Controls and their functions
<Front Panel Center Section>
Level meter
This displays the levels of the PCM audio signals for CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4 (or for
CH5, CH6, CH7 and CH8) and CUE track signals.
During recording and E-E selection, it displays the levels of the audio input signals; during
playback, it displays the levels of the audio output signals.
Audio input/output level controls
These controls are used to adjust the recording and playback levels of the PCM audio
signals (CH1/CH2/CH3/CH4/CH5/CH6/CH7/CH8) and the CUE track signal.
The upper controls are for adjusting the recording levels.
The lower controls are for adjusting the playback levels.
Each control is a "pull for variable" control, meaning that the level can be adjusted only
when the control has been pulled up. The signal levels are set to the unity value (preset
value) when the controls have been pushed down.
Furthermore, when the channels have been switched between CH1-4 and CH5-8 using
the AUDIO CH SELECT button
are next operated.
Headphones jack
The sound being recorded, played back or edited can be monitored on stereo headphones
when they are connected to this jack.
Volume control
This is used to adjust the headphones volume and the monitor output volume.
Whether the headphones output and monitor output volumes are to be linked or kept
separate can be set on the setup menu No. 713 (MONI OUT). (Note that the headphones
output volume is normally linked.)
When the volumes are kept separate, the monitor output is set to the unity value (preset
value).
MONITOR SELECT switches
These are used to select the audio signals output to the monitor L/R channels.
Each time the "L" button is pressed, the signals output to the monitor L channel are
selected in turn in the following order: CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5, CH6, CH7, CH8, CUE
and back to CH1.
[However, this switching is disabled when the channel except OFF has been selected for
setup menu No. 734 (MONITOR MIX L).]
Each time the "R" button is pressed, the signals output to the monitor R channel are
selected in turn in the following order: CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5, CH6, CH7, CH8, CUE
and back to CH1.
[However, this switching is disabled when the channel except OFF has been selected for
setup menu No. 735 (MONITOR MIX R).]
The L or R lamp on the level meter display lights to indicate which signal is now being
selected. (When the unit is set to "AUTO" in No. 745 (MONI CH SEL) on the setup menu,
then the display will change according to the monitor output.)
The lamp flashes if the channels selected by AUDIO CH SELECT do not appear on the
display screen.
METER (FULL/FINE) selector switch
This is used to change the scale display (graduations) of the audio level meters.
FULL mode: Standard scale (from –¶ to 0 dB)
FINE mode: The scale changes every 0.5 dB.
