Introduction

1-3. Connections when using external recording devices

Here are the connections for recording your song onto an external device (DAT, MD, tape recorder, etc.).

•Optical digital (S/P DIF) input jack of a DAT or MD ↔ [S/P DIF OUT] of the D1200 (use an optical digital cable for connections)

•AUX IN jacks of a cassette tape recorder or other ana- log recording device ↔ [MASTER OUT L/R] jacks of the D1200

2. Turning the power on/off

2-1. Connecting the power supply

1Connect the included AC/DC power.

Connect the included power cable to the AC/DC power supply.

2Plug the power cable from the AC/DC power supply into an AC outlet.

1-4. Connections when using an external effect

If you apply an external effect to the signal that is sent from the [AUX OUT] jack, connect the return from the effect unit to the [INPUT 1]–[INPUT 4] jacks.

You can select whether the effect will be returned to the mixer channels in the same way as for conventional in- puts, or sent directly to the master bus. (→ p.45)

1-5. Pedal connections

Using a pedal switch to perform manual punch recording or play/stop operations

Connect a pedal switch (separately sold option: PS-1) to the [FOOT SWITCH] jack.

Using a foot pedal to control an effect

Connect an expression pedal (separately sold option: EXP-2, XVP-10) to the [EXPRESSION PEDAL] jack.

A volume pedal will not function correctly even if con- nected.

1-6. MIDI connections

nector (use a USB cable for connections) (→ p.77)

2-2. Turning the power on

Follow this procedure to turn on the power of the D1200 and each connected device.

Before you turn on the power, be sure to set the volume of each device to the minimum position, and turn on the power switches starting with the “upstream” devices that output the audio signal.

1Lower the D1200’s [MASTER] fader to –∞ .

Lower the volume on external devices to the minimum position.

2Turn on the power of external input devices, such as a keyboard that sends an audio signal to the D1200.

3Press the [POWER] switch of the D1200 to turn on the power.

The display will show the opening message. Then the [SONG] “SelSong” tab page will appear.

The song number that had been selected when you turned off the power will be selected.

4Turn on the power of external output devices such as the monitor system to which the audio from the D1200 is being sent.

2-3. Turning the power off

Turn off the power when you are finished all operations such as song playback and recording. Use the following procedure to turn off the power of the D1200 and of each connected device.

Never disconnect the AC/DC power supply until the power has been turned completely off. Doing so may cause data to be lost.

When turning the power off, set the volume of all devices to the minimum position, and turn off the power switches starting with the “downstream” devices to which the audio signal is being sent.

Audio that you record on the D1200 and mixer settings etc. that you make are saved automatically when you select or change songs, or when you turn off the power.

However, effect settings you edit outside of Modeling mode will be lost if you turn off the power without saving them.

1If you want to keep the effect settings you edited out- side of Modeling mode, save them (→ p.43).

2Lower the [MASTER] fader of the D1200 to –∞ . Set the volume of externally connected device to the minimum position.
