1-2 ALESIS M20 REFERENCE MANUAL 1.06
1.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Please retain the M20’s shipping carton, which is designed to protect the unit during
shipping, in the unlikely event that you need to return the M20 for servicing. Some carriers
have restrictions on shipping electronic equipment without the original packing.
The shipping carton contains:
§ M20 with the same serial number shown on shipping carton
§ Power Cable
§ Optical Cable
§ M20 LRC (remote control unit)
§ This instruction manual
§ Blank S-VHS ST-120 cassette
§ Alesis warranty card
In order to be advised of future updates, please register your purchase immediately by
filling out the warranty card and mailing it back to Alesis.
1.3 AC POWER HOOKUP
1 Make sure the M20 is turned off. It’s good practice not to turn on the M20 until all other
cables are hooked up.
2 Before plugging in to AC power, note that the M20’s IEC-spec AC cord (do not
substitute any other AC cord) must feed a 3-pin outlet, where the third, round pin
connects to ground. The ground connection is an important safety feature designed to
keep the chassis of electronic devices at ground potential. Unfortunately, the presence
of a third ground pin does not always indicate a properly grounded outlet; check this
with an AC line tester. If the outlet is not grounded, consult with a licensed electrician.
3 Plug the power cord’s female end into the M20’s power input socket, and the male
(plug) end into any AC power source from 90 to 250 volts, 50 or 60 Hz.
Your M20 includes the correct power cord for your country or local area. When using an
M20 abroad , use only the following alternative power cords approved for use with ADAT:
• For 90-120 VAC 50/60 Hz operation in the US, Canada and/or Japan, use Alesis
UL/CSA power cord #7-41-0001.
• For 240 VAC 50 Hz operation in England, use Alesis UK power cord #7-41-0004.
• For 220 VAC 50 Hz operation in Europe and Scandinavia, use Alesis EU power
cord #7-41-0002.
• For 240 VAC 50 Hz operation in Australia, use Alesis AS power cord #7-41-0003.
