Connect it to the MIDI OUT connector of
the external MIDI device.
OUT/THRU: This connector can be used either as a
MIDI OUT or as a MIDI THRU connector.
With the factory settings, it will function
as a MIDI OUT connector.
5. DIGITAL (5,6) connectors (IN, OUT)
These are coaxial-type digital I/O connectors (comforms to
S/P DIF).
IN: This inputs a digital audio signal (stereo).
OUT: This outputs a digital audio signal (stereo). The
sound is the same as that of the MASTER OUT
jacks.
* To record a digital audio signal, it is not sufficient to sim-
ply connect a digital audio device to the DIGITAL IN con-
nector. When inputting a digital audio signal, refer to
ÒDigital recordingÓ (p.72).
* The DIGITAL connector is not able to input or output
analog audio signals.
6. FOOT SWITCH jack
An optional foot switch can be connected here to control
recorder operations, mark point settings, and punch in/out
operations etc. by foot switch. With the factory settings, a
foot switch will start/stop the recorder. To change this
function, refer to ÒUsing a footswitch to playback/stopÓ
(p.110).
7. PHONES jack
An optional set of headphones can be connected here. The
PHONES jack outputs the same sound as the MASTER

8. INPUT B jacks (1–4)
9. INPUT A jacks (1–4)
These are input jacks for analog audio signals. INPUT A are
1/4Ó phone jacks, and INPUT B are RCA phono jacks. You
may use either type of jack. If cables are connected to both
types, the INPUT A jacks will take priority. Use the INPUT
SENS knob to adjust the input sensitivity of each input.
10.AUX SEND jacks (A,B)
11.MASTER OUT jacks (L,R)
These are output jacks for analog audio signals (RCA phono
type).
With the factory settings, all signals will be output from the
MASTER OUT jacks, and there will be no output from the
AUX SEND jacks. The output will be determined by the set-
tings of the mixerÕs master section and the settings of each
channel.
The AUX SEND jacks can also be used as send jacks for con-
necting external effect units (p.127).
