With the SHIFT key indicator lit, press the 
I/O key.  Then press the soft key under 
ASSIGN SECT.  The 4 assignable I/Os 
can be used as inserts or sends and returns.  
Using the cursor keys assign 1 and 2 as 
SEND/RETURN.  This is under the 
MODE column.    Under the CH SEND 
column make 1 AUX3 and 2 AUX4.

Press the MASTER LAYER STATUS key.
The faders will jump to show master buss
and aux send levels.  Locate the AUX 3 
and 4 master faders and bring them to a
unity gain setting.  In other words, push
the faders to the "0" level on the console.
Now with SHIFT off press the AUX 3-4 
key and set your send levels as needed. 

We are now ready to make the proper settings for mix down.  First we must make 
channels 1-16 Tape Return channels.

With the SHIFT indicator lit, press the I/O 
key followed by soft key #1.  Use the 
cursor keys to highlight the virtual patch 
cable on CH 1.  Use the data dial to 
change it from Mic/Line to TDIF.  Use 
this same technic to change channels 2-16 
to TDIF as well.
