Tascam 122MKIII - Manual (Page 4)

Introduction Optional Accessories
This manual covers the 122 MKIII, 112R MKII, and 112
MKII.
Your new TASCAM deck is a professional rack-mount 4-
track, 2-channel recorder/reproducer designed to offer
outstanding audio performance and convenient features.
Speed in operation is, enhanced by CPS (Computomatic
Program Search) (112R MKII only), 2-point Autolocator,
and Retum-to-zero. Dolby* HX Pro is provided to improve
high frequency response. The bias is automatically set to its
optimum value for each tape in use (except for the 122
MKIII). With the 122 MKIII, a built-in oscillator (400 Hz
and 10 kHz) along with individual Bias and Level trimmers
can be used to maximize performance with any tapes. The
3-head design of 122 MKIII and 112R MKII produces real­
time, off-tape monitoring.
We suggest that you read this manual thoroughly
before using the machine. Even though a quick glance
will get you going, careful study will ensure that
misunderstanding won't slow you down.
