15.1 Options for the DA-98
You can purchase a number of options through

and attach the handles as shown in the illustration

15.1.2 Remote control (RC-848)
The RC-848 Multi-unit Remote Controller can be
used with the DA-98 as well as the DA-88 and
DA-38 DTRS recorders. However, note that not
all functions of the DA-98 can be used with the
RC-848.
The RC-848 can be rack-mounted using the RM-
8824, or placed on a roll-around stand (CS-848).
If a longer cable is required, the 10 meter (30 ft.)
PW-848L can be used.
The RC-848 can also be connected to units with
an ACCESSORY-2 connector. For these purposes,
the PW88-AC2 cable is required.
• If an RC-848 controller is used, it should be
connected to the DA-98’s
REMOTE IN/SYNC
IN
connector [43].
• Up to 6 DTRS units can be controlled using
one RC-848 controller.
• The first DA-98 or DA-38 unit in the chain
should be given Machine ID 1 (ID 0 for DA-88
units), even if an RC-848 is used.
• The last DTRS unit in the chain (even if it is the
only one) must be terminated at the
SYNC OUT
connector [44] using a TASCAM terminator.
15.1.3 Meter unit (MU-8824)
The optional MU-8824 external meter bridge unit
can be connected using a PW-88M cable from the
