GETTING STARTED
Here are some simple instructions on how you can quickly plug in and try out
your MF-103.
1. Unpack your MF-103. You can place it on a table or on the floor. We suggest
that you place it on a table while you become familiar with its features.
2. Check that the power adaptor has a nominal rating of +9 volts and is also
rated at your country's standard power voltage (120 volts A.C. for the United
States and Canada; 100 volts A.C. for Japan; and 220 volts A.C. for most other
countries). Plug the power adaptor's cord into the MF-103's '+9V' jack. Then plug
the power adaptor itself into a power voltage receptacle. (See Page 13 for
more detailed technical information on power adaptors for the MF-103).
3. Note that the BYPASS light is on. It will light up either red or green. Red
indicates that the MF-103's phaser circuit is off-line (bypassed), while green
indicates that the phaser circuit is on-line. Pressing the 'stomp switch' will toggle
the BYPASS light between red and green. For now, leave the BYPASS light on red.
Refer to Figure 1 for steps 4. and 5.
Figure 1. Basic connections: Instrument to AUDIO IN, monitor amp to AUDIO OUT, and power adaptor to +9V.
4. Connect an instrument cable from the AUDIO OUT jack to a line-level input
on your amp or mixer. Turn the volume control on your amp down but not off.
5. Connect an instrument cable from your signal source to the AUDIO IN jack.
You can feed virtually any instrument-level or line-level signal through your MF-
103. Examples are guitar, bass, keyboard, theremin, drum machine, or Effects
Send output on your mixer. Play your instrument (or turn on the signal source).
Adjust the volume control on your monitor amp so that the sound level is
comfortable.
