Assigning to a stereo bus To use an external effect device, assign the inputs (A to H) that are connected to the outputs of the effect (EFFECT RETURN) to a stereo bus to return the effect signal to that stereo bus. You can also assign inputs to stereo buses during mixdown, allowing you to mix up to 8 input signals with the playback tracks. 1. When the recorder is stopped, press the ASSIGN button to open the Assign screen. 2. Use the STEREO SELECT button or the CURSOR (5/b/g/t) buttons to move the cursor to the STEREO BUS display area. 3. Use the CURSOR (g/t) buttons to move the cursor to the input source you want assign to the stereo bus. 4.
