This section describes practical operations of the mixer including functions that are not described in "Basic op-
erations" as well as detailed information about settings.
Initial condition when the power is turned on

] key, [

Operations while the Normal display is shown
Fader
The fader for each channel (1 through 16) controls
the level of TRACK or INPUT signal fed to the stereo
output or the Rec busses.
The master fader controls the total level of the stereo
output busses.

unlit. Pressing the key again releases muting and lights
the key.

CH
STATUS/CH SEL
] key for the master channel mutes the
stereo output signals. The [

the master channel is unlit.
Pressing the key again releases muting and lights the
