]Headphones jack
The sound being recorded, played back or edited can be monitored on stereo headphones when they are connected to this jack.
^Volume control
This is used to adjust the headphones volume and the monitor output volume.
Whether the headphones output and monitor output volumes are to be linked or kept separate can be set on the setup menu No. 713 (MONI OUT). (Note that the headphones output volume is normally linked.)
When the volumes are kept separate, the monitor output is set to the unity value (preset value).
_MONITOR SELECT switches
These are used to select the audio signals output to the monitor L/R channels.
Each time the “L” button is pressed, the signals output to the monitor L channel are selected in turn in the following order: CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5, CH6, CH7, CH8, CUE
and back to CH1.
[However, this switching is disabled when the channel except OFF has been selected for setup menu No. 734 (MONITOR MIX L).]
Each time the “R” button is pressed, the signals output to the monitor R channel are selected in turn in the following order: CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5, CH6, CH7, CH8, CUE and back to CH1.
[However, this switching is disabled when the channel except OFF has been selected for setup menu No. 735 (MONITOR MIX R).]
The L or R lamp on the level metre display lights to indicate which signal is now being selected. (When the unit is set to “AUTO” in No. 745 (MONI CH SEL) on the setup menu, then the display will change according to the monitor output.)
The lamp flashes if the channels selected by AUDIO CH SELECT do not appear on the display screen.
