PRECAUTIONS

LOCATION

Avoid

placing

the

YMC10

in

direct

sunlight

or

close

to

a

source

of

heat.

Also,

avoid

locations

in

which

it

is

likely

to

be

subjected

to

vibration,

excessive

dust,

cold

or

moisture.

HANDLING

Avoid

applying

excessive

force

to

the

switches,

dropping

or

rough

handling.

CLEANING

Use

only

a

dry

soft

cloth,

Never

use

solvents

(such

as

benzine

or

thinner)

since

they

can

melt

or

discolor

the

finish.

ELECTROMAGNET

FIELDS

Computer

circuitry

is

also

sensitive

to

electromagnetic

radiation.

Television

sets,

as

well

as

radio

receivers,

transmit-

ters

and

transceivers,

and

wireless

microphone

or

intercom

systems

are

all

potential

sources

of

such

radiation,

and

should

be

kept

at

least

several

feet

from

the

YMC10

to

avoid

possible

interference,

both

to

and

from

the

YMC10.

CONNECTION

.

Turn

off

all

power

before

connecting

the

ҮМС10

to

other

equipment,

and

disconnect

all

cables

before

moving

the

YMC10.

DO

NOT

ATTEMPT

TO

OPEN

THE

CASE

There

are

no

user-serviceable

parts

inside.

MIDI

CABLES

Use

cables

conforming

to

the

MIDI

standard.

Cables

are

limited

to

15

m.

If

you

use

a

longer

cable,

there

is

a

possi-

bility

of

the

waveform

degrading,

and

trouble

resulting.

POWER

SUPPLY

Тһе

YMC10

power

supply

must

be

DC

+12V.

Please

use

the

included

PA1

AC

adaptor.

If

you

use

other

АС

adaptors,

problems

may

result.

ВЕ

CAREFUL

OF

THE

АС

CORD.

To

avoid

shorting

or

breaking

the

cord,

when

you

unplug

the

AC

adaptor,

grasp

the

adaptor,

not

the

cord.

When

you

will

not

be

using

it

for

a

long

time,

it

is

a

good

idea

to

unplug

the

AC

adaptor.

|

€

The

AC

adaptor

will

differ

according

to

the

voltage

in

‚your

area.

Please

check

that

you

have

the

correct

one.

ELECTRICAL

STORMS

If

there

is

danger

of

an

electrical

storm

(lightening),

imme-

diately

unplug

the

AC

adaptor

from

the

wall

socket.

KEEP

THIS

OWNERS

MANUAL

For

future

reference,

keep

its

manual

in

a

safe

place

with

the

guarantee.

When

using

equip-

реа

RX

Digital

Rhythm

Programmer

or

ОХ

Digital

Sequence

Recorder,

the

YMC10

converts

MIDI

syn-

chronization

signals

into

an

FSK

tape

sync

signal.

This

tape

sync

signal

is

recorded

on

one

of

the

tracks

of

the

multi-track

recorder.

When

you

playback

the

tape,

the

YMC10

will

convert

this

tape

sync

signal

back

into

MIDI

data,

and

synchronize

the

MIDI

rhythm

machine

or

sequencer

with

the

performance

on

tape.

For

high

reliability,

the

tape

sync

uses

an

FSK

(Frequen-

cy

Shift

signal.

The

tempo

range

is

from
