use the dial to change protection from OFFto ON
and press YES/ENTER.
In lists of songs for copying, deletion, etc., a “key”
icon ( ) appears beside any protected song.
1. From the SONGmenu, select the PROTECTaction:
If you try to do an action which cannot be
performed on a protected song, a message appears
(Song Protected).
Unprotect a song by following the steps above, but
changing ONto OFF.
Using the USB connection
You can use a personal computer to read and write from
the FAT partition of the hard disk or CF card.
You can make the following transfers:
Whole songs—the unit calls this BACKUP (from the unit
to the BACKUP directory of the FAT partition to the PC)
and RESTORE (from the PC to the BACKUP directory of
the FAT partition of the unit).
NOTE
We use the term “PC” throughout this section to mean
either a Windows or Macintosh personal computer.
Tracks in WAV format—tracks can be exported (one or
more at a time) as WAV files, or imported (one at a time)
from WAV files between the PC and the WAVE directory
of the FAT partition of the unit.
Data transfer between a personal computer and the unit is
always done through this FAT partition. You cannot access
“native” partitions from a computer, so performing data
transfer functions is a two-stage process.
Mastered stereo mixes—export only, as stereo WAV files
to the WAVE directory of the FAT partition of the unit.
Within the FAT partition, there are three directories (fold-
ers): BACKUP, WAVE and UTILITY, as explained below.
NOTE
CAUTION
The UTILITY directory is used for DP- 02/DP-02CF
system updates, etc. Explanations of how this is used
are given with the update software.
Do not rename or delete these directories—if you do,
you will lose the ability to carry out the operations
described here.
System requirements

About track editing
One of the most useful features of a disk or memory-based
recorder such as this unit is the ability to edit material easi-
ly. When working with a stereo tape recorder in the past,
editing was not an easy process, and was very difficult to
undo if there were any mistakes. Multitrack editing was
nearly impossible!
If you have ever used a word-processor on a computer, you
will probably find most of the unit’s editing operations
pretty simple. If you have never used a computer, the unit’
s editing operations are nothing to be scared of–just read
through this section to see how it all works.
NOTE
The unit allows you to edit songs, copying and moving
material from one part of a song to another. This editing
is known as non-destructive editing, meaning that the
operation does not actually destroy data, and you can undo
mistaken or unwanted editing operations easily.
You can undo the editing operations described here
(see “Undoing/Redoing an operation” on page 25).
Even if you delete all the material on every track using
these functions, you can still get it back with only a
few key-presses.

between the IN and OUT points is replaced by silence.
This operation overwrites anything which is already
recorded at the destination. The track is therefore the same
length as it was before the operation.
DESTINATION. TRK This sets the destination track or
tracks to which the selected section is moved. What you
can select here depends on what you have selected for the
source track. If you have selected a single track, you can
select tracks 1 through 8 here. If you have selected a pair
of tracks (for instance, 1/2), you can only select track pairs
here. If you have selected all tracks (1-8), then 1-8 is the
only option available to you here.

MOVE ® INSERT
This function takes the section of a track or tracks marked
by the IN and OUT points, and moves it to the chosen track
or tracks, inserting it as new material, starting at the TO
point.
You can change the following values:
SOURCE.TRK This sets the source track or tracks from
which the section is taken. Choose 1 through 8 to select an
individual track. Choose 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 to select a pair of
tracks. Choose 1-8 to select all tracks.
After the operation, the selected section of the source
between the IN and OUT points is replaced by silence.
DESTINATION. TRK This sets the destination track or
tracks into which the selected section is inserted. What you
can select here depends on what you have selected for the
source track. If you have selected a single track, you can
select tracks 1 through 8 here. If you have selected a pair
of tracks (for instance, 1/2), you can only select track pairs
here. If you have selected all tracks (1-8), then this is the
only option available to you here.
The insert operation adds the selected section as new mate-
rial to the destination. Nothing is overwritten on the desti-
nation, as any material following the TO point is moved to
the end of the newly-inserted section. The track is therefore
longer than it was before the operation.

The source and destination are the same, and after the
operation, the track is split at the IN point, with the mate-

Troubleshooting
When working with any new piece of equipment like the
unit, it’s sometimes difficult to work out why something
isn’t happening the way you expect. The main thing is to
take your time—after all, you’re not paying hourly studio
rates! Stop and think. Ask yourself questions, like the ones
below, and you can usually find the answer.
Why can’t I record?
• You must have at least one track armed (REC indicator
flashing) before you can use the RECORD (–) key.
• Are inputs assigned to tracks (see “Assigning inputs” on
page 23)?
• If you’re in a menu, etc., recording may not be possible.
Return to the “home” screen.
Also, see the section on “Messages” on page 54 for the
meaning of messages that may pop up on the display.
Why can’t my computer “see” the unit files?
Why can’t I hear any sound when I play back?
• Make sure the unit is connected to a USB port and
“open” (see ““Open” and “Close”” on page 43).
• The computer can’t see files which are in the “native”
partitions. Back up or export songs, tracks and mixes to
the FAT partition (“Using the USB connection” on page
42) before “opening” the USB connection, so that the
files can be read on a computer.
• Are the faders of the tracks you’ve recorded at a reason-
able level?
• Is the MASTER fader at a reasonable level?
• Have you connected the LINE OUTPUT jacks to your
monitoring system properly, and is your monitoring
system set up correctly?
• Is a track muted (MUTE indicator lit)? Press SHIFT and
the REC key to un-mute it.
• If you’re monitoring through headphones, is the
PHONES control turned to a suitable level?
Why can’t I hear the selected effect? (DP-02 only)
• You must turn on the effect for the appropriate input
(EFFECT) or turn on the effect (REVERB).
• For reverb, you must turn up at least one track’s
EFFECT SEND, together with the master EFFECT
RETURN.
• The volume of a multi-effect may need adjusting or the
parameter is set so low that the effect is too subtle to be
noticed (“Multi-effect” on page 59).
Why does the sound I’m recording sound distorted?
• Is the input level control on the top panel of the unit set
appropriately for the input source?
• If you’re recording an acoustic instrument, are you sure
you’re not sending it through an electric guitar effect?
(DP-02 only)
• Are you listening at too high a volume? Is it your moni-
toring system that’s distorting?

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
4 – DP-02 Appendix
Tuning a guitar
The built-in tuner allows you to tune a guitar or bass
connected to input A only.
ª
Noise reduction
When you are recording, the background noise of micro-
phones, or the noise from guitar amplifiers, etc., may be
too loud. The unit allows you to “gate” this noise, and only
open the gate when the input signal goes over a certain
level. This only takes effect when the EFFECT is enabled.
Press the MENU key and select the TUNERaction:
1. From the MENU screen, select and enter the
PREFERENCEaction.
2. Use the arrow keys to scroll to N.SUPPRESSOR:
Play a single string. The unit makes its “best guess” at the
note, shows the value, and provides an indication of wheth-
er it’s sharp or flat.
The line of symbols on either side of the center square gets
shorter as the played note approaches the “target” and the
center square fills when the string is in tune:
T I P
Using a noise gate like this sometimes requires a little
work to make sure that you don’t accidentally cut off
quiet parts of a song. Before you make a recording
using the noise gate, it’s a good idea to rehearse the
whole part to make sure you’ve got the right gate
level.
ª
Changing the tuning
3. Set the level at which the gate opens to a value of:
OFF(the gate is always open), or from 1 (the gate
will open easily, with very quiet sounds) to 60 (a lot
of force—a very loud sound—is needed to open the
gate).
Most instruments are tuned to A=440Hz. If you are play-
ing with another instrument that cannot be tuned, you may
want to change this value, that is, tune your guitar to the
other instrument.
Use the DATA dial to change the reference tuning away
from 440Hz if you need to do this.

IMPORTANT SAF4E–TYDPIN-0S2TRAUpCpTeInOdNiSx
Multi-effect
The unit contains an input effector, which contains differ-
ent types of effects, grouped by the type of input (electric
guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals, etc.) that they are suitable
for.
ª
Selecting the effect
Use the cursor (§/¶) keys to highlight the PRESETvalue.
Turn the DATA dial to scroll through all available effects
(including those in other effect types). Effects available are
listed in “Available multi-effect settings” on page 60.
ª
Assigning the effect
Although there are two inputs, the multi-effect can only be
applied to one of them at a time.
ª
Setting the parameter
The multi-effect produces a stereo output, so you can use it
on stereo pairs, and you can then assign the output to two
tracks (see “Assigning inputs” on page 23).
Each multi-effect has one parameter (shown as PARAM).
Use the cursor (§/¶) keys to highlight the PARAMvalue.
Press and hold the SHIFT key and press the EFFECT key
so that either the A or B indicator lights, showing the input
to which you want to apply the multi-effect.
Turn the DATA dial to set the value of the parameter (the
parameter is different for different types of effects).
There is a third setting in which neither indicator is lit,
showing that the multi-effect is not in use on either input.
ª
Setting the effect volume
Use the cursor (§/¶) keys to highlight the VOLUMEvalue.
Set the volume of the effect from 0 to 127 by turning the
DATA dial.
ª
Selecting the effect type
Press the EFFECT key to bring up the multi-effect selec-
tion and editing screen:
Use the cursor (§/¶) keys to highlight the TYPEvalue.
Rotate the DATA dial to scroll through the different effect
types available:
Elec.Guitar Electric guitar
Aco.Guitar
Acoustic guitar
Bass Guitar Bass guitar
Vocal
Drum
Vocals
Drums and percussion
The effect (second line of the display) also changes as you
change the type, and so does the parameter value (on the
third line).

About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they
have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or
re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc,
additional material can be recorded. The pack-aging of
CD-R discs will include one of the following logos:
• CD-R and CD-RW discs are sensitive to the effects of
heat and ultraviolet rays. It is important that they are not
stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on
them, and which is away from sources of heat such as
radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
• Always store CD-R and CD-RW discs in their cases to
avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.
• When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a
soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information.
Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may
cause damage to the recorded side.
• Always keep the recording sides of the discs away from
grime and dust to avoid a reduction in sound quality.
To clean a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from
the center towards the outside edge. Do not use thinner,
gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning fluid, as these will
damage the disc and cause the disc unplayable.
By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same
way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded
can be erased before the disc has been “finalized”, and the
space on the disc can be re- used for other recordings. The
packaging of CD-RW discs will include the logo one of the
following logos:
• Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and
do not use any protective coating spray.
• If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a
CD-R and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied
with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
However, you should note that an audio CD created using
a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every
audio CD player. It will, naturally, be playable on the unit.
This is in no way a limitation of the unit itself, but of the
difference between the different types of media and the
methods used to read them.
There are precautions that you should take when handling
CD-R and CD-RW discs.
• Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a disc on
which you will be recording. Recording on a disc requires
a cleaner surface than playing back, and fingerprints,
grease, etc. can cause errors in the recording process.
About finalizing
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW
disc, a standard CD player will not be able to read the data
(i.e. play back the audio) until a final *TOC has been writ-
ten at the start of the disc.
In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized may be
“unfinalized”, i.e. only the TOC is removed. This allows
further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that
there is space on the disc.
*TOC:Table of contents
Information of recorded data, which contains titles, starting
and ending addresses, and etc..
The process of writing this table of contents is known as
“finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further data can
be written to the disc. See “Finalizing CDs” on page 68 for
details. In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been final-
ized, the whole of the disc may be erased, or the disc may
be “refreshed”, and the disc re-used.

I4M–PDOPR-T0A2NATpSpAeFnEdTixY PRECAUTIONS
Handling of compact discs
The CD-RW901SL has been designed for the playback
of CD-DA (standard audio) format discs and MP3 files
recorded on the discs using the ISO9660 format: In addi-
tion to ordinary 5-inch and 3-inch CDs, it can also play
properly recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid
serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”
• Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of
high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping
could result.
• Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the
disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen.
• Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from
tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are
inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal
mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
• Do not use cracked discs.
• Always insert the compact discs into the unit with their
label facing upward.
• To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center
of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it care-
fully by the edges.
• Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu-
lar promotional, etc. discs.
• Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the
non-label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, so
keep discs clean and store them in their cases when not
being played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe
gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the
outside edge.
• The DP-02 cannot play unfinalized CD-R/RW discs.
• Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection
system, have been released from several record compa-
nies in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some
of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications,
they may not be playable on the DP-02.
• Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,
benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean
CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface.
It may cause CDs to become unplayable.
Never use a stabilizer or printable discs
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable
recordable discs with this player will damage the mecha-
nism and cause it to malfunction.
NOTE
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to
the turntable of the DP-02. If it sticks to the turntable,
you will need a technician to get it out.

Making an audio CD
On the DP-02, a song’s master stereo track can be written
to a CD-R or CD-RW (see “Mastering” on page 27), and
this master recording can be burned to CD for audio CD
playback.
In the TAO recording, master stereo tracks recorded on the
DP-02 are written to the CD on a track-by-track basis.
If you want to write tracks to a CD over several sessions,
choose the TAO recording.
There are two ways of making a CD:
Since TAO does not finalize the CD, this CD cannot be
played back on a regular CD player (it can be played on the
DP-02).
Disk At Once (simply called “DAO” from here on)
Track At Once (simply called “TAO” from here on)
In the DAO recording, master stereo tracks recorded on the
DP-02 are written all at once.
After all of the desired master stereo tracks have been
written by TAO, finalize the disc (“Finalizing CDs” on
page 68).
DAO finalized the disc when it’s finished (see “Finalizing
CDs” on page 68), making the CD compatible with other
CD players immediately after writing by DAO has ended.
Additional tracks cannot be written to the CD after final-
ization has ended.
With DAO, additional tracks cannot be written to the CD
because it creates a finalized disc.
Writing by Disk At Once (DAO)
With DAO, the track order can be set when writing two or
more tracks.
In this screen, you can set the order in which the
master stereo tracks are to be written to the CD.
A silent gap of any desired length can also be added
between tracks.
1. Insert a blank CD-R or an erased CD-RW into the
slot.

How do I..?
This section gives you a brief guide to some operations on
the DP-02/DP-02CF which may not be immediately obvi-
ous from looking at the panel controls.
You may find the same action listed more than once in
this alphabetical list. That’s because different people use
different words for the same things, so you may find both
“Delete” and “Erase”, for example.
Key names are written like this: LOCATE. SHIFT +
CLEAR means “press and hold the SHIFT key and press
CLEAR.
