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.

left in the main source becomes insufficient 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.)

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).
•
•
Mics
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.
•
When using a condenser mic that requires phantom power,
set the +48V switch on the bottom panel to ON.
Recording from external equipment (LINE 1)
Set the INPUT switch on the top panel to XLR, and set the
MIC/LINE 1 switch on the front panel to LINE 1.

of an external audio device to the XLR (MIC/LINE 1) IN
connector on the front panel.
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
Other audio equipment or
external sound source
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.
•
•
Recording from external equipment (LINE 2)
Set the INPUT switch on the top panel to LINE 2.
Using a stereo miniplug cable, you can connect the output
of an external audio device, including the headphone
output of a portable CD player, for example, to the LINE 2

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.

Using QUICK FORMAT
Use the QUICK FORMATitem to quick format the SD card.
Using QUICKFORMATerases all music files on the card and
automatically creates new MUSIC and UTILITY folders as
well as the “dr-1.sys”file that is necessary to use the SD card
with the DR-100MKII.
Setting the main battery source
(MAIN)
When both the lithium ion battery and AA batteries are
installed, you can set one as a main power source and the
other as a backup. Usually the unit uses the main power
source.
When the remaining power of the main battery source
becomes low, the unit automatically switches to the
backup, allowing continued operation.

Full formatting checks the memory for errors while
formatting, so it takes more time than quick formatting.
CAUTION
The power turns off if the backup battery source does
not have enough charge. In this case, all recordings,
settings and other data will be lost.
The power supply will not automatically switch from
the backup battery to the main battery. When operating
on the backup battery, reset the main battery selection

When formatting a card, the unit should be operating on
AC power supplied through the PS-P520 adapter (sold
separately) or batteries with sufficient remaining power. If
the power fails during formatting, the formatting does not
occur correctly.

Before changing the main battery, confirm that its charge
has become low enough that power has switched to the
backup battery.
The unit turns OFF if you remove the main battery while it
is being used.
If you must change the main battery even though it is in
use, change the setting so that the backup battery becomes
the main battery and confirm this operation on the Home
Screen first.
