Output Channels; Using The Talkover Function; Monitoring; Troubleshooting - Tascam MZ-123BT Owner's Manual

Output channels

Output signals are sent to the analog output connectors (h)
from the stereo bus.
Adjusting analog outputs
Use the line output VOLUME knobs (p) to adjust the output
levels so that the analog output PEAK indicators (i) do not
light.
NOTE
Mono signals will be output if MONO - STEREO (j) switches
are set to MONO.

Using the talkover function

The signal levels from the stereo bus can be automatically
attenuated when the sound levels of connected mics exceed the
level set by the TALKOVER THRESHOLD knob (;), making the
sound from the mics easier to hear.
This only attenuates the levels of output channels to which that
mic is assigned.
Examples
If MIC 2 OUTPUT SELECT switch 3 (3) is on while switch 1
and 2 are off, when MIC 2 exceeds the set level, the other
inputs to output channel 3 will be automatically attenuated
before the sound of MIC 2 is mixed in and output. Output
channels 1 and 2 will not be attenuated and the sound of MIC
2 will not be mixed into them.
1. Enable the talkover function for the desired mic input
channels by setting their TALKOVER switches (,) to ON.
2. Select the output channels that will be affected by the
talkover function by setting the mic input OUTPUT SELECT
switches (3).
3. Use the TALKOVER THRESHOLD knob (;) to set the input
sensitivity (threshold level) for the talkover function.
4. Use the TALKOVER TIME knob (z) to set the time until the
talkover function deactivates (release time).

Monitoring

Stereo headphones can be used to monitor the signals from the
output channels of this unit.
Turn on the monitoring switches on for output channels 1–3
(5) to enable monitoring of the signals output from the analog
output connectors (h).
1.
When the monitoring switches (5) for the output channels
to be monitored are pressed, their switch indicators (5) will
light.
2.
Use the PHONES VOLUME (s) knob to adjust the
monitoring output level.
NOTE
i When multiple monitoring switches (5) are on, a mix of
those signals can be monitored.
i Signals after the levels have been adjusted using the line
output VOLUME knobs (p) will be output.
i Mono signals will be output for output channels that have
their MONO - STEREO (j) switches set to MONO.

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble with the operation of this unit, please
try the following before seeking repair.
If these measures do not solve the problem, please contact
the store where you purchased this unit or TASCAM customer
support service.
The unit will not turn on.
p Confirm that the power plug and other connectors are
inserted completely.
Sound is not output from speakers
connected to the analog output jacks.
p Check the settings and volume of the connected amplifier.
p Are the line output VOLUME knobs (p) turned up?
p Confirm that the input sound source is connected properly.
The volume is low even when VOLUME knobs
are turned up.
p Are the line input GAIN (k) knobs set properly?
p Are the INPUT GAIN knobs (2) and mic input GAIN knobs
(c) set properly?
p Is the output volume of the audio device connected to the
AUX IN jack (y) raised?
p Is the output volume of the paired Bluetooth device raised?
The sound is distorted.
p Are the input channel GAIN knobs set too high?
Are the input source levels to high?
p Are the mic input GAIN knobs (c) set too high?
p Are the line output VOLUME knobs (p) set too high?
p Is the monitoring level too high, causing the monitoring
system to distort?
p Is the output volume of the audio device connected to the
AUX IN jack (y) set too high?
p Is the output volume of the paired Bluetooth device set too
high?
No sound is output from headphones.
p Use the monitoring switches (5) to select the outputs to
monitor.
