Mixing and outputting a multitrack
recording
When playing back the sound of a multitrack recording,
you can use the unit’s internal mixer to make a stereo mix
and then output that.
Adjust the playback sound of tracks 1–6 using mixer
channels 1–6. You can also adjust the overall level of the
mix.
You can output the stereo mix that you have mixed using
the internal mixer to the PHONE and DIGITAL/SYNC OUT
jacks.
In addition, if the

a stereo mix can be output from the LINE OUTPUTS jacks.
When set this way, the sound of the left (L) channel is
output through LINE OUTPUTS 1, 3 and 5 and the sound
