headphone plug inserts into this jack, but the output to the Fixed – Rec jacks remains live.
Bass and Treble Knobs
These control tone. Maximum boost and cut is 10dB for each control. At their center mid-point
you will feel a click-stop. At this point there is no cut or boost and frequency response is flat.
Input Knob
The input knob selects input sources. Audio and Video inputs are selected together.
Balance Knob
This adjusts the relative volume of the left and right channels. In its center position the channel
