Press the [RECORD] key and set tracks 7 and 8 to the input monitor (RED: Flashing).
As in the earlier case, the monitor sound is output at this stage. Adjust the volume of the monitor sound with the [MON OUT] or [PHONES] knob.

Set the ch7&8 fader, ch9-16 fader and master fader to 0. Output the sound of the sound source to record and adjust the [TRIM] to an appropriate gain.
The guideline for optimal gain is when the [PEAK] LED is about to light when the sound source is turned up to the maximum volume.
12 Accordingly, equalize the signals of ch9-16 being recorded
and/or adjust the PAN according to the sound source.
Refer to the earlier section for instructions on adjusting the equalizer.
<Note>
If input signals are started for ch9-16 faders, the play sounds of the corresponding track can no longer be heard and you cannot go to the READY (REC) state.
Tips: Adjusting the PAN Setting of the Source Channel
It is possible to set the PAN according to the sound source of the source channel when recording to two tracks. Press the [PAN] key to switch to the PAN setting display. Select the channel to adjust the PAN setting with the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key. Then use the [JOG] dial to optionally set the PAN setting.
