Frequently Asked Questions - SS250 Control TASCAM

How do I install SS250 Control on my device?

Download the app from the App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android), or the TEAC Global Site (Windows/Mac). For Windows, run the installer and follow the prompts. For Mac, open the .dmg file and run the .pkg installer. Accept the license agreement and choose installation options.

What do I need to connect SS250 Control to my unit?

Ensure the SS-CDR250N/SS-R250N unit is powered on and connected to the same router as your device via LAN cable. Obtain the unit's IP address and IP password from the NETWORK 1 menu. Launch SS250 Control, select the unit from the list, and enter the IP password to login.

Can I control multiple SS-CDR250N/SS-R250N units at the same time?

No, the app can only control one unit at a time. All units on the same subnet appear on the login screen, but you must select and login to one unit to operate it.

Why is my unit not appearing on the login screen?

Check that the unit is powered on and connected to the same router. If the remote power control function is OFF, a powered-off unit will not appear. Also, ensure both device and unit are on the same subnet. Tap the reload button to refresh the list.

What is Admin mode and how do I use it?

Admin mode allows remote power management (on/off, restart) of the unit. On the login screen, swipe the key icon left to enable Admin mode. Set an app password the first time. Then enter the unit's administrator password (from NETWORK 2 menu) to access power controls.

Can I use SS250 Control and the unit's front panel simultaneously?

Yes, but certain screens (BROWSE, PLAYLISTS, TIMER EVENT) cannot be edited simultaneously. If the unit's screen is being edited, the app will show a lock icon and allow viewing only.

How do I create a timer event?

Go to the TIMER EVENT screen. Tap the + button to create a new event. Set the execution days, time, repeat count, event type (play, record, stop, download), and select a file or input source as needed. Tap Save to apply.

What should I do if I forget the IP or admin password?

The IP password can be viewed on the unit's NETWORK 1 menu. The admin password is set via NETWORK 2 menu. If you forget the admin password, you may need to reset the unit to factory defaults (see unit manual). The app password can be reset by reinstalling the app.

Does SS250 Control support all features of the SS-CDR250N/SS-R250N?

It supports most major functions: transport control, recording/playback, menu settings, browsing, playlists, timer events, and power management. Some advanced settings (e.g., detailed EQ) may not be available; these can be set directly on the unit.

How do I lock the app screen to prevent accidental touches?

On the Home screen, double-tap the lock icon (padlock) to lock the app. The icon will change to 'ON'. Double-tap again to unlock. This prevents unintended operations during use.
