6.5 Error messages
There are two types of error message: warning
(informational) and more serious messages.
6.5.1Warning messages
These simply give an indication of a situation which
is easily resolved:
AES/EBU X—The digital audio signal received
at the AES/EBU input has been selected as an input
source, but has become unsynchronized or is not
present.
COAXIAL X—The digital audio signal received
at the COAXIAL unbalanced input has been selected
as an input source, but has become unsynchronized
or is not present.
AES/EBU ?—The digital audio signal received
at the AES/EBU balanced input is more than 0.1%
outside the standard sampling frequency and cannot
be recorded (though it can be monitored).
COAXIAL ?—The digital audio signal received
at the COAXIAL unbalanced input is more than
0.1% outside the standard sampling frequency and
cannot be recorded (though it can be monitored).
Tape Top & Tape End—The tape is at
the start or end, and an attempt has been made to
move past this point
End-ID—The presence of the END ID prevents
the attempted operation
TapeMode HR—The inserted tape has been
recorded in 24-bit mode on a TASCAM DA-45HR
machine, or the inserted tape is not intended for the
DA-40. If this message appears, the inserted tape
cannot be played back on the DA-40.
RecProtect—The cassette’s sliding write-
protect tab is in the write-protect position.
6.5.2Serious error messages
Any of the following error messages indicates a seri-
ous error, which you should never see in normal
operation. If any of these appears, first try any coun-
termeasures listed here. If the message does not dis-
appear after trying the countermeasure, you should
contact your TASCAM distributor for testing and
repair of your tape deck.

Mecha. Com. Er.
Loading Err—Eject the tape, power down
the tape deck, power it up again, and reinsert the tape
as described in 1.4, "About DAT cassettes". If this
fails, contact your TASCAM dealer.

occurred on the head drum. Remove the cassette, and
leave the tape deck switched on for one or two hours.

deck"
Capstan Error
SVMemo.RDE
SVMemo.WRE
Tape Cut!—The tape has broken. You may
be able to remove the damaged cassette, but this is
usually best left to a qualified service technician, as
the tape may be wound in a complex path around del-
icate mechanical parts of the tape deck.
Memo.Data Er—The memorized menu set-
tings (3.13, "Parameter save") are no longer stored in
memory. Try re-making these settings. If the problem
persists, contact your TASCAM dealer.
