Always touch it with your fingers.
Do not press the display forcefully with a finger or poke it with a pen, toothpick or other pointed object. Doing so could scratch the display or cause malfunction.
The display touch screen is constructed of a film and glass. Do not apply strong force to its surface. Doing so could break the glass.
When using the display, do not put a hand on the panel or push around the display forcefully. Doing so could prevent accurate position detection.
Do not place anything on top of the display or otherwise put weight on the same place for a long time. Doing so could cause the panel to warp or result in inaccurate position detection.
Do not apply a commercially-available screen protection film to the display. Doing so could prevent normal operation.
Gently wipe the display with a soft dry cloth that does not shed dust (e.g. a cleaning cloth). Avoid wiping with a stiff cloth or rubbing with force. Doing so could damage the surface of the LCD. Do not use benzene, thinner, manicure remover, alcohol or similar substances.
NOTE
The display is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing technologies, and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, but sometimes pixels might not appear or might appear as red or black dots. This is not a malfunction.

Mark functions
Adding marks
One timeline mode or one take can have a maximum of
99 marks, including automatically-created marks.
Use the following methods to create marks.
•
Push the
MARK key on the front panel
Press the MARK key to add a mark at the current playback/recording time. In timeline mode, marks are only added to the timeline. They are not added to the files themselves.
Mark names are assigned using a “MARK XX" format.
NOTE
•
An “ Audio Over” occurs when the level exceeds the maximum level (full scale) minus the value set by the user. (In the example above, this would be when the level exceeds the maximum level minus 0.20 dB.)
•
•
If an event that would create a mark is received from a parallel control, a mark is added as if the MARK key had been pushed.
After an Audio Over or Synchronization Error auto marker is added, additional events of the same type will not cause additional marks to be added until at least 10 seconds have passed.
Using keys to locate to marks
Press the . [MARK .] key or /[MARK /]key while pressing and holding the SHIFT key to locate to the previous or next mark.
NOTE
The unit will also locate to the next or previous mark when a MARK SKIP +/– event is received from a parallel control.
•
Use the auto marker functions
Marks can be added automatically when audio overs occur, at regular time intervals, when synchronization errors occur and when recording starts and stops (including when prerecording starts). These marks are added when the appropriate auto marker function is turned ON. (See “OPTIONS page” on page
101.)
In timeline mode, marks are added to both the timeline and the file itself.
Marks are named according to how they were made.
When auto mark is made
Audio over occurs

14 – Timecode synchronization
In this chapter, we explain the use of timecode synchronization.
This unit’s playback and recording can be synchronized with SMPTE timecode input through the TIMECODE INPUT connector on the rear panel or the internal timecode generator (“master timecode” hereafter).
Time code synchronization differs according to the operation mode.
Playback synchronized with timecode
Timeline mode
In timeline mode, playback can be synchronized with master timecode.
When set to do so, playback synchronizes with master timecode when it starts.
Take mode
Timecode synchronized playback is not supported in this mode.
Playlist mode
Timecode synchronized playback is not supported in this mode.
On-air mode
Timecode synchronized playback is not supported in this mode.
Recording synchronized with timecode
Timeline mode
Recording can be synchronized with master timecode in timeline mode.
When recording with timecode synchronization, master timecode is captured the instant that recording starts, and recording starts on the timeline from that timecode time.
Take mode
Recording cannot be synchronized with master timecode in this mode.
However, the timecode from the internal timecode generator is captured at the beginning of recording as the file starting time.
Playlist mode
In playlist mode, recording is not possible regardless of the timecode synchronization status.
On-air mode
In on-air mode, recording is not possible regardless of the timecode synchronization status.

CHASE
indicator on the Home Screen.
Timecode offset
You can set an offset for master timecode synchronization.
By doing so, you can synchronize to master timecode for playback with a set time difference (see “SYNC page” on page 104).
Rechase
This unit continues to monitor master timecode even after synchronized playback starts. Should the playback time of this unit and the master timecode become unsynchronized for any reason, the unit can “rechase” the timecode. You can set whether or not the unit uses rechase and the degree of the discrepancy that must occur before rechasing (see “SYNC page” on page 104).
CAUTION
During synchronized recording, this unit only synchronizes to the master timecode once at the start of recording. There is no rechase function as there is with synchronized playback.

15 – Importing files recorded by other devices
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
Sampling frequency: 44.1, 47.952*, 48, 48.048**, 88.2, 96,
176.4,192 kHz
*48kHz-0.1% pull-down
**48kHz+0.1% pull-up
Quantization bit rate: 16/24-bit
Number of tracks: 1 or 2
CAUTION
Since the sampling frequency (sampling rate) that can be played back is fixed by the project, the file sampling frequency must match the set project sampling frequency
(Fs) value.
Preparation before importing
Check the sampling frequency (sampling rate) of the file(s) that you want to import in advance.
1. Select a project with an Fs value that matches the sampling frequency of the file(s) or create a new project with the same sampling frequency as the file(s) using the Fs item on
CREATE PROJECT
screen 1/3.
6. Copy the audio file(s) that you want to import into the
“Session_i” folder inside the “Project_i” folder on the
HS-2000 drive.
CAUTION
Do not eject a CF card while data is being written to it.
Doing so could cause data on the card to be damaged or even become unreadable. For further information, please see the manual for your computer, card reader or other device being used for this purpose.
