MT8XII—Owner’s Manual
The First Session
This chapter explains how to record and mix your first MT8XII session. If this is your first time 
with a multitrack recorder, we recommend that you start with this chapter and follow all the 
procedures closely. When you’ve completed this chapter, have a look at subsequent chapters, 
which explain more advanced MT8XII functions and require a basic knowledge of the MT8XII 
and multitrack recording techniques.
Connecting the Power Cord
1. Connect the supplied power cord to the AC IN socket on the rear of the 
MT8XII.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a suitable AC wall outlet.
Turning On the MT8XII
1. Press the POWER switch at the rear of the MT8XII. The display lights up.
To turn off the MT8XII, press the POWER switch again.
Loading a Tape
Before loading a tape, make sure the tape is not slack inside the cassette.
1. Open the cassette compartment cover.
2. Load the cassette firmly into the compartment with the tape opening facing 
forward and the A side facing up. Make sure that it is seated correctly.
The TAPE indicator appears on the display.
3. Close the cassette compartment cover.
If it’s a new tape, fast forward and rewind it once to prevent binding, which may occur due to 
the tape being tightly wound during manufacturing. 
4. Press the [PLAY] button to start playback, and stop after about 20 seconds.
It’s best not to use the first and last 20 seconds of a tape, as the splice between the leader and 
tape can cause distortion.
5. Press the [RESET] button to reset the tape counter to 00:00.
The MT8XII is now ready for recording.
