Assigning Record Returns
Record returns are outputs of the record VTR machine after the results of
mixing have been recorded. These can be monitored for quality
assurance.
The REC Menu, in conjunction with the Multi-Function Keypad, is used to
select which inputs feed the record returns. Up to four record return input
pairs may be designated.
Note
The record returns are set at unity gain with no audio effects (audio delay,
equalization, dynamics, etc.). The output routing follows the inputs (input
pair 1 feeds monitor outputs 1 & 2, input pair 2 feeds monitor outputs 3 &
4, etc.).

Note in the menu above that Record Return 1 is highlighted; this indicates
that the select button for that pair is on and is in the process of assigning
inputs.
To assign record returns:
Select buttons 1-4 and the Multi-Function Keypad are used for assigning
inputs to record return channels. The keypad is used to assign inputs; its
buttons light up to indicate which inputs are available (which depends on
the input modules that are installed in the mixer).
