MULTI DIAL control
Use this control to select tracks for playback, to set
parameter values, etc.
Typically, turning the control clockwise will increase
a value, and turning it counterclockwise will
decrease the value. There is no “end-stop” to the con-
trol—it may be turned continuously in either
direction.
In addition, when setting menu values, pushing the
control acts like an “enter” key, i.e. the currently-dis-
played value or setting is confirmed and the display
returns to the time display.

Use a standard pair of stereo headphones, equipped
with a 1/4-inch plug, with this jack.

(turn clockwise for higher volume).

the analog audio signals received at the
ANALOG IN

cause the other to turn, but they can be turned inde-
pendently of each other.

and the upper (inner) control to adjust the right
signal.
Turning the controls clockwise past the “
5
” position
will boost the signals relative to their input level, and
turning them counterclockwise to a position below
“
5
” will cut the signals relative to their original input
level.
