Preparations

1. Connections

Here are some examples of basic connections for recording
with the D1200. As necessary, substitute the equipment you
are using for the devices named here.
CDRW-1 connections
For details on installing the CDRW-1 CD-R/RW drive
option, refer to p.149.
You must make all connections with the power turned
off. Making connections with the power turned on may
damage your speaker system or cause malfunctions.
1-1. Output (audio output) connections
In order to hear the sounds recorded on the D1200, you will
need to connect it to a monitor speakers (speakers with an in-
ternal amp) or other audio equipment, or use headphones.
Connecting audio equipment for monitoring
• Use RCA phono cables to connect monitor speakers
to the [MONITOR OUT L/R] jacks.
• If you will use headphones for monitoring, connect
your headphones (with a phone plug) to the
[PHONES] jack. Use the [PHONES LEVEL] knob to
adjust the volume.
The audio signal that is output from the [MONITOR
OUT L/R] jacks and the [PHONES] jack can be selected
in the [INPUT/OUTPUT/SOLO] "Monitor" tab page.
