Punch-in/out start:

Starts punch-in/out when the

foot switch is connected to PUNCH l/O jack,

even if the record-ready mode has not been acti-

vated using REC/PAUSE button.

PLAY Indicator: According to its state (lit, slow/fast

blinking), this indicator indicates one of the fol-

lowing 3 modes:

• Indicator lit: PLAY button has been pressed.

• Indicator fast blinking: FF button or REW but-

ton has been pressed during playback (CUE/

REVIEW mode).

•

Indicator slowly blinking:

Continues blinking for

approximately 4 seconds after the POWER switch

has been turned on. (During this period the but-

tons are inoperative.)

REW (REWIND): Press this button the rewind the tape.

If the ZERO STOP switch is ON, the tape will stop

rewinding when the counter reaches the vicinity of

“999.”

FF (FAST FORWARD): Press this button the wind the

tape ahead at high speed. When this button is

pressed while in the PLAY mode, the audio will be

heard as the tape winds ahead at high speed.

STOP: Immediately stops the transport and/or defeats

the RECORD mode.

Tape Counter and RESET Button

This three-digit tape counter provides a handy index of

tape position. It’s a good idea to write down the coun-

ter readings for important points of a recording, so you

can locate them easily afterwards. The RESET button

resets the counter to “000” at the current tape position.

This is a useful function when used in conjunction with

the ZERO STOP switch to identify specific positions on

the tape.

Cassette Compartment

Your cassette tape is loaded here. Use only high-qual-

ity chrome (CrO2) formula cassette tape. Other tape

formulations will not provide optimum frequency response

and signal-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 retaining finger at the rear of the cassette com-

partment. Then gently press the front of the cassette

DOWN to seat the cassette in place. (SEE DIAGRAM)

MT120 MULTITRACK CASSETTE RECORDER

[Note] Since the MT120 uses the entire width of the

cassette tape to record four tracks, the cassette

can only be recorded on one side. Never change

the TAPE SPEED setting while the tape is run-

ning.

MIC/LINE Input Jacks 7 — 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 MT120’s

mixer.

PHONES Jack

Any pair of stereo monitor headphones with an imped-

ance of between approximately 8 and 40 ohms can be

plugged into this jack. Headphone monitoring is the

most convenient way to listen to the MT120’s various

signals. High-quality headphones such as the YAMAHA

RH5M or MH100 are ideal for this purpose.

PUNCH l/O Footswitch Jack

An optional YAMAHA FC4 or FC5 Footswitch can be

connected to this jack to permit foot-controlled punch-in

and punch-out recording (see “PUNCH-IN/OUT RE-

CORDING” on page 23).

AUX SEND 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

EMP100 Multi-effect Processor) to add effects to MT120

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/RE-

TURN LOOP” on page 22).
