Set-Up Instructions; Connect Power Transformer; Power On - Sequential Max Operation Manual

Preface
This manual begins with the procedures needed to set-up, play, and create songs with
MAX. For quick scanning, control names are in bold and instructions are printed all in
capitals. Explanatory information is indented under the instructions.
General remarks on the functional design of the MAX follow the instructions (see page
21).
NOTE: For all interfacing and programming information (including Computer Load), see
the MAX MIDIGUIDE (MG620).
SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Switch power off to all equipment in use before connecting or disconnecting
anything.
NOTE: See figure on page 5.
1. CONNECT THE AUDIO OUTPUT.
CAUTION! If you are using an external amplifier, switch the amplifier power off.
NOTE: For best fidelity, the amplifier and speakers must have a full frequency range
and adequate power ratings.
The MAX has a monaural (mono) audio output available from three jacks on the
back panel.
The Main/Headphone jack drives a standard mono phone cable used to connect
most instrument amplifiers. But you can plug stereo headphones into the
Main/Headphone jack. Since this jack is a tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) type, it drives
both sides of the headphones.
The A and B "RCA/phono" jacks accept a standard dual cable for driving the L
and R "auxiliary'1 or "monitor" inputs of a component-type stereo amplifier.
2. CONNECT POWER TRANSFORMER.
Connect the transformer cable to the Power In jack on the MAX.
Check that the MAX Power switch is off.
Plug the transformer into a power outlet of the correct voltage. (The
transformer requires no grounding.)
3. SWITCH POWER ON.
Switch the MAX Power switch to On.
Switch amplifier power on (if used).
(Later, when you are done playing, to prevent a "pop" switch off amplifier power first,
then switch off the MAX.)
