Before you use my trick, first try the trick by Lyle which can be seen here: [ Ссылка ] If that does not work then use the trick from my video.
At the end of my video I say to never use the dr60 without a 'prepared xlr' I mean with this, one with the lock removed. Buy xlr connectors without a lock (little hole) or cut the little hole open on your existing xlr cables. Here is a photo of my 'lock removed' xlr plug on my DR-60 [ Ссылка ] Because the socket on the Tascam is rather tied anyway, The xlr stays in without a lock just as well.
I found this great tip on YouTube by Joshua Cruz on how to remove a stuck XLR quickly with minimal damage and without having to open the recorder. [ Ссылка ] (edit: It seems the original Cruz video is no longer online)
Shame on you Tascam as it seems to happen a lot on Tascam recorders. Great recorder, bad fragile xlr combi connector.
Here you can see the DR-60 in action on my Video-rig in a live situation: [ Ссылка ]
