Troubleshooting

No power when unit is switched on.

Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the unit and the AC adapter. Try a different power outlet and confirm the AC input voltage and frequency match your local supply.

Audio distortion or clipping on inputs.

Check the input gain settings and fader levels. Ensure the signal source is not too hot and that the overload indicator LED is not constantly illuminated. Adjust input impedance if applicable.

Recording is not saving to the SD card.

Verify that the SD card is properly inserted and formatted (preferably within the Model 24 itself). Ensure the card is not write-protected and has sufficient free space. Try a different, compatible SD card.

USB connection not recognized by computer.

Ensure the correct USB cable is used and securely connected at both ends. Install the latest Tascam USB drivers for your operating system. Try a different USB port on your computer.

Bluetooth audio connection is unstable or not connecting.

Ensure the Bluetooth device is within range and not obstructed. Turn off Bluetooth on both the Model 24 and the source device, then re-pair them. Check that the source device is compatible with Bluetooth 4.0 and the supported codecs (AAC, SBC).
