Yamaha MT100II - Manual (Page 8)

©Cassette Compartment
Your cassette tape is loaded here. Use only high-quality
chrome (Cr02) formula cassette tape. Other tape formula­
tions will not provide optimum frequency response and sig-
nal-to-noise performance.
A “lifter-tab” is provided at the right side of the cassette
compartment cover. Lift the cover using this tab. Hold the
cassette with the open end (the end at which you can see
tape) facing the transport controls. First, press the rear
edge of the cassette DOWN and UNDER the central retain­
ing finger at the rear of the cassette compartment. Then
gently press the front of the cassette DOWN to seat the
cassette in place. (SEE DIAGRAM)
[Note] Since the МТ100П uses the entire width of the cas­
sette tape to record four tracks, the cassette can only
be recorded on one side. Never change the TAPE
SPEED setting while the tape is running.
©MtC/UNE Input Jacks 1 — 4
These four input jacks accept signals from microphones, or
from line-level sources including, electronic keyboards,
electric guitars and basses and tape players. The four
channel inputs are standard monaural 1/4" phone jacks.
When a source is plugged into one of these jacks, its signal
is sent to the corresponding channel of the MTIOOn's
mixer.
©PHONES Jack
Any pair of stereo monitor headphones with an impedance
of between approximately 8 and 40 ohms can be plugged
into this jack. Headphone monitoring is the most conven­
ient way to listen to the MTIOOH’s various signals. High-
quality headphones such as the YAMAHA RH5M or
MH100 are ideal for this purpose.
©PUNCH I/O Footswitch Jack
An optional YAMAHA FS-1 Footswitch can be connected to
this jack to permit foot-controlled punch-in and punch-out
recording (see "PUNCH-IN/OUT RECORDING” on page
21 ).
©AUXSEND Jack
©AUX RETURN R and L(MONO) Jacks
The AUX SEND and RETURN jacks make it simple to use
an external signal processor (such as the YAMAHA FX500
Simul-effect Processor) to add effects to MTIOOn signals.
The AUX SEND jack should be connected to the input of
your signal processor, and the output from your signal
processor should be connected to the AUX RETURN jack.
If your signal processor produces only monaural output, it
should be connected to the L (MONO) AUX RETURN jack
(see “USING THE AUX SEND/RETURN LOOP” on page
20 ).
© TAPE OUT Jacks 1 — 4
The four TAPE OUT jacks are direct outputs from the cor­
responding tracks of the MTIOOn recorder. These RCA pin
type jacks make it possible to feed the output from the four
recorder tracks to an external mixing console. The TAPE
OUT jacks can also be used to feed each of the recorder’s
tracks to external signal processors, the output of which
can then be returned to the MTIOOE’s mixer inputs.
©STEREO OUT R and L Jacks
These are the main outputs from the MT100II, delivering
the stereo output signal from the MTIOOn mixer section.
The RCA pin-type STEREO OUT jacks can be connected
to a stereo sound system for monitoring and listening. You
can record a mixdown of your tape tracks when these jacks
are connected to the inputs of a stereo recorder.
© MONITOR OUT R and L Jacks
These jacks output the same signal fed to the PHONES
jack (at line level). Control the level (volume) of the output
using the MONITOR/PHONES control. The MONITOR
OUT jacks can be connected to a stereo sound system for
monitoring and listening. They are RCA pin type jacks.
