MTX5-D Owner’s Manual21
GPI (General Purpose Interface) devices can be connected to 
the rear-panel [GPI] connectors.  GPI allows a variety of control 
signals to be exchanged with  external controllers or other 
devices.
The MTX5-D provides 16 input ports and 8 output ports.
• The +5VDC terminals have an output voltage of 5V. The maximum current draw is 100 mA total for the two termi-
nals. If you are using a switch/va riable resistor and an LED/
relay simultaneously, connect  one terminal to the switch/
variable resistor and the other terminal to the LED/relay.
• The [IN]-1–15 terminals detect  voltage changes from 0V to 
5V. The [IN]-16 terminal alone supports +24V input; volt-
ages in the range of 2.5–24V ar e detected as High, and volt-
ages below 2.5V are detected as Low.
• The [OUT]-1–8 terminals are open collector outputs; they  will change between open or  closed (Ground). The maxi-
mum voltage that can be a pplied is +12V. The maximum 
current draw is 75 mA per port.
The GPI controller parameters  are assigned via the MTX-MRX 
Editor application.
Euroblock plugs (16-pin) are used  for connections to the [GPI] 
connector. For details, refer to  “Euroblock plug connection” on 
page 13.

NOTE
By making input/output channel settings in MTX-MRX Editor, 
you can recall presets or edit parameters on an external GPI 
device or send signals to it. For details, refer to the “MTX-MRX 
Editor User Guide.”

							Various Procedures
MTX5-D Owner’s Manual22
The MTX5-D can use commercially available SD memory 
cards to play back audio files such as music and sound effects 
without needing to connect a CD player or other audio device. 
The MTX5-D can play back audio files in either MP3 or WAV 
formats.
Here we explain how to handle SD  memory cards. In order to 
play back audio files saved on an SD memory card, you must 
make settings in MTX-MRX Editor. For details, refer to “MTX-
MRX Editor User Guide.”
Inserting an SD memory card
1. Use a 2.5 mm hex key to open the cover of  the SD memory card slot.
2. With the terminals of the SD memory card  facing downward, insert the card straight 
into the slot until it clicks into place.
When the SD memory card has been correctly recog-
nized, the [SD/ACT] indicato r (page 9) will light. The 
[SD/ACT] indicator will flas h while the card is being 
accessed.
Removing the SD memory card
1. Gently press the SD memory card inward.
The card will pop out slightly;  gently pull it completely 
out. Here’s how to initialize the MTX5-D’s internal memory, restor-
ing it to the factory settings.
1. Power-off the MTX5-D.
2. Set the rear panel DIP switches 7 and 8 to the 
“INIT. (INITIALIZE)” position.
3. Power-on the MTX5-D.
Initialization will start.
The status of execution is shown by the front panel [ALERT] 
indicator, the [PRIMARY] th rough [SYNC] indicators, and 
the [YDIF] through [SD/ACT] indicators.
•During initialization:
All indicators other th an [ALERT] will flash.
• Initialization completed:
Only the green indi cators will flash.
• Initialization failed:
The [ALERT] indica tor will flash.
Using the MTX5-D to  play audio files 
saved on an SD memory card
NOTE
Use an SD format or SDHC format memory card (SDXC format 
is not supported). However, depending on the manufacturer or 
type of memory card, some memory cards might not work cor-
rectly with the MTX5-D.
NOTE
To prevent theft of the SD memory card, we recommend 
that you leave the cover installed during use.
Initializing the MTX5-D
CAUTION
Do not turn off the power to the MTX5-D during initial-
ization. Otherwise, a malfunction may occur.
