About the OL indicators and meters

The audio levels of this unit can be checked using
the OL indicators in the input section and the meters
on the Home Screen.
The meters allow the signal levels to be checked,
and they can also be used to confirm whether signals
are being input into the unit. For example, if the
input meters are moving a signal is being input into
the unit even if you cannot hear anything when you
are monitoring.
