ened before replacing the DA-98HR in the rack.
13.1.2 Remote control units (RC-898,
RC-848 and RC-828)
The RC-828, RC-848 and RC-898 remote control
units can be used with the DA-98HR as well as the
DA-78HR, DA-98, DA-88 and DA-38 DTRS record-
ers. However, note that not all functions of the DA-
98HR can be used with these units.
The RC-898 remote control unit can be rack-

around stand (CS-898).
If a longer cable is required, the 10 meter (30 ft.)
PW-848L can be used.

nected to the DA-98HR’s

RC-898 controller. The first unit in the chain

Machine ID 1 (ID 0 for DA-88 units), even when a
remote control unit is used.

only one) must be terminated at the
