TASCAM  CD-VT2

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Using mics with the trainer

By connecting mics to this player, you can mix the input from 
the mics with the CD playback sound. You can also use the 
built-in mic effects for voice and instrument practice.

Adjusting the input level 

Use the 

INPUT

 volume control next to the 

MIC IN

 jacks to 

adjust the input level. 

NOTE

Use the 

LEVEL

 screen to adjust the signal levels from 

each MIC IN jack individually  after their sounds have 
been processed by the mic effects. (See “Singing or 
playing along with a CD” on this page.

)

Adjusting the monitoring volume 

Use the 

PHONES VOLUME (+, –)

 keys to adjust the head-

phones output volume. Follow the same procedure used when 
adjusting the playback volume of a CD. (See “Adjusting the 
volume” on page 25.) 

NOTE

When monitoring through the 

LINE OUT

 jack using an 

audio system or speakers with built-in amplifiers, adjust 
the volume on the external device. You cannot adjust the 
output level of this device’s 

LINE OUT

 jack. 

Singing or playing along with a CD

This device combines the signal input through the 

MIC IN 1 

and 

MIC IN 2

 jacks and the CD playback signal and outputs 

this mix to the 

PHONES

 and 

LINE OUT

 jacks. In other words, 

you can connect mics to the player and hear yourself sing or 
play along with a CD through the outputs. 
Use the following procedures to adjust the CD playback signal 
and input signal levels independently to achieve the mix 
balance that you desire. 

1 

Press the 

LEVEL

 key to open the 

LEVEL

 screen. 

Four knob icons appear. From left to right these adjust the 
input signal levels from the 

MIC IN 1

 and 

MIC IN 2

 jacks, the 

combined input level of both mics and the CD playback level. 
Use the two knobs on the left to adjust the balance between 
mic inputs 1 and 2. Use the two knobs on the right to adjust 
the balance between both mic inputs and the CD.

2   Use the 

CURSOR

 (

˙

, 

¥

) keys to select the knob that 

you want to adjust. The level value of the selected knob 
appears highlighted in a pop-up.
