Use Switch 16 Channel Audio
This chapter introduces the user interface available to Switch 16 Channel Audio
users and common system tasks you can perform with the Switch 16 Channel
Audio from the front display.

When you power up the Switch 16 Channel Audio, the following System Status
screen appears momentarily.
The System Status screen is then replaced by the In to Out Assignments screen.
Once you make an assignment, the screen displays the assignment. For
example, Output 1 is mapped to Input 1.
