This manual introduces the use of the YAMAHA MT2X Multitrack Cassette Recorder, including precautions before operation, the recorder's components and functions, connection examples, and recording methods.
The Yamaha MT2X is a complete multitrack recording package that integrates a high-performance six-channel mixer with a dual-speed 4-track cassette recorder. It supports MIDI tape synchronization via an optional YMC2 converter and functions as a standalone musical instrument.
Before operation, users must select the appropriate Chrome-position tapes (specifically CrO2) and ensure the AC power supply voltage matches the unit's rating. The manual details the difference between tracks and channels, explains mixer section controls including gain, equalizers, and input faders, and describes recorder functions such as sync-recording.
