ing, you can easily connect the unit using the MDR1248

to interface your processor:
1. Connect the AUX 2 OUTPUT to the input of the
external effect processor.
2. Connect the outputs of the effect processor to
the AUX 2 RETURN located on the MDR1248 and
MDR1688's master section.
3. Set the MAIN LEVEL control to the "0" position.
4. Raise the AUX 2 knobs for the channels to which you
want the external effect to be applied.
5. Set the input level of the external effect so that the
sound is not distorted and so that the effect's input
meter does not indicate a clipped signal.
6. Use the AUX RETURN 2 control to adjust the level of
the effects processed by the external effects device.
