When tracks (A, B, C, or D) are assigned to headphones, audio assigned to the tracks appear in headphones during recording whereas the recorded track audio appear in headphones during playback.

To set the available headphone source options for headphone monitoring enter the HP:Monitor modes menu. Once you enter the Monitor Modes menu you will immediately be in slot-1. Rotate the Multi-Function Controller to select the source you wish to appear first in your Headphone monitor list. Once the chosen source appears, press the Multi-Function Controller or the soft key ENTER (tone) key to move to the next slot. Continue down the list to select the source for each slot in the list. Once all sources have been chosen, press (done). This will exit the headphone monitor mode setup. You can exit the selection process by pressing the stop or cancel (backlight) key at any time.

If you press (done) in the first headphon slot, the 744T will select a single option (Tracks A, B) for headphone monitoring. The 10 factory presets will be erased.

Multi-Function Controller Behavior

The action of the Multi-Function Controller during recording and playback is set from among the four available options:

•Disabled: pushing the controller has no effect.

•Selects Favorite Mode: places the headphone source into the mode selected in the HP Favorite menu.

•Headphones to C/D meters: shows the level of the headphone output on the C/D track me- ters.

•Playback/Monitor Drive Select: pushing the controller toggles between the available media to select the drive available for playback and track monitor while recording.

Headphone Favorite Selection

If “Selects Favorite Mode” (above) is selected, a press of the Multi-Function Controller selects the assigned “Headphone Favorite” audio source. This feature is helpful to quickly return to a selected headphone monitoring source while recording or playing. All possible headphone sources are available to choose as the Headphone Favorite. The Headphone Favorite is selected in setup menu #60.

Headphone Playback Mode

The user may select a headphone source that will automatically be selected by the 744T upon play- back. All headphone source selections are available for Headphone Playback Mode, as well as “No Change”, which leaves the headphone source set to the currently selected mode. Headphone Playback Mode is controlled in setup menu #61.

Warning Tones

The 744T can generate an audible beep, or warning “bell”, in the headphones when an error has oc- curred. The specific error will be reported on the LCD. The output level of the warning bell is menu- selectable from off to 0 dBFS in setup menu #62.
