POWER SWITCH This switch turns on the MT2X. When switching the unit on or off, make sure that the Input Faders and the AUX RTN Control are at the "0" position. SYNC IN/SYNC OUT JACKS These jacks are used during synchronized operation with MIDI-equipped instruments. The jacks make it possible to use an optional YMC10 MIDI Converter in place of the YMC2 MIDI Converter designed specifically for the MT2X. For a detailed explanation, refer to "SyncRecording" on page 34. TAPE OUT JACKS These jacks directly output the signal of each track. During playback, the signals of the tracks being played are output. During recording, the signals of the tracks being recorded are output. Since the output level cannot be adjusted, the input levels of the mixer or recorder connected to these jacks must be set to match the output level of the MT2X. These jacks can be conveniently used in the following ways: l Another 4-track recorder can be connected for direct dubbing of all four channels. l An external mixer can be connected for mixdown. ST OUT JACKS The mixed signals of each channel (and each track) are output in stereo through these jacks. Since these jacks output the final mix, a stereo cassette deck can be connected. These jacks can also be used as follows. l The MT2X can be used as a sub-mixer, with the out- put sent to a main mixer through this jack. l A stereo amplifier or powered monitor speakers can be connected through this jack. AUX SEND JACK This jack outputs the mixed signal from the Aux bus, and is used as an output terminal for the connection of an effects device. This can also be used as an additional monitor output. AUX RTN JACKS These jacks are used to input the signal from an effects device back into the MT2X. As well, the mixed output from an external mixer can be connected to these jacks. Please note that if only a single plug is inserted into either one of these jacks, the signal will be sent to both Left and Right channels. This is useful if the effects device being used is mono. YMC2 CONNECTOR This connector accepts the optional YMC2 MIDI Converter which has been designed for perfect electronic and cosmetic matching with the MT2X. When installed, the YMC2 receives its power directly from the MT2X. The YMC2 is used for tape synchronization of external MIDI equipment. The synchronization signal is recorded on track 4 of the MT2X tape. l VOLTAGE SELECTOR (General model only) The MT2X voltage selector is located on the bottom panel. A standard screwdriver ("minus" type) can be used to rotate the selector to match the MT2X to your local AC mains voltage. * NEVER ADJUST THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR WHILE THE AC CORD IS PLUGGED IN! * CHECK THAT THE SELECTED VOLTAGE IS CORRECT BEFORE PLUGGING IN YOUR MT2X FOR THE FIRST TIME! 13

POWER SWITCH
This switch turns on the MT2X. When switching the unit
on or off, make sure that the Input Faders
and the
AUX RTN Control
are at the “0” position.
SYNC IN/SYNC OUT JACKS
These jacks are used during synchronized operation with
MIDI-equipped instruments. The jacks make it possible
to use an optional YMC10 MIDI Converter in place of the
YMC2 MIDI Converter designed specifically for the
MT2X. For a detailed explanation, refer to “Sync-
Recording” on page 34.
TAPE OUT JACKS
These jacks directly output the signal of each track. Dur-
ing playback, the signals of the tracks being played are
output. During recording, the signals of the tracks be-
ing recorded are output. Since the output level cannot
be adjusted, the input levels of the mixer or recorder
connected to these jacks must be set to match the
output level of the MT2X. These jacks can be conven-
iently used in the following ways:
l
Another 4-track recorder can be connected for direct
dubbing of all four channels.
l
An external mixer can be connected for mixdown.
ST OUT JACKS
The mixed signals of each channel (and each track) are
output in stereo through these jacks. Since these jacks
output the final mix, a stereo cassette deck can be
connected. These jacks can also be used as follows.

is used as an output terminal for the connection of an
effects device. This can also be used as an additional
monitor output.
AUX RTN JACKS
These jacks are used to input the signal from an effects
device back into the MT2X. As well, the mixed output
from an external mixer can be connected to these jacks.
Please note that if only a single plug is inserted into either
one of these jacks, the signal will be sent to both Left
and Right channels. This is useful if the effects device

YMC2 CONNECTOR
This connector accepts the optional YMC2 MIDI Con-
verter which has been designed for perfect electronic
and cosmetic matching with the MT2X. When installed,
the YMC2 receives its power directly from the MT2X.
The YMC2 is used for tape synchronization of external
MIDI equipment. The synchronization signal is recorded
on track 4 of the MT2X tape.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR (General model only)
The MT2X voltage selector is located on the
bottom panel. A standard screwdriver (“minus”
type) can be used to rotate the selector to match
the MT2X to your local AC mains voltage.
* NEVER ADJUST THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR
WHILE THE AC CORD IS PLUGGED IN!
* CHECK THAT THE SELECTED VOLTAGE IS
CORRECT BEFORE PLUGGING IN YOUR MT2X
FOR THE FIRST TIME!
