These connectors are wired in parallel with the MAIN OUT and

OUTPUT to the inputs of your recording device. The output level

input is assigned to the main mix providing an additional input for
tape machines, MIDI instruments or other signal sources that do
not require any processing.
Press the CD/TAPE TO CTRL ROOM/PHONES switch if you
want to monitor the 2-track input via the CTRL ROOM OUT. This
provides an easy way to monitor signals coming back from tape
to ensure that they are recording correctly.

undesirable, but also renders your recording completely useless.
