Introduction
Optional Accessories
This manual covers the 122 MKIII, 112R MKII, and 112
MKII.
Your new TASCAM deck is a professional rack-mount 4track, 2-channel recorder/reproducer designed to offer
outstanding audio performance and convenient features.
Speed in operation is, enhanced by CPS (Computomatic
Program Search) (112R MKII only), 2-point Autolocator,
and Retum-to-zero. Dolby* HX Pro is provided to improve
high frequency response. The bias is automatically set to its
optimum value for each tape in use (except for the 122
MKIII). With the 122 MKIII, a built-in oscillator (400 Hz
and 10 kHz) along with individual Bias and Level trimmers
can be used to maximize performance with any tapes. The
3-head design of 122 MKIII and 112R MKII produces real
time, off-tape monitoring.
We suggest that you read this manual thoroughly
before using the machine. Even though a quick glance
will get you going, careful study will ensure that
misunderstanding won't slow you down.

1. POWER : Switches power on to the unit.
NOTE
Each time you turn on the deck, the last on/off status
of the ADJUST switch (122 MKIII only) and Auto
Reverse (CID / ZZD ) switch (112R MKII only) and
the last play/record direction as set with the
DIRECTION switch (112R MKII only) are retrieved from
a backup memory.
2. EJECT : Opens the cassette compartment.
3. PITCH CONT : Provides about a plus or minus 12 %
variation to the tape speed in both Play and Record modes.
Unless you use the function intentionally, make sure that
the knob is at its OFF position for the tape to roll at
normal speed (1-7/8 i.p.s. or 4.8 cm/sec.).
4. REW : Winds the tape at high speed in reverse. If
pressed during Play Pause, enables reverse cueing.
5. F.FWD : Winds the tape at high speed in the forward
direction. If pressed during Play Pause, enables the forward
6. STOP : Stops all tape motion.
122 MKIII and 112R MKII ; The tape counter is not a
clock. Its reading depends on the tape length, relative
tape packs on both reels and other mechanical
factors. Use a watch to measure the correct length of
particular program.

11. INPUTS, L and R : Allow individual control of both
channel levels.
7. PLAY : Starts playback. If pressed together with
RECORD, starts recording. If pressed during Record Pause,
resumes recording.
8. PAUSE : Temporarily stops play or recording ; to
resume the function interrupted, press PLAY. If pressed
together with RECORD, activates Record Ready mode,
allowing you to start recording by pressing PLAY only.
9. RECORD : Starts recording when pressed together with
PLAY.
10. Tape Counter : Displays the distance from a zero
reference point, selected by pressing RESET (-99 M 59 S
to 99 M 59 S with the 122 MKIII and 112R MKII; or 00
00 to 99 99 with the 112 MKII).
A type of tape in use (NORMAL, Cr02 or METAL) is
indicated on the right hand side of the tape counter, and the
monitor source too—"INPUT" lights unless tape signal is
feeding the front PHONES and rear OUTPUT.
122 MKIII : Both controls are geared together to allow
simultaneous adjustment of the record level of both
channels. Each channel can be adjusted independently by
holding one knob and turning the other.
12. VU meters : indicate input or tape signal levels
depending on the transport mode and the MONITOR switch
setting.
13. MONITOR : Setting to INPUT routes the input
signal to the PHONES and OUTPUT Jacks, whatever the
transport mode. If set to AUTO, the input signal can be
monitored in Record Pause (Ready) mode, and the tape
signal while recording (off-tape monitoring) or playing.
The VU meters also switch the same way.
The 112 MKII does not provide off-tape monitoring ; you'll
hear the input signal instead while recording is taking place.
14. OUTPUT : Adjusts the signal level sent to the
OUTPUT Jacks on the rear panel.
