A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.
Genuine Toshiba owner's manual. Couldn't really ask for more. And written in understandable English in contrast to a few recent experiences I have had with manuals for other equipment other than Toshiba but made in China and written in "Chinglish"!

Before you begin� Make sure that you have DARWIN connected to your mixer as described in the General Instructions section. DARWIN's eight outputs can be connected to eight inputs on your mixer. DARWIN's analog inputs can be connected to the channel outputs.
RECORDING
You probably already know how to record with DARWIN since it works just like a normal tape recorder.
Set the Input Routing
The Routing module determines which inputs are sent to what tracks. The analog sources are shown on the left side and the 8 track inputs are at the bottom of the window. The digital inputs and the mixdown sources are shown on the right side of the window (User setting only). In the example below, the 2-buss preset routing has been selected, which connects analog inputs 1 and 2 to all eight tracks. The connections between the inputs and tracks are represented by lines.
Input Pad Setting
Enable Tracks
1. While in the routing screen shown above, Press the Track Record Enable Buttons corresponding to the tracks you have just connected. In the example above, you could record enable tracks 1 and 2 (or 3 & 4, or 5 & 6, or 7 & 8, or all of them for that matter). Each pair is connected to analog inputs 1 & 2. The track record enable buttons will begin flashing when pressed and the corresponding peak meter above will reflect the signal level at the input.
