6) While playing the keyboard, adjust the recording
level using the [TRIM] controls on the [INPUT A]
and [INPUT B] sections.
The screen shows the input levels of tracks 5 and 6,
as well as the output levels of the stereo outputs (L
and R). Turning the [PHONES VOL] control clock-
wise raises the headphone monitor level.

Adjust each of the [TRIM] control properly so

put level is too high, the PEAK indicator lights
and the sound may be distorted or noisy.
