Yamaha MT400 Owner's Manual - Page 15

14 Turning On the MT400 1. Make sure that the plug of the supplied AC adapter is securely connected to the DC12V jack on the rear of the MT400. 2. Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a suitable AC outlet. 3. Press the POWER switch on the rear panel of the MT400. The POWER indicator in the meter section lights up. Loading a Cassette Tape Before loading a cassette tape, make sure the tape is not slack inside the cassette. Also, make sure the write- protect tabs are not broken. If they are broken, you cannot record on the tape. 1. Open the cassette compartment cover. 2. Load the cassette into the compartment with the A side facing up. 3. Close the cassette compartment cover. If it is a new tape, fast forward and rewind it once to prevent binding, which may occur due to the tape being tightly wound during manufacturing. 4. Press the [PLAY] button to start playback, and stop after about 20 seconds. It is best not to use the first and last 20 seconds of a tape, as the splice between the leader and tape can cause distortion. Recording the First Track The MT400 allows signals input at MIC/LINE INPUT 1-4 to be directly recorded on Tracks 1-4 respectively (this is called "direct recording"). Connecting a sound source to MIC/LINE INPUT 1 will automatically select Track 1 for recording, and connecting another sound source to MIC/LINE INPUT 3 will automatically select Track 3 for recording. This is convenient for recording one sound source at a time. This section explains how to record the first sound source in Track 1.
