Track Arming

The 788T will only record armed tracks. Armed tracks are tracks that are record enabled and have ac-
tive inputs routed to them. These are indicated by the blue Track Arm LEDs on the 788T front panel.
Track Enabling is controlled in the Track Setup Menu. At least one track has to be enabled in order
for the 788T to begin recording. Additionally, at least one active input has be assigned to a record
enabled track in order for the track to be recorded. To enable a track for recording perform the fol-
lowing steps.
1. Enter the Track Setup Menu by pressing the INPUT key.
