DA-88 ERROR NUMBERS AND THEIR DESCRIPTION  
ERROR  
DESCRIPTION  
S-Err-01  
S-Err-02  
Mechanical Problem (tape path, guide, drum motor, etc.)  
Irregular head drum speed. The drum motor spin command is given, but no tachometer pulses from the frequency generator (FG) coil are  
received for 1.5 seconds. This can happen if the tape has come in contact with lubricant from the mechanism. The Bernoulli effect explains how  
a spinning drum creates a cushion of air between the tape and the heads. The lubricant, however, will stop the head dead in its tracks.  
Combination of Errors 1 & 2  
Capstan Motor Problem. The motor spin command is given, but no FG signal is detected within 1.5 seconds.  
Combination of Errors 1 & 4  
Combination of Errors 2 & 4  
Combination of Errors 1,2 &4  
Reel Problem (take-up or supply). No FG received from either reel table for 1.5 seconds.  
Combination of Errors 1 & 8  
Combination of Errors 2 & 8  
Combination of Errors 1,2 & 8 (a mechanical mode change is not completed within 5 seconds).  
Combination of Errors 4 & 8  
Combination of Errors 1,4 & 8

S-Err-13  
S-Err-14  
S-Err-15  
S-Err-21  
S-Err-31  
The reel tables do not wind the tape in preparation for Eject.  
The tape is loose or caught. Tape width varies within a specified tolerance. If the tape path has been adjusted for a narrow or easily flexed tape,  
a wider or stiffer tape may get caught in the guides. The System control monitors both reel table tachometers, as well as the Head and Capstan  
tachs. Any conflicting information will halt the transport.  
S-Err-41  
S-Err-59  
S-Err-68  
E.CLOC  
K
The solenoid does not engage during FF/RW (100x speed).  
In Eject mode, the reels do not start to drive, or do not lock for more than 1.5 seconds  
In Play mode, the reels do not start to drive, or do not lock for more than 1.5 seconds.  
No clock data, or incorrect setting of the clock switch or machine time base reference. This could also indicate a mismatch in the machine ID  
numbers and/or missing sync signal such as video or word clock.  
E.t cut  
Ed io  
The tape is broken.  
Digital I/O error. No digital device is detected at the T-DIF port. Check to see if cables are connected and power is on. You must use TASCAM  
cables or other individually shielded twisted pair cable.  
E.dE  
Dew sensor has detected condensation on the head drum. This occurs when a machine is brought from a cold to a warm area. Leave the  
machine powered so the heat from the electronics will evaporate the moisture.  
The tape is not a HI-8 formulation. You must use either a metal particle (MP) or metal evaporated (ME) HI-8 Tape.  
The tape inserted is too thin. Use a 90 or 120 minute tape.  
E.HI-8.t  
E.thin.t  
Clearing Errors Generally Errors can be cleared by re-booting the machine. However some errors require the machine be serviced immediately. This is  
usually the case with S-Err-11, as the tape could be locked in the transport.

DA-88 Cleaning Procedure  
The DA-88 incorporates an internal cleaning mechanism that not only cleans the rotary head but also the tape as it enters the tape path.  
The inclusion of this cleaning mechanism significantly reduces the need for manual cleaning, and all but eliminates the need to use the dry cleaning  
tape. Use of the dry cleaning tape will reduce the head life of the DA-88 by approximately 5 hours for every cleaning cycle, use is therefor reserved  
for situations when playback errors occur and a manual cleaning is not possible. If you elect to use the dry cleaning tape, RUN ONE PASS ONLY -  
NOT MULTIPLE CYCLES. If this does not resolve the situation, a manual cleaning or alignment is required.  
The following is a suggested maintenance schedule.  
Note that the cleaning interval may be longer or shorter depending on your individual environmental conditions.  
350 to 400 hours:  
Perform manual cleaning of heads and guides.  
Check tape path alignment after cleaning.  
(requires proper test and measurement equipment, and should be performed by qualified service personnel)  
During third cleaning, (1000 hours) a complete alignment check is suggested.  
Remember, the duration between cleanings may vary depending on your environment. A dusty or smokey environment will shorten the cleaning  
cycle.  
Although most name brand tapes are of very high quality, it is possible to receive some “bad” stock. Most notably stock which exhibits excessive  
shedding. If you receive tape stock that sheds, immediately stop using it, and clean you transport.

DA-88 Digital Dubbing  
Requirements:  
1 PW-88S Sync Cable  
1 PW-88D Digital Dubbing Cable  
1 RCA to RCA audio cable. (If dubbing Time code)  
2 DA-88s (Both must have SY-88 Sync cards if dubbing Time code) ꢀ  
1 Pre-Formatted tape.  
Procedure:  
1) With power off, connect Source DA-88 SYNC OUT to Target DA-88 SYNC IN using the PW-88 Sync cable.  
2) With Power off, connect Source DA-88 DIGITAL I/O port to Target DIGITAL I/O port using the PW-88D Digital  
Dubbing cable.  
If dubbing Time code, connect TC Out from source DA-88 to TC In on the target DA-88 using the RCA to RCA  
audio cable.  
3) Power On both DA-88s  
4) On the Source DA-88, enter a 43 Fs Track Delay value for all 8 tracks.  
a) Press DISPLAY until ABS is selected.  
b) Hold the and press DIGITAL IN. The display will toggle between Analog and Digital. Select DIGITAL.  
c) If dubbing Time code, on Source DA-88 set menu Item 6 to Digital (old S1 #5 Up).  
5) Load Master tape into Source DA-88 and the pre-formatted tape into the target DA-88.  
NOTE: Make certain that the master tape is WRITE PROTECTED.  
6) Make certain that the REC FUNCTION switches on the Source DA-88 are NOT ENGAGED.  
7) Engage REC FUNCTION switches on the Target DA-88 to arm all tracks.  
If dubbing Time code, engage the TC REC FUNCTION switch, but DO NOT start the generator.  
8) Rewind both tapes to BOT  
9) On the Target DA-88, engage DIGITAL IN, and CHASE.  
10) On the Source DA-88, hold RECORD and press play.
