The channel whose channel level is adjusted lowest can be faded to –12 dB using the fader function.

If the channel levels are adjusted separately after adjusting the fader, the fader adjustment values are cleared, so adjust the fader again.

When EXT. IN is selected, the SW, SBL and SBR channel faders do not function.

This is only displayed when setting the fader control.
