This section explains how to select the desired monitor source, and monitor it from the PHONES
OUT jack or external monitor speakers.

Connect your monitor system to the rear
panel OMNI OUT jacks, 2TR OUT DIGITAL
jack, or an I/O card installed in a slot.
The monitor signal can be sent to any desired output
jack or output channel. If you’re monitoring through
headphones, make sure that your headphones are con-
nected to the front panel PHONES OUT jack.

In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the
[MONITOR] key repeatedly to access the
MONITOR screen.
In the MONITOR screen you can check the current
monitor settings, and turn monitoring on/off.
The screen contains the following items.

The Dimmer function which temporarily attenuates
the monitor signal can be switched on/off here. Use

tus of the Talkback Dimmer function which automati-

If you move the cursor to the port select box located
below the level meter and press the [ENTER] key, a
popup window will appear, allowing you to select the
port that will output the monitor signal.
