NOTE
You can assign a source to more than one channel. How-
ever, a channel cannot accept more than one source at a
time. If a source has been assigned to more than one
channel, the destination channels must be deselected indi-
vidually (push and hold the SOURCE key and then the
SELECT keys of the channels).
If you assign a stereo source (either AUX INPUT or
STEREO), and press the SELECT key of one channel of
a stereo linked pair (or the SELECT key of channels 7/8),
the stereo source is linked to both channels of the pair.
If you are assigning INPUTs to channels 7 and 8, note that
INPUTs A and C can only be assigned to channel 7, and
INPUTs B and D can only be assigned to channel 8.
If you assign a stereo source (either AUX INPUT or
STEREO) to an unlinked mono channel, the stereo link
will automatically be created.
If you assign a mono source to a stereo linked pair (or
channels 7/8), the signal is split between the two channels.
TIP
You can also perform this operation by pressing and hold-
ing the mixer channel SELECT key and pressing the
SOURCE key of the source.
NOTE
If the source has been assigned to two linked channels
(including channels 7-8), pressing the SELECT key of one
of the channels will unassign the pair of channels. If the
stereo link was automatically created when a stereo source
was assigned, the channels will not be automatically
unlinked.
TIP
You can also perform this operation by pressing and hold-
ing the mixer channel SELECT key and pressing the
SOURCE key of the source.
