TASCAM MP-VT1 3
Precautions for placement and use
The MP-VT1 may be used in most areas, but to maintain
top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the
following notes, precautions and environmental condi-
tions:
Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and
humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.
Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV
sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).
The nominal temperature should be between 0°C and
40°C (32°F and 104°F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 80 percent.
As the unit may become hot during operation, always
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation.
Do not install this unit in a confined space such as a
bookcase, and do not put anything on top of the unit.
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generat-
ing electrical device such as a power amplifier.
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position
for correct operation.
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the
voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any
doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

Thank you very much for purchasing the TASCAM
MP-VT1 MP3 Music & Voice Trainer. Please read this
Owner’s Manual carefully before using the unit in order
to maximize your use of all its features. We hope that
you will enjoy using this trainer for many years to come.
The MP-VT1 is a flash memory (1 GB) music player that
has been optimized for voice and instrument practice. If
you are trying to learn a part that is too difficult to catch
at ordinary playback speed, you can use this trainer to
slow the playback to a speed that makes learning the
notes easier.
Furthermore, the dedicated mic input allows you to use
the unit’s built-in effects as you sing or play an instru-
ment along with the music. Using a computer, you can
also transfer music as MP3s easily from audio CDs and
other sources to the MP-VT1.
Beware of condensation
If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place,
or used after a sudden temperature change, there
is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could
condense on the internal mechanism, making correct
operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs,
let the player sit for one or two hours at the new room
temperature before using.
