This unit can import and play audio files that meet the following
requirements.
In addition, files created by other TASCAM HS series units can be
played back as is if they meet the following conditions:
File format: BWF/WAV

If you play a file with a different sampling frequency, the
sampling frequency of the unit will be changed automati-
cally. This will take about 1 to 3 seconds, so we recommend
preparing files with the same sampling frequency whenever
possible.
Preparation before importing
Use this unit to format media that will be used for the first
time with it. Media formatted by this unit will be optimized to
improve performance with it.
If media that has been formatted by a computer or another
device is used with this unit, its operation might be affected.
1. Insert the media into the corresponding card slot of the unit.
2. To format media, follow the procedures in “Formatting SD/
CF cards” on page 27.
3. After confirming that the indicator for the slot with the
media is not blinking rapidly, eject the media.
NOTE
When you format media with this unit,"HS Files" and
"Audio001" folders will be created automatically in the root
directory.
4. Insert that media into the media slot of a computer, for
example.
If this media was formatted by this unit, it will be recognized
by the computer as a drive named "HS-20".
In this example, "HS-20" is used as the drive name.
5. Copy audio files that you want to import into the “Audio001”
folder inside the “HS Files” folder, which is on the HS-20.
CAUTION
Do not eject the media while data is being written to it.
Doing so could damage data on the media and even make
the data unreadable.
For details, please see the manuals for your computer, card
reader or other device being used for this purpose.
6. After writing is complete, remove the media from the media
slot of the computer or other device.
