When an input is on, signals on that channel will be input. iiTurn an input off by removing the check from its checkbox . When an input is off, signals on that channel will not be input. 3 Line Outputs items LINE OUT 1-2 iiSelect the signals output from the unit's LINE OUT 1-2 and PHONES ( 1 and 2 jacks on US-4x4) jacks. LINE OUT 3-4 (US-4x4 only) iiSelect the signals output from the unit's LINE OUT 3-4 jacks. Options "Monitor Mix" The signals from the channels selected using the Audio Input On/Off items and the signals sent from the computer by USB are mixed using the MONITOR BALANCE knob. This mix is output from the LINE OUT 1-2 and PHONES jacks. "Computer Out 1-2" Only the "Computer Out 1-2" signals sent from the computer by USB are output from the LINE OUT [BALANCED] and PHONES jacks. "Computer Out 3-4 (US-4x4 only)" Only the "Computer Out 3-4" signals sent from the computer by USB are output from the LINE OUT [BALANCED] and PHONES jacks. NOTE Set the MONITOR BALANCE knob all the way to the left (INPUT) to monitor only the input channel signals and set it all the way to the right (COMPUTER) to monitor only signals output from the computer. At other positions, both signals will be mixed. 4 Buffer Size item The driver for the unit stores the audio input and output signals transferred to and from the computer temporarily in a buffer. This buffer size can be adjusted. Smaller buffer sizes result in less audio signal delay (latency), but require high-speed processing by the computer. If the processing cannot keep up, for example, due to other system operations, clicking and popping noises might occur and the audio signal might even drop out. Increasing the buffer size will stabilize operation and suppress negative effects on audio signals, but the delay in audio signals sent to the computer will increase. You can use the slider on the panel to adjust the buffer size, according to the use conditions. You can adjust the buffer size used with this unit according to your use conditions. 5 Auto Power Save ON When this setting is on, if operating in standalone mode and no input signal (above −60 dBFS) has been detected for 30 minutes, the unit will turn itself off (start standby) automatically. oo Putting a check (4) in the checkbox will turn the automatic power saving function on so the unit will automatically turn off (enter standby mode). oo Removing the check (4) in the checkbox will turn the automatic power saving function off. 14 TASCAM US-2x2/US-4x4
