User manual YAMAHA CBXD5E5

[. . . ] If you must use an extension cord, the minimum wire size for a 25' cord (or less ) is 18 AWG. NOTE: The smaller the AWG number, the larger the current handling capacity. For longer extension cords, consult a local electrician. This Product should be used only with the components supplied or; a cart, rack, or stand that is recommended by Yamaha. [. . . ] The MIDI connection carries real-time volume data, synchronization clock, playback speed data, and playback and recording start/stop signals. Four-channel system The CBX-D3 is a four-channel system, providing two channels of simultaneous recording and four channels of playback. Two channels can be recording while the other two are playing back. The CBX-D3 requires about 100 megabytes of free hard-disk space to record 10 minutes of stereo digital audio at a sampling frequency of 44. 1kHz. You can increase the available recording time by changing to a larger disk or adding more disks to the SCSI chain. CD quality & editing The CBX-D3 records audio data in 16-bit resolution. Recording quality at sampling frequencies of 44. 1 and 48kHz is at CD level, with true reproduction, low noise, and minimal distortion.

CBX-D5 applications require the use of separate "System Downloader" program. SCSI terminator must be correctly connected. MIDI cables carry system-exclusive messages. The MIDI and SCSI connections between the CBX-D3 and your computer can have a significant impact on how your application functions. Refer to your application software's manual for information about the appropriate connection configuration.

The headphones monitor all four audio channels simultaneously: channels 1 and 3 are heard in the left speaker, while channels 2 and 4 are heard in the right. 3 VOLUME Adjusts the headphone volume. 4 SCSI indicator Red/green LED indicator showing the current SCSI status. If cables are connected to both MIC and ANALOG IN, only the MIC (nominal ­60dBm) signals will be received. NOTE: Always set the INPUT LEVEL to minimum before inserting or removing a microphone or line input. 4 ANALOG OUT 1~4 Four 1/4-inch phone jacks that output audio data in analog form. These are unbalanced output jacks with a nominal output level of ­20dBm. You can connect these to a mixer, amplifier, tape recorder, or DAT recorder. If you connect a line to OUT1 only, the OUT1 jack will output audio signals for all four channels. If you connect to OUT1 and OUT2 only, then OUT1 will output channels 1 and 3, while OUT2 will output channels 2 and 4. RearRear panel panel9 9 5 MIDI OUT Outputs a synchronization clock and messages about various internal events. NOTE: Be sure to connect this to the MIDI IN terminal of your computer prior to recording or playback. 6 MIDI IN The CBX-D3 receives MIDI control data from the computer via this connection. To ensure that control data is not delayed by other MIDI devices, the CBX-D3 should be the first device connected to your computer. If your computer provides multiple MIDI outputs, you should dedicate one of these for exclusive use with the CBX-D3. NOTE: Be sure to connect the MIDI IN terminal to the MIDI OUT terminal of your computer prior to recording or playback. 7 DIGITAL OUT A RCA (phono) jack that outputs CD/DAT-format digital audio. Channels 1 and 3 are output as the "L" signal, while 2 and 4 are output as the "R" signal. This jack allows you to connect directly to the digital input of a DAT or DCC recorder, eliminating the need for multiple D/A and A/D conversions. NOTE: It is well known that the weakest links in a digital audio system are the A/D and D/A converters. Once converted to digital form, the audio signal becomes immune to distortions, noises, and other problems generally introduced by analog equipment. Although the effect of multiple conversions is rather subtle, it is nevertheless good practice to reduce the number of conversions and transfer the data in digital form wherever possible. 8 SCSI ID selector A thumbwheel switch used to set the SCSI ID for the CBX-D3. [. . . ] Make sure a sound file exists on the hard disk. Check that the hard disk's access indicator lights up when you try to play a song file. Make sure that recording and playback volumes are set correctly. Confirm that your hard disk is a SCSI device, and be sure that it is connected to the same SCSI bus as the CBX-D3. [. . . ]
