[E1] AUDIO IN
this is off, the signal is not input .
If this is on, you can make input settings individually for
the INPUT 1 (L ch) side and the INPUT 2 (R ch) side . If this
[E2] PARALLEL SW
is off, only the INPUT 1 (L ch) side is shown, and the same
settings are applied to both INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 . Turn
this off if you connect a stereo device .
Specifies the input gain . Each time you touch this, it
alternates between "LINE" and "MIC . " Select "LINE" is a
<LINE>/<MIC> line-level audio device is connected, or select "MIC" is a
mic is connected . This can be set individually for INPUT 1
and INPUT 2 .
