4 - Mixer Control Functions the HS-P82 unit, the setting will differ from that last made using controls on this unit. Faders Faders can be set to one of two functions. The current setting can be confirmed by viewing the FADER MODE indicators. TRIM (microphone input) This has the same function as the input trim knobs on the front panel of the HS-P82 unit. Choose this setting to adjust the microphone input level. When you change the setting, the track name display area below the meters shows the gain value for a while. CAUTION When set to TRIM, the fader scale does not correspond to the trim value. LEVEL (level sent to the stereo bus) This has the same function as the 2Mix LVL knob on the PAN/LVL page that opens when you touch the PAN/LVL button on the Home Screen and on the CHx SETUP screens (channel setting screens where "x" is the channel number) of the HS-P82 unit. Adjust the level sent to the stereo bus in a range from -∞ to +10 dB. CAUTION The same adjustments can be made using both this unit and the HS-P82. The adjustments made most recently will be used, regardless of which unit they were made with. For this reason, if you make an adjustment using the HS-P82 unit, the setting will differ from that last made using controls on this unit. Monitoring You can connect headphones to the PHONES jack of this unit, as you could with the PHONES jack of the HS-P82 unit and monitor the mix as you adjust the knobs and faders. TIP •• The PHONES jack of this unit always outputs the signals from the RETURN IN 1 and RETURN IN 2 connectors used for communication. If you only want to monitor the recording, turn the RETURN IN 1 and RETURN IN 2 knobs all the way down. •• If the SOLO key of either RETURN IN (1/2) is ON (indicator lit), the input through the PHONES IN jack is reduced -20 dB, making the monitored signal quiet. When just monitoring, turn both of these keys OFF (indicator unlit). For details, see "Listening to RETURN IN signals" on page 16. Shortcut keys Each channel has SEL [REC] and SOLO [MUTE] keys that can be used for the following shortcuts. The STEREO MIX also has a SEL [REC] key that works in the same manner. SEL [REC] keys Press one of these keys to open the channel setting screen ("CHx SETUP" screen) of the corresponding channel on the color display on the HS-P82 unit. While pressing and holding the SHIFT key, press this key for a channel to enable/disable recording on that channel. SOLO [MUTE] keys Press one of these keys to enable/disable the solo function for the corresponding channel. While pressing and holding the SHIFT key, press this key for a channel to enable/disable the recording mute function on that channel. When the recording mute function is enabled, the recording level is set to -∞. If the channel is enabled for recording, silence will be recorded. The level sent to the stereo bus will also be -∞. Direct access keys Use these keys to directly open pages of the MIXER SETUP screen on the HS-P82 unit, as well as the RC-F82 page of the REMOTE SETUP screen where you can make settings for this unit. In addition, you can set how these keys function when used while pressing and holding the SHIFT key, so that you can use them to open the screens that you want directly. INPUT [F1] key Press this key to open the INPUT page of the MIXER SETUP screen on the color display of the HS-P82 unit. Press this key while pressing the SHIFT key to use the [F1] function.
