Outputs

We also need to set up the outputs properly for our needs.  We need to make sure Direct 
outs 1-8 are going to TDIF 1, Direct outs 9-16 are going to TDIF 2 and Buss 1-8 is going 
to TDIF 3.  While we're here we'll also assign the Stereo buss to  Digital Out 1.

With the SHIFT key indicator lit, press the 
I/O key followed by soft key #3.  Use the 
cursor keys to highlight the first Output 
Signal field.  Use the data dial to scroll to 
BUSS 1-8/DIRECT 1-8 and press 
ENTER.  Use the same technic to change 
the next field to BUSS 1-8/DIRECT 9-16.
The next field should be BUSS 1-
8/DIRECT 1-8.  Set the fourth field to 
STEREO.

Press the SHIFT key again so the indicator

     goes out.  Press the AUX 1-2 key.  Press
     the soft key below SOURCE.  Use the 
     cursor keys to highlight the SETUP 
     section of the display.  Turn the first
     POD knob to change setting to RETURN.
     Turn the second POD knob to change the
     setting to ALL.  Press ENTER.  A pop up
     screen will ask you to confirm by pressing
     ENTER again.  Do it.  You'll notice that the 
     first 16 channels are now labeled RETURN.

When recording on tracks 1-16 AUX 1-2 are used as the tape return path.  That being 
the case there are a few settings you will need to be aware of. This section will cover 
those settings. Tape returns for tracks 17-24 are different and will be discussed on 
another page.
