BEFORE OPERATION n PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS: ABOUT CASSETTE TAPE This unit is designed to be used only with Chromeposition tape, and will not work properly with Ferrichrome tape formulations. CrO2 tape (Bias: HIGH; EQ: 70µs) should be used. Also, the use of C-120 tapes is not recommended because they exhibit poorer performance, and can be the cause of equipment failure. ABOUT dbx In order to get proper sound reproduction, set the dbx switch ON when playing back tapes recorded with dbx on, and keep it OFF when playing back tapes recorded without dbx. *dbx and the dbx mark are trademarks of dbx in- corporated. *The dbx system has been manufactured under license of dbx Incorporated. CHECK YOUR AC POWER SUPPLY Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the bottom panel of the MT2X - check this BEFORE plugging in and turning on your MT2X! For General models equipped with a voltage selector, make sure the voltage selector is set to match your local line voltage. The rated supply voltage for U.S. and Canadian models is 120 VAC. The General model is rated for use with 110/120/220/240 VAC supplies (the bottompanel voltage selector is factory preset to 220 volts). PRECAUTION AGAINST LIGHTNING In the event of lightning or electrical storms, unplug the AC power cord as soon as possible to avoid potential damage. DO NOT OPEN THE CABINET To avoid electrical shock or damage to the unit, do not open the cabinet and tamper with the parts or circuits inside. CONNECTING OTHER EQUIPMENT Make sure the power switch is OFF and the input fader is all the way down when connecting other equipment. MOVING THE UNIT To prevent shorts or breakage, make sure all connection cords have been removed from the unit before moving it. CLEANING THE CABINET Do not clean the unit with benzene or other powerful solvents, and avoid the use of aerosol insecticides near the unit. Clean the unit only with a soft, dry cloth. FCC CERTIFICATION (USA) This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient the receiving antenna. Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver. Move the computer away from the receiver. Plug the computer into a different outlet so that computer and receiver are on different branch circuits. If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: "How to identify and Resolve Radio-TV interference problems". This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4. 2
