If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home
or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an
appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse
and
dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard
by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
If this product is not provided with a mains plug, or one has to be
fitted, then follow the instructions given below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in

WARNING: This apparatus must be earthed.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-and-YELLOW must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter
E or by the safety earth symbol ç or coloured GREEN or
GREEN-and-YELLOW.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.
When replacing the fuse only a correctly rated approved type
should be used and be sure to re-fit the fuse cover.
IF IN DOUBT — CONSULT A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.
TASCAM FE-8 5
1 – Introduction and installation
Thank you for purchasing the TASCAM FE-8 fader
expansion unit. This is designed to be used with the
TASCAM FW-1884 unit, and adds another eight con-
trol channels, including motorized faders, to the FW-
1884.
It is possible to add up to 15 FE-8 units to the FW-
1884, making a total of 128 channels.
Each FE-8 requires its own AC power source, but
does not require its own IEEE 1394 (FireWire) con-
nection to the computer (see below for details).
Copyright, etc.
Windows, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 are
trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
Macintosh, MacOS, MacOS X and FireWire™ are
trademarks of Apple Computer.
All other trademarks are the property of their respec-
tive holders.
Environmental considerations
The FE-8 can be operated in most environments, but
we suggest that you keep the environmental condi-
tions within the following limits:
Ambient temperature between 5°C and 35°C (41°F
to 95°F).
Updating the software
The FE-8 does not require its own driver software.
Instead, the FE-8 is recognized by the FW-1884’s
driver.
Download the version of the FW-1884 software
which supports the FE-8 expansion from the
TASCAM Web site.
1 First, uninstall the existing driver software
(Windows and Mac OS X). The method to do
this varies, according to the operating system
you are using. See the instructions below.
There is no need to uninstall the Mac OS 9
software as the new installation overwrites the
old settings.
2 Next, install the new drivers and software, fol-
lowing the instructions in the FW-1884 Setup
Guide (“Installation (Windows 2000 and Win-
dows XP)” on page 7, “Installation (Mac OS
9.2)” on page 9 and “Installation (Mac OS X
10.2.4 and above)” on page 10).
NOTE
You cannot use the Windows New Hardware Wizard
described in “Installation using the Windows New Hard-
ware Wizard:” on page 8 until the FE-8 has been
installed and connected as described below.
Windows uninstall
To uninstall the software under all versions of Win-
dows which support the FW-1884, use the
Add/
Remove Programs
icon in the Control Panel to uninstall
the FW-1884 driver and software.
Reboot your computer if instructed to do so.
Macintosh OS X uninstall
On the disc or inside the disk image (.dmg) of the
original FW-1884 software, there is a package (series
of Installer instructions) called
FW-1884 Remover.pkg.
Open this package and uninstall all the old FW-1884
drivers, etc.
Reboot the computer if instructed to do so.
NOTE
You will need an Administrator name and password to
perform this operation.

2 – Physical installation
WARNING
Before undertaking this procedure, make sure the FW-
1884 is turned off, and disconnected from the AC power
supply and computer. The FE-8 should also be discon-
nected from the AC power supply.
1 Decide on which side of the FW-1884 you will
be using the FE-8. Remove that end cheek
from the FW-1884 (the illustration below
shows the left end cheek).
WARNING
The FE-8 is designed to be used with the FW-1884 only
as described in the instructions here. Only use it in this
way, as there is a danger of electric shock under other
conditions (that is, when standing apart from the FW-
1884 or other FE-8 units).
When the end cheeks are removed from the FW-1884,
some sharp metal edges are exposed. Take suitable pre-
cautions not to cut yourself on these edges while fitting
the FE-8.
Remove the two screws retaining the end
cheek, and keep them in a safe place.
2 Now lift the end cheek up slightly before
removing it (the illustration here shows a
cross-section through the left end cheek.
3 Fix the end cheek to the side of the FE-8.
Locate the three retaining lugs on the end
cheek to the three holes on the side of the
FE-8.
4 When the lugs are seated in the holes, push the
end cheek down into place.
5 Replace the two screws removed at the start of
this procedure.

TASCAM FE-8 7
6 There is no physical connection between the
FW-1884 and the FE8. Instead, you should use
the special supplied mounting pad, into which
the feet of both the FW-1844 and FE-8 fit, and
which secures the units firmly in the correct
location relative to each another.
If you are adding more than one FE-8 unit to your
FW-1884 setup, you should use the mounting pads to
link the FE-8 units, and replace the end cheek(s) only
on the units at the end(s) of the line.
7 To connect the FE-8 and FW-1884, connect
one end of the IEEE 1394 cable supplied with
the FE-8 to either
FireWire port on the rear
panel of the FE-8, and the other end to the
unused
FireWire port on the rear panel of the
FW-1884.
Unlike (for example) SCSI connections, you do
not need to terminate the chain, and there is
no need to number devices or set IDs, etc.
Either
FireWire port of the FW-1884 may be
used for connecting the FW-1884 to the com-
puter or FE-8 units, and either port of the FE-
8 may be used for connection to the FW-1884
or other FE-8 units.
8 Connect the FW-1884 to the host computer.
9 Connect the AC power cords to all the units,
and switch on the units. We suggest switching
on the units starting with the unit furthest
from the computer, and moving in to the FW-
1884.
NOTE
You can use the FE-8 only in conjunction with an FW-
1884 unit. It cannot be used by itself with a computer.
You should either use the cable supplied with the FW-
1884 or the FE-8 (preferred) or a IEEE 1394 cable of
equivalent quality when making connections. Cheap
cables may not meet the interface specifications and
may cause device malfunctions.

3 – Software and the FE-8
Each FE-8 unit in your system provides an additional
virtual MIDI port, through which controller informa-
tion is passed to the DAW application, and status
information (fader position, indicator status, etc.) is
passed back from the DAW to the FE-8.
One such virtual MIDI channel is provided per unit.
If you have many FE-8 units connected, it may be
difficult for you to keep track of them in the DAW
application, and so the Control Panel for the FW-
1884 includes tools to help you manage (rename,
reorder, etc.) the units.
Any FE-8 units connected to the FW-1884 will show
on the equipment list on the Macintosh versions of
the software (this feature is not part of the Windows
version).
Notice also the
FE-8 tab at the top of the Control Panel
in all versions of the software, as explained below.
Naming the FE-8 units
If you have more than one FE-8 unit in your system,
it may be difficult for you to keep track of the differ-
ent units when they are connected together.
When an FE-8 is first discovered by the system, it is
identified with a letter-number string, which proba-
bly won’t mean too much to you in the future.
The FE-8 tab in the Control Panel allows you to
rename the units to something more meaningful.
Here, they are labeled as
Left and Right, but you may
want to label them with numbers, or according to the
tracks they will control, etc.
Select a unit in the list and double-click the name to
begin editing.
Click
Apply when finished naming all units or Revert if
you want to discard all changes.
These names are echoed system-wide and are
reflected in all applications using the FE-8 unit.
Note the
Identify button at lower left. When you press
this button, the
FireWire indicator on the FE-8 unit
that is highlighted in the list flashes. This can be use-
ful if you forget in which order the FE-8 units have
been arranged.
Re-ordering the FE-8 units
For convenience, you don’t have to keep the list of
FE-8 units in the order they were discovered by the
system.
Highlight a unit in the list above, and click the Move
Up
or Move Dn (move down) button to re-order the unit
in the list.
