The Signal Display
Whenever you touch one of the Input selectors on the front, the
Signal display will pop up, and disappear after a few seconds. If
you don't want the display to go back automatically, you can set
the Auto Pages parameter in the Utility/Config display to OFF.
NOTE: This will also affect the Gain display.
Input
The Input box is controlled from the Input selector for each
channel on the front. It can be Mic, Line or Digital input. If it's
set to Digital, the Value wheel is used to select between the
different digital formats: AES/EBU, S/PDIF, TOS Link and
ADAT. You cannot select different digital formats for channels 1
and 2.
NOTE: The Input select overrides the Insert send/return, meaning
that the setting selected at the Input cannot be chosen at the
Insert return. Also note that the Insert option is only available
when both channels are either analog or digital. You will get the
message: INSERT OFF, if the insert is no longer possible, and
INSERT ON when it's possible again.
