6)While playing the keyboard, adjust the recording level using the [TRIM] controls on the [INPUT A] and [INPUT B] sections.

The screen shows the input levels of tracks 5 and 6, as well as the output levels of the stereo outputs (L and R). Turning the [PHONES VOL] control clock- wise raises the headphone monitor level.

<Note>

Adjust each of the [TRIM] control properly so that the PEAK indicator does not light at the loudest part of the keyboard sound. If the in- put level is too high, the PEAK indicator lights and the sound may be distorted or noisy.
