1
With the DPS16’s default settings, signals input at INPUT jacks 1 and 2 are sent via the [INPUT
TRIM] knobs to physical tracks 1 and 2 of the recorder section.
2
Press [RECORD SELECT] keys 1 and 2 on the top panel to cause tracks 1 and 2 to enter record-
ready status.
3
Output signals from tracks 1 and 2 are directed to TRACK MIX channels 1 and 2 of the mixer
section. At this time, the input source signals (the signals input to the tracks selected by the
[RECORD SELECT] keys) are output whether the transport section is stopped or recording.
4
You may adjust the level and pan setting of the TRACK MIX channels 1 and 2 signals using channel
faders 1 and 2 and [TRACK PAN] knobs 1 and 2 on the top panel.
5
Signals that have passed through the channel faders and the [TRACK PAN] knobs are mixed into a
stereo signal, then routed to the master section (Master bus L/R).
6
The signal adjusted by the [MASTER] fader for output level is output from the MASTER OUT jacks or
the DIGITAL OUT jack.
