Handle it with care.

REPAIRS OR MODIFICATION YOURSELF

YAMAHA personnel. Opening the case and/or tampering
with the internal circuitry will void the warranty.

necting cables. This is important to prevent damage to the
unit itself as well as other connected equipment.

YAMAHA PA100 AC Adaptor. The use of other adaptors
can cause serious damage to the MT100II.
8. KEEP THE HEADS AND TAPE PATH CLEAN

with cassette tape equipment.

TAPE
The MT100II is designed for use with CrO
lation tape, and will not provide proper performance with
any other type of tape. Always choose cassette tapes from
a reliable manufacturer.
