1. [INPUT A] connectors

Both the [BAL] XLR and [UNBAL/GUITAR] phone connectors are provided. You can connect a gui- tar, microphone, keyboard, etc. According to the source connected, select the [INPUT A SELECT] switch appropriately.

To record a mono source, use only the [INPUT A] section. To record a stereo source, use both the [INPUT A] and [INPUT B] sections (see page 29).

<NOTE>

On each input section, the [UNBAL/GUITAR] phone connector takes priority to the [BAL] XLR connector. You cannot use both the [UNBAL/GUITAR] and [BAL] connectors on the same section simultaneously.

2. [INPUT B] connectors

Both the [BAL] XLR and [UNBAL] phone connec- tors are provided. You can connect a micro- phone, keyboard, etc.

This section is used only when recording a ste- reo source. When recording a mono source, this section is not used (see page 29).

<NOTE>

On each input section, the [UNBAL] phone connector takes priority to the [BAL] XLR con- nector. You cannot use both the [UNBAL] and [BAL] connectors on the same section simul- taneously.

3. [STEREO OUT] jacks (L, R)

These jacks output the stereo (L and R) buss sig- nals. Connect these jacks to a monitor equipment or master recorder (see page 26).
