TASCAM IF-AE8HR occurs if there is no clock signal or the signal is ±6% DUAL mode (Fs=88.2k or 96k) outside the nominal frequency. In these cases, once a Data is transferred in over two channels in the DUAL valid clock signal is received again, the indicator will mode. In high-frequency sampling modes (88.2k and light steadily. 96k), there is twice the amount of data compared to the usual modes (44k and 48k).
