INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FIGURE 1.1

IMPORTANT WARNING!!! Special care should be taken when re-installing the bottom cover
screws. As the diagram above shows, the screws MUST be reinstalled in the same position as they were removed. Note the location of the special 5mm screw! If an 8mm screw is installed where the 5mm screw was removed, the extra penetration by the 8mm screw may short circuit the electronics. STEP 2: Removing and positioning the bottom panel: Remove the rack-mounting flanges if installed. After removing all the screws identified in the above illustration, remove the bottom cover of your TMD1000. It may be necessary to use a soft prying device like a wooden stick to loosen the bottom panel from the top panel.
Precaution: To avoid damage to the wires linking Main and Power Supply PCB Assy, place the bottom panel beside the main unit as indicated below.

FIGURE 1.2

If your TM-D1000 has software revision 1.18 or greater, skip to step 6! If you need to upgrade continue on to step 3.
UPGRADING THE TM-D1000 INTERNAL PLD TO THE LATEST SOFTWARE REVISION LEVEL: STEP 3: Removing U17, Main PLD: Locate U17 on the Main PCB as shown in the diagram (Figure 1.2). The PLD is held in place with a rectangular black plastic locking device. Slide the locking device down or toward you. Remove it by lifting straight up from the main PCB. Remove the PLD and place it

10/08/99 Page 3 of 6

into the plastic case supplied with the new PLD. Place it into the postage paid self-addressed envelope provided and return to TASCAM. Thank you! STEP 4: Installing the new PLD: CAUTION: The PLD is sensitive to static discharges and may be damaged if improperly handled. It is highly recommended that the installer be well grounded before handling the device:

Detach Attach

Note the orientation of the small dot on the PLD. It must be installed with this dot in the lower right corner as shown in the diagram to the right. On the main PCB, the white silk-screened outline of U17 also shows a small white dot in the lower right corner. These two dots must line up. After aligning the locator dots, lay the PLD into position. Secure the PLD by placing the rectangular black plastic locking device over the PLD. After it is set in place, sliding the locking device upwards will lock it into position. (See the diagram above and to the right.) STEP 5: The software has now been upgraded in your TASCAM TM-D1000.

INSTALLING THE FX-D1000:

IMPORTANT Remove the protective spacer that is installed in connector CN1 before proceeding.
STEP 6: Locate the three plastic standoffs in the package with the FX-D1000 effects module. Using the diagram (Figure 1.3), locate the position for these standoffs on the Main PCB and install one standoff in each of the three holes.

10/08/99 Page 4 of 6

Orient the FX-D1000 with the components facing the main PCB.

Locations for the plastic standoffs FIGURE 1.3
STEP 7: Remove the FX-D1000 from its anti-static wrapping. Holding the FX-D1000 by its edges, orient it as shown in Figure 1.3. The component side of the board should be on the bottom. STEP 8: The connector on the FX-D1000 should be inserted into connector CN5 on the main PCB. Fit the three retaining studs you installed into the Main PCB into the corresponding holes on the FXD1000. After insuring the pins on the connector and the retaining studs are aligned properly, press the FX-D1000 firmly into place. STEP 9: Reassembling the unit: Reversing the procedure used in STEP 2 above, Reposition the rear cover over the top cover on your TM-D1000. Align and press the two halves of the cover together until they securely mate. STEP 10: Re-install all the screws. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE SCREWS ARE INSTALLED IN THE SAME LOCATION FROM WHERE THEY WERE REMOVED! Failure to do so may cause electrical damage to the TM-D1000! If the TM-D1000 was rack-mounted, replace the rack-mounting flanges, and screw them into position, otherwise simply replace the 10 screws, which fastened the side panels. If an armrest was installed, replace it with the three screws removed earlier.

4 - Buss functions

As we mentioned briey earlier, the busses of the TM-D1000 can be switched internally into different congurations, depending on the current needs of the project. These congurations may be stored in two convenient main user modes; the recording and mixdown modes (REC and MIX). These are shown by the MODE indicators to the left of the display screen. When a change is made between the REC and MIX modes, the settings of the mode from which the change is being made (EQ settings, pan settings, fader and aux send settings, etc., as well as the Option settings for MODE, Effect and Setup) are stored in memory. When the TM-D1000 is next switched into this mode, these settings are then recalled automatically. This allows a fast change between two different settings of the mixer for different purposes (e.g. if you are in the middle of a mix session but decide to rerecord a track, changing from MIX to REC will restore the last settings when the mixer was in MIX mode. tings, etc.) will be restored to the factory settings.
Data Initialize[All] Press EXI T.

Complete

This action cannot be undone. If you have second thoughts about re-initializing all the data, press the ESCAPE key instead of pressing the ENTER key for the second time.

4.1 Default REC mode

Used in recording, the default setting of the REC mode uses the stereo with four group buss conguration (see below). The internal effect processors are set as mono dynamics processors for channel processing. Channels may be assigned to any combination of: the stereo buss, groups 1-2, and groups 3-4. The L-R stereo buss is used as a monitor buss here the left and right channels of the stereo buss cannot be routed to tape tracks. If an input channel is not assigned to the L-R stereo buss, it will not appear in the monitor mix when you have the L-R MONITOR SELECT key pressed.
Operating Tip In these descriptions, we talk about the default settings. These are the settings made when the TM-D1000 leaves the factory. If you want to return the TM-D1000 to these default settings at any time, you should follow the procedure described below.

Operating Tip When you are overdubbing with some previously recorded tracks, these tracks are routed through input channels 9 through 16. If you do not assign these tracks to the L-R stereo buss, you will not be able to monitor them.
While turning on the power to the TMD1000, press and hold down the PARAM SEL and ENTER keys.

The display will show:

NOTE The PARAM SEL AUX selection does not light in this default mode (there are no aux send busses selected).

4.2 Default MIX mode
The default MIX mode, as its name suggests, is used in mixdown. In the default setting of the MIX mode, all input channels (1 through 16) are assigned to the stereo buss. Channels may not be assigned to any group busses. The default buss conguration (see below) is for the stereo send and two mono sends. The internal effec-

4.3 Choosing REC or MIX mode
To choose between the REC or MIX mode:
Press ENTER to conrm the setting.

4.4 Buss congurations

You can set the functions of the four busses controlled by the GROUP/AUX faders (immediately to the left of the stereo master fader). The way in which these are congured also affects the number as well as the assignment and function of the internal effect processors. Depending on the conguration selected, these faders are used to control the output groups or the aux sends and the channel panpots also have different effects, depending on the selected conguration. The following congurations are available:
Press and hold down the SHIFT key and press the OPTION key. Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows MODE.

Option MODE

Press the ENTER key, and if the bottom line of the display does not show MODE Select?, turn the DATA ENTRY knob until it does.

MODE Sel e c t ?

ST+4Grp

ST+4 Aux [1-2 ST]

ST+2 Grp+2Aux

ST+4 Aux [Mono]

The four group/aux busses are paired into two two-channel group buss sets: 1-2 and 34. The channel panpots control the balance between the odd-numbered and even-numbered channels of the aux busses. The GROUP/AUX faders control the group master levels. This is the default REC mode. The four group/aux busses are divided into one stereo aux send (1-2) and two mono aux sends (3, 4). The channel panpots control the balance between aux 1 and aux 2 when channels are routed to the stereo aux bus, and have no effect on the mono aux 3 and 4 busses. The GROUP/AUX faders control the aux master levels. This is the default MIX mode. Group/aux busses 1 and 2 are assigned as two mono aux sends, and 3 and 4 are assigned as a dual-channel group buss. The channel panpots have no effect on the aux sends here, but control the balance between groups 3 and 4 when channels are assigned to these groups. GROUP/AUX faders 1 and 2 control the aux master levels (1 and 2) and faders 3 and 4 control group master levels 3 and 4. The four group/aux busses are assigned as four individual mono aux sends. The channel panpots have no effect on the aux send levels. The GROUP/AUX faders control the aux master levels.

The default setting for the AUX return is Digital Input A. If this is already shown on the bottom line of the display, there is no need to press ENTER.
5.5 Using digital effect returns
An increasing number of digital effect units allow you to send signals to them, and to input their returns in digital format. To select the EFFECT or AUX return as a digital input:
Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows Digital In A2.
Press and hold down the SHIFT key and press the OPTION key. Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows Setup, and press ENTER.
1. If the optional IF-TD1000 Digital I/O Board has been installed, you will also have the options of selecting the input from the second TDIF-1 port and from the second (B) digital input. If channels 7 and 8 are selected, the third (C) digital input will also be available.

Adjust the equalization gain and frequency in the three bands using the data editing knobs.
Use the DATA ENTRY knob to view and set the second set of parameters (notice that the MID gain and frequency are always visible and controlled by the center two data editing knobs). Each frequency band has the same frequency range (from 41 Hz to 16.0 kHz) and the same cut and boost (15 dB in 0.5dB steps).
Operating Tip Remember that there is no dedicated monitor or cue buss on the TM-D1000. If you want to monitor an input channel or a tape track in recording mode, you should assign it to the LR buss, as explained earlier.
TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 18
7.3 Using the DIRECT OUTs
The input channels can be sent to the TDIF-1 outputs on a one-to-one basis instead of being routed through the group busses. Use the DIRECT OUT key instead of the CH ASSIGN keys.
Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows Effect. Press ENTER, and turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line shows Ch Dynamics Insert. Press ENTER:

Dynamics Insert

NOTE The direct out facility is obviously useful only in the REC mode; in the MIX mode, there is little point in sending input channels to the TDIF-1 outputs. Although you can assign an input channel to the group busses and to the direct outputs at the same time, this is not useful in many cases. We therefore suggest that you use either the direct out or the group busses, but not both.
The DIRECT OUT pick-off point can be set to be either pre-or post-fader.
Each number on the display represents one of the dynamic processors assigned to a channel. The channel number corresponds to the numbers printed under the display. In the above example, dynamic processors 1 through 4 are assigned to channels 1 through 4.
Turn the DATA ENTRY knob to move the cursor, and push it to toggle the dynamic processor assignment on or off for the channel whose number is under the cursor. Turn the DATA ENTRY knob to select an available dynamic processor.
This does not toggle the processor on or offjust the assignment of the processor to the channel.

7.4 Assigning channel dynamics
The default effect pattern when recording is to assign four mono dynamic processors to input channels. To use these processors:
In Eff Thshd Att-T Rls-T Ratio
Press and hold down the SHIFT key, and press the OPTION key.
7.5 External insert points
The TM-D1000 is capable of using external inserts on channels 1 through 4, as well as using its internal dynamic processors. Use standard Y cables such as TASCAM PW-4Y or PW-2Y cables to connect an external processor. The tip of the -inch TRS jack plug is the send of the TM-D1000 to the external processor, and the ring is the return. The sleeve is used as a common ground. Channels may be linked if either of them is assigned to use an in-line dynamic effects processor (see Assigning channel dynamics on page 19). In this instance, they will share a linked two-channel dynamic effect processor (changes made to one channels processor will affect the other channelss processor).
Press and hold down the CH SEL key of one of the channels to be linked. Press the CH SEL key of the other channel.
To un-link the channels, repeat the process. When you link channels, the following parameters will be applied to both channels simultaneously: Fader levels (moving one fader will have the effect of moving both faders simultaneously, even though the second fader does not physically move). Channel assignment (see Routing channels to busses on page 18). Equalization parameters and the EQ switch (see Channel operations on page 18) Channel muting Aux send levels (see Setting aux send levels on page 24)

8.2 Soloing

The TM-D1000 provides you with three solo modes: a pre-fade listen mode (PFL), an after (post)-fade listen (AFL) and an in-place solo mode (IPS). The last two modes are mono modes (i.e. the pan or balance controls will have no effect on the nal solo mix). The solo mode is activated by pressing the SOLO key (above group 3 and 4 faders). Depending on the solo mode, this key will either light (IPS) or ash (AFL or PFL) red. The current solo mode is also shown in the display for about a second after the solo mode is enabled. The channel MUTE keys change function and become solo keys when the solo mode is activated. In addition to the primary solo mode, there is also a secondary solo mode, which is activated when the SHIFT key is pressed and held down and the SOLO key is pressed. The assignment of primary and secondary solo modes is explained below.
NOTE Signals corrseponding to the analog nominal level will be shown on the meters as 16 dB.
You can select more than one monitor source at a time (more than one of these switches can be pressed simultaneously).
NOTE When the EXT IN switch is pressed, even if digital signal SELECT switches are also pressed, the meters will be in analog mode, i.e. any peak hold or release time settings (see 14.2, "Meter settings") will not be effective.
NOTE One big difference between the AFL and the IPS modes is that when IPS is activated, unsoloed channels will be cut from the L-R
21 TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual
mix as well as the monitor mix. If you are working in a sound reinforcement or mixdown application, you should take care not to use the in-place solo mode, as this will destroy the nal mix.

To select the solo mode:

Press ENTER and turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows SOLO Mode. Press ENTER, and turn the DATA ENTRY knob to choose between the following primary solo modes (the secondary solo mode is shown in parentheses):
Press and hold down the SHIFT key and press the OPTION key. Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows Setup.

10.3Renaming snapshots

Press and hold down the SHIFT key, and press the ENTER key:

Press the ESCAPE/RECALL key until the current snapshot name and number is shown on the top of the display, and the word RECALL? is shown on the bottom. Push the DATA ENTRY knob so that the bottom line reads RENAME:
The numbers printed around the display (white on black) show which controls and channels correspond to the on-screen symbols. The top line of the display shows the positions of the panpots of the sixteen input channels, as well as the positions of the level controls of the EFFECT RETURN and AUX RETURN controls. The bottom line of the display shows the position of the sixteen input channel faders, as well as the four GROUP/AUX faders and the L-R stereo faders.

REN A M E ?

Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the snapshot that you want to rename is shown on the top line of the display. Conrm this with the ENTER key. Rename the snapshot, following the procedures described above, and press ENTER when you are nished.
10.4Nulling the faders and panpots
The symbols indicate the direction in which the fader should be moved ( up or down) or the rotary control should be turned ( clockwise or counterclockwise). When the physical control matches the electronic virtual control, the symbol will change to a symbol. If you want to see numerical values for the channel whose controls you are adjusting, press the CH SEL key for that channel:

3 Pan Fader L[L50] [ 31]

The term nulling the faders and panpots refers to the way in which the faders and panpots are adjusted so that their physical positions correspond to the positions which have been saved in a snapshot memory or adjusted through external MIDI control. When a snapshot memory is recalled, it is almost certain that the physical control settings will differ, and to make adjustments using the snapshot as a starting point, it may be necessary to adjust the faders and panpots accordingly.
The physical control values are given in square brackets. The pan controls can be set from L50 to R50. The center position is indicated by CTR. Fader values may be set from 0to 100.
Operating Tip When the physical controls are used to change the settings from those memorized in the recalled snapshot, an asterisk appears by the number of the snapshot on the display:

While the unit is playing or recording, press the MEMO key. The timecode received from the device will be shown on the bottom line of the display. If the timecode is being received, the display will act as a timecode monitor, showing the incoming timecode.

11.3Locations

Up to 16 location memories can be stored in the TMD1000. The values for these location memories are obtained from the MIDI Timecode (MTC) received at the MIDI IN connector. These locations may then be used for location of a device controlled by the TM-D1000 using MMC (as described in the previous section).
Remember that some units are capable of transmitting MTC while fast winding, or even in stop or pause mode.
Press the CH SEL key of the channel (location memory) in which you want to store the timecode value:

Unless otherwise stated, the 127 values available to a MIDI controller are interpreted and converted into the 100 parameter value steps used by the TMD1000.
12.4System Exclusive parameters and data dumps
The TM-D1000 also provides you with data dump and loading facilities, so that snapshots, effect settings, etc. may be stored in a MIDI data le and uploaded to the mixer in a future session. Please consult the Reference Manual for details of how to perform these operations, and the options available to you.

13 - Options

A number of options are available for the TMD1000, as described here.
13.2IF-TD1000 Digital Input Kit
This kit provides two more sets of digital inputs (XLR and RCA), capable of receiving AES/EBU or SPDIF format, as well as another TDIF-1 connector, for another eight channels of DTRS-compatible audio.
13.1RM-D1000 rack mounting kit
The RM-D1000 rack mounting kit allows the TMD1000 to be mounted in 6U of rack space (in addition to space needed at the top for the connectors). You should also ensure that the rack is well-ventilated, allowing air to circulate for cooling the heat sink of the TM-D1000.
WARNING This kit requires internal connections to the TM-D1000. For this reason, you should not install the kit yourself, but should refer installation to a qualied TASCAM distributor.
The digital inputs are labeled B and C. Digital input B is available as an extra option in the following menus where input A is available:
Setup Digital Input Setup Aux Rtn Assign Input/
Setup Eff Return Input/Assign
Digital input C is treated differently, on account of the frequency conversion facility built into digital input C. An additional menu is available when the IFTD1000 Digital I/O Board is tted, which allows input channels 7 and 8 to be assigned to digital input C or to the analog inputs, for all menus using these inputs. This sub-menu is available from the Setup options, and appears as follows:
Ch7-8 Route1 Target In C?
The wristpad below the faders should be unscrewed before mounting the TM-D1000 in a rack. Attach the two rack mounts to the TMD1000 using the ve screws (provided) on each mount. Fit the TM-D1000 into the rack, allowing enough space at the top for cables to be tted to the connectors.
Use the data entry knob to choose between Digital In C and Analog. As well as the additional stereo digital inputs, the IFTD1000 Digital I/O Board also provides another TDIF-1 connector (TDIF-1 B). This set of 8 channels is available for use by the input channels, as set in the following menus:
Setup Ch1-8 Setup Ch9-16 Input Input
System TDIF-1 A/B Word Length
The routing of group busses to the second TDIF-1 channel follows the pattern of the routing to the rst channel (i.e. if groups 1 & 2 are routed to TDIF-1 A
TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 34
channels 1 + 2 and 5 + 6, they will also be routed to the TDIF-1 B channels with the same numbers. If input channels are routed using the DIRECT OUT function, and the IF-TD1000 Digital I/O board is tted, the input channels will be output to the TDIF-1 B connector. It may also be selected to be output in parallel to both TDIF-1 connectors (A and B) by selecting input channels 18 as the source for TDIF1 A. Effect patterns are still subject to the same restrictions as regards groups and aux busses (i.e. if there are no aux busses, no aux sends are possible). However, the FX-D1000 Effect Board provides you with much more power and exibility in the way that you use the internal effect system of the TM-D1000.

13.3FX-D1000 Effect Board
The FX-D1000 Effect Board provides an additional set of effect processors, doubling the capacity of the TM-D1000s internal processor capability.
WARNING This board requires internal connections to the TM-D1000. For this reason, you should not install the board yourself, but should refer installation to a qualied TASCAM distributor.
14 - Miscellaneous functions
These functions help you with various settings of the TM-D1000.
Push the DATA ENTRY knob to enter the Peak Hold Time screen:

Adjust Hold Time:0. 0 s

14.1Footswitch (REMOTE CONT)
The footswitch connected to the rear of the TMD1000 can be used to step through the snapshot memories, either forwards or backwards. It can also be used to perform punch-in and punch-out operations on the unit controlled via MMC.
Turn the DATA ENTRY knob to adjust the peak hold time between 0.0 seconds and 1.0 seconds in 100 ms steps.
Press and hold down the SHIFT key, and press the OPTION key. Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows System, and press ENTER. Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows REMOTE CONT Function, and press ENTER:

NOTE These meter settings are only effective when digital signals only are being monitored (i.e. the EXT IN switch is not pressedsee 8.1.1, "EXT IN").

14.3LCD contrast

As well as the method of adjusting the LCD contrast described on page 6, you can also use the menu system:
Option System LCD Contrast

Turn the DATA ENTRY knob to adjust the screen contrast until it is at a comfortable viewing angle.
NOTE Always use a TASCAM RC-30P footswitch or equivalent. If you are in any doubt as to the kind of footswitch you should use, contact your TASCAM dealer.

14.4Battery levels

The lithium batteries in the TM-D1000 provide backup for your settings and should last for a number of years before they need to be replaced. However, as with all batteries, there is a possibility that they may start to leak after about three years, even if the voltage is within permissible limits. We therefore suggest changing the battery every three years or thereabouts.

14.2Meter settings

The fall time of the meter, as well as the peak hold time, can be set from the System menu.
Option System Meter Adjust
Meter Adjust Release Time:m s
NOTE If the battery drops below the critical level, the display will show:

Warning! Battery Empty

Use the DATA ENTRY knob to choose between 30 ms, 60 ms and 90 ms.
TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 36
Have the battery replaced by your TASCAM distributor. Do not attempt to replace the battery by yourself.
You can also check the current battery level using the following procedure:
Option Monitor System Battery Check
If the displayed value falls below 2.7 volts, it is time to consider replacing the battery. We also, as noted above, suggest that you have the battery replaced every three years or so, in order to avoid possible damage caused to the TM-D1000 by battery leakage.
