By the way: I was really happy about the ease of use.
The documentation is very clear, but on the other hand
not in-depth: For example, I could not find any information
about the meaning of "error code 02", which is shown since
I reformatted the partition.

It's pretty common these days for instruction manuals not to have very
much detail other than basic operating instructions. Error codes scare
people, and the concept that a user might actually see such a message
scares the marketing people (who are usually responsible for the
instruction manuals). When I worked with the documentation for a
recorder we all know and love, the product manager (who's no longer
with the company) didn't want a detailed instruction manual, he wanted
a quick start manual. His reasoning was that a major selling point was
simplicity, and if the first thing the user picks up when he opens the
box is a 200 page manual, he won't think it's as simple as what he
thought he was purchasing.

Perhaps "error code 02" translates to:
"Drummer not 100% in sync with click. Recording device will
take a 3 days break to give the drummer the opportunity
to improve timing and precision."

More likely it means "I can't write anything to this disk." I think
you need TASCAM's help to sort this out. The dealer isn't likely to be
able to help you other than to exchange the unit.
