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.

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,
how-
ever,
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
"Out-
put"
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
familiar-
izing
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.
