source has been selected (using a menu function)
when using the unit with other digital audio units in a
setup (see 2.4.1, “Word sync connections” for

A
DISPLAY key
Repeated presses of this key cycle through the differ-
ent time display modes. These modes differ, accord-
ing to whether the unit is playing back or recording a
disc.
B
MULTI DIAL control
Use this control to select tracks for playback, to set
parameter values, etc.
Typically, turning the control clockwise will increase
a value, and turning it counterclockwise will
decrease the value. There is no “end-stop” to the con-
trol—it may be turned continuously in either
direction.
In addition, when setting menu values, pushing the
control acts like an “enter” key, i.e. the currently-dis-
played value or setting is confirmed and the display
returns to the time display.
C
PHONES jack and LEVEL control
Use a standard pair of stereo headphones, equipped
with a 1/4-inch plug, with this jack.
Adjust the volume from the jack with the control
(turn clockwise for higher volume).
D
REC LEVEL controls
Use these concentric controls to adjust the level of
the analog audio signals received at the
ANALOG IN
jacks
M
. Typically, turning one of these controls will
cause the other to turn, but they can be turned inde-
pendently of each other.
Use the lower (outer) control to adjust the left signal,
and the upper (inner) control to adjust the right
signal.
Turning the controls clockwise past the “
5
” position
will boost the signals relative to their input level, and
turning them counterclockwise to a position below
“
5
” will cut the signals relative to their original input
level.

details.
