TD30 Cassette Tape Deck
Cassette Operation
1: Transport controls - A set of standard transport controls, from left to right: Record, Play, Rewind, Fast Forward,
Stop/Eject, Pause. Both the Record and Play buttons must be pressed in simultaneously to record .
2: Level meter - This five-segment bar meter shows the TD30 input level. Excursions into the red “+6 dB” segment
may indicate tape overloading and distortion.
3: Record level control - Active only when recording. For optimum signal-to-noise ratio, set this control so that pro-
gram material is usually at or around 0 VU on the Level meter (see #2 below).
4: Play level control - Sets the playback level.
When installed in an EX30,
the TD30 output signal arrives at mixer channels
3/4. See #6 on page 9 in this
manual for more information.
5: Pitch control - In normal operation, leave this at
the 12 o’clock position. When at the 12 o’clock posi-
tion, the tape is played back at standard speed and
pitch. When moved clockwise from the 12 o’clock
position, the tape is played back at a faster speed
(and higher pitch); when moved counterclockwise
from the 12 o’clock position, the tape is played back
at a slower speed (and lower pitch).

5 Feed the cassette cables under the top of the mixer through the Cassette Cable Channel (figure 3) and
make the following connections. (Be careful not to force the connections as all connectors are keyed
and should only fit one way.)
a) Connect the 6 pin cable from cassette to the 6 pin connector located in the lower right corner of
upper circuit board labeled CN501 (figure 3).
b) connect the 2 pin cable from cassette to the 2 pin connector located in the lower right corner of
upper circuit board labeled CN513 (figure 3) This cable should be shorter of the two 2 pin cables
c) connect the 2 pin cable from cassette to the 2 pin connector located in the lower right corner of
lower circuit board labeled CN207A. (figure 3).
6 While lowering the mixer into place reconnect the Switch Cable (removed in step 4, figure 2) to con-
nector CN206A located on the lower circuit board.
7 Lie the mixer in place making sure the cables are contained within the mixer cavity. Lie the cassette in
place (the lower cassette bracket should lie on top of the upper mixer bracket) making sure the cables
from the cassette pass through the Cassette Cable Channel.
8 Partially screw the two lower rear panel screws into place . Partially screw the Cassette Connection
Access Screws into place. Lift the handle revealing the upper cassette screw holes and screw the
three supplied screws into place. (figure 4). Tighten all the screws. See the following instructions for
cassette operation.
