TASCAM FW-1804 9
Connections
Status Indicators
The four green status indicators show the current status of:
ADAT: The 8-channel optical input
D IN: The stereo digital input (S/PDIF) either from the
coaxial input, or from the optical input if this has been
selected from the Control Panel as the S/PDIF source.
CLOCK: The system clock
FireWire: The IEEE 1394 connection
When these indicators are lit, it means that the appropriate
connection has been made and the signal is being received
properly.
A flashing FireWire indicator shows that there is an error
in the IEEE 1394 connection.
No indicator means "no connection" for all indicators
except CLOCK. If any of the other three indicators are
flashing fast, this shows an input error. A slowly flashing
indicator indicates a lock problem.
Clock Source Setting
In a digital audio setup, there should be one and only cur-
rent clock settings.
The FW-1804 may act as the clock master for the whole
system, or it may act as a slave, taking a clock signal from
one of the digital inputs or the BNC WORD IN connector.
The clock source and rate are set in the computer Control
Panel:
