1. AC adaptor connector [DC IN]
Connect the AC adaptor included in the
package.
When the AC adaptor is plugged into an
AC outlet, a very small current flows in the
unit even if you turn off (STANDBY) the
power switch. If you are not going to use
the X-12 for a long period of time, remove
the AC adaptor plugged into the AC.
5. Record track selector [REC TRACK]
The recording track can be selected.
Only one track can be selected at a time.
3. Line output jack [LINE OUT L, R]
This jack outputs a signal adjusted by the [LINE
OUT/PHONES] knob. Connect this jack to the
input jack of a master recorder for mixdown.
4. Record track select indicator
The recording track selected by the [REC TRACK]
selector will be indicated in red.
Be sure to use the included AC adaptor or
an equivalent model. Using an AC adaptor
with a different rated voltage or a different
plug polarity may cause a fire or damage
to the product.
The following figure indicates that the
output voltage of the AC adaptor is DC
(direct current) 12V (volt), that the plug
polarity is + (positive) in the center and -
(negative) outside. Be sure to use an AC
adaptor that complies with this indication.
