How Do I Record a Stereo
Signal?
Recording a stereo signal is nearly identical to recording a
mono signal with the exception that you will need to use two
inputs and two tracks. The easiest way to record a stereo
signal is to link the source (inputs and/or tracks) and the
destination tracks. Use the following procedure to link
Tracks 3 and 4:
1. Press the Track 3 SELECT button.
2. Use [
], [
], [
"Link."
3. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select "ON."
4. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.
You can now use the Track 3 fader to control the volume
of Tracks 3 and 4.
How Do I Restore the Mixer
Parameters to the Factory Settings?
The VS-1824 gives you the ability to return all of your mixer
and system parameters back to their original factory settings.
This is convenient if you want to reset the mixer and system
settings to their original values without having to adjust each
parameter manually. This is also a good beginning for
troubleshooting when you are having difficulties that appear
to be mixer-related. Use the following procedure to initialize
the VS-1824 mixer and system parameters:
1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The "System
Menu" page should be displayed. If it is not, press
[F6 (EXIT)].
2. Press [PAGE] so that INIT appears in the display above
[F1].
3. Press [F1] and "Init Mix/Sys Prm Sure?" will be
displayed.
4. Press [ENTER/YES] and "Initializing...Please Wait" will
be displayed.
5. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the main Play
screen.
