18 TASCAM HD-P2 Owner's ManualContinued from the previous pageHD-P2 Screens and MenusSet System Time Figure 21 shows the current time stored in the real-time clock chip of the HD-P2. A backup lithium bat-tery powers this clock. The screen shows the status ofthis battery.Figure 21 - Set System Time ScreenAudio Clock ManagementThe HD-P2 supports a number of internal and externalclocking options. Figure 23 shows the current samplerate along with the values of any external signals, andthe measured deviance between their values and whatthe HD-P2 expects.Whenever there is an error with a clock source fallingout of spec the HD-P2 shows [error] next to the item.The Clear Alerts option is used to clear these errors.Figure 23 - Audio Clock Information ScreenMedia ManagementThis screen shown in Figure 24 provides tools forchecking media useage and formatting/erasing CFmedia.Figure 24 - Media Management ScreenContinued on the next pagePower ManagementFigure 22 - Power Reading ScreenFigure 22 shows the power readings screen. Thisinformation screen shows the state of the HD-P2power system. It reports on the current voltage lev-els of the three sources of power for the HD-P2. TheFireWire Voltage level should be between 8 and 40Volts, although some FireWire adaptors may not pro-vide power. The Battery Voltage should nominally beabove 10 volts and the batteries should be replacedif below eight. The provided AC adaptor providesapproximately 12 VDC.The voltage readings for FireWire and battery willread higher when they are not being used to powerthe HD-P2. This is because there is no load on them.The HD-P2 automatically switches between AC andFireWire when both are present, preferring the highervoltage source.
