If the PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs are currently assigned to the controls of an Aux send
or a USER parameter, they'll be automatically switched back to the control of panning
or the currently selected channel's dynamics and EQ parameters, depending on the
setting of the AUX SEND•PRM EDIT button (Page 18).
8. Press 1-8 on the numeric keypad to select Aux 1-8, or press 9 to select USER.
9. To return the faders to normal operation, repeat Steps 1-5, selecting Knob in Step 5.

If the ENTER/YES Button is Blinking...

You may notice from time to time that the ENTER/YES indicator is blinking. When
you're about to execute a track-editing, project or disk operation, the indicator blinks to
signify that you can press the ENTER/YES button to proceed or press EXIT/NO to
cancel the operation. You'll also find the indicator blinking as you view various
parameter pages—this is the VS-2480 letting you know that it has more options for you
to see, and that you can view these options by pressing the ENTER/YES button.
