Photos of the back of the DR-100 are scarce, but here's one:
http://www.dv247.com/assets/products/61514_l.jpgCan anyone make out the functions of the switches on the back?
It would be helpful if we could set limiter, mic attenuation, and
low cut filter functions without a trip through the software menus.
The above photo shows a cut line on the back of the DR-100 at
about where you might expect access to the battery compartment.
But I think the battery door is on the side, below the concentric
gain control dials. A door on the side will allow you to change out
batteries without removing the recorder from a tripod -- nice!.
Also sweet to have individual control over the gain of each channel.
edit: I found this short movie, taken at the NAMM show, that briefly
shows the back of the DR-100. The slide switches are in a different
configuration, and there does not appear to be a tripod mount on
this floor model.

The differences between the model shown and the photo make me
think it may be a while before Tascam finalizes the design for the
DR-100 and goes into production.
