3 D E *YAMAHA IH Fig. 2 - Rear Panel* A. OUTPUT JACKS Separate Output and Direct Only Output phone jacks are provided, both having nominal output levels of -20dB (78mV). The jacks may be used at the same time as the front-panel Output jack. Depending on the setting of the E1010's Mixing control, the rear panel Output jack will provide all delayed, all direct, or any blend of sound. The Direct Only output carries the same signal as applied to the E1010 Input, subject only to the Input Level control. NOTE: Some effects can be achieved only when the direct and delayed sounds are electrically mixed, either within the E1010 via the Mixing control, or externally if the E1010's Mixing control is set fully clockwise (to all "Delay" sound). Other effects can be achieved only when the direct and delayed sounds are kept separate electrically. If an expected effect is not achieved, be sure the appropriate output is used with a suitable Mixing control setting. B. INPUT JACK This jack is identical to the E1010's front panel Input jack. The front panel Input takes priority, however, so the rear panel Input will be disregarded as soon as anything is plugged into the front panel Input jack. C. GROUND SWITCH (For U.S. and Canadian models only) This three position switch may reduce noise or hum in some installations. Use the switch position which sounds best. OFF does not interrupt the ground path between the AC cord and the chassis (it merely removes a filter capacitor from the AC line). D. FUSE This 0.5 amp fuse for nominal 120V AC mains on U.S. and Canadian models or 250mA fuse for nominal 220V AC mains on other models protects the delay line by preventing excess current flow in the AC side of the power supply. E. AC POWER CORD This grounded (3-wire)AC power cord may be wound around holders on the E1010 rear panel when not in use. HINTS FOR QUICK SETUP Plug the cable from your microphone, instrument, or mixer effects output into either of the E1010 "Input" jacks. Connect a cable from either of the E1010's "Output" jacks (not the "Direct Only Output") into the input jack of your amplifier, mixer, tape machine, etc. Then set up the E1010 for the desired effect, referring to the diagrams on Pages 8 and 9 of this manual. If you don't hear any sound right away, check the E1010 Power switch and Input level control, and make sure that the display is active during louder passages. Be sure the input and output cables are connected properly. Short delays are useful for flanging, double-tracking, tunnel sounds, and similar effects, Medium and long delays are useful for vibrato, echo, pitch bending, and rhythmic effects. The delay ranges have considerable overlap to ensure that modulation effects can be obtained without running into restrictions at the end of a given delay range. The tone controls themselves operate the same as most tone controls, but they can modify the actual effect as well as the frequency balance. For example, in short delays the Bass and Treble tone controls can change the nature of the comb filter or flanging effect. In medium or long delays with feedback, the tone controls can change the effective delay time, depending on the frequency content of the input signal. While you can always refer to diagrams, you will probably want to learn to figure setups and effects "from scratch." This is easier when you understand what the E1010 is doing to the sound. After familiarizing yourSelf with the unit, we recommend that you study the section of this manual titled "How the E1010 Works." * The rear panel show here is subject to U.S. specifications. PRECAUTIONS 1. Before turning ON the E1010, set its FEEDBACK control to minimum (full counterclockwise). This avoids any potential howling which could damage speakers. 2. While the E1010 is protected against turn-ON and turn-OFF "thumps" or transients, it is still a safe practice to Lower the volume of your power amplifier when first turning ON the E1010. Also, begin with the E1010 INPUT control at a low setting and gradually turn it up until program peaks illuminate most of the LED's in the unit's INPUT LEVEL display. Then adjust the power amplifier volume as desired. 3. Use caution whenever connecting the E1010 out- put to its input; mixing and/or feedback can be achieved without special connections by using the controls provided. 4. Never connect the output of a power amplifier to the E1010 inputs; they are designed for mic, instrument or line level signals only (Exception; a guitar amp output may be used if it is connected via a suitable direct box, one including an attenuation pad to lower the signal to mic or line levels.) 5. Do not connect power supplies or apply DC voltages to any E1010 inputs or outputs. 6. Never use abrasives or spray-on chemical solvents to clean the E1010. Mild detergents applied to soft cloths are preferred.
