Setting the monitor output attenuate level (mode No.6)
Various types of audio equipment work at different reference levels. The monitor output attenuate level reduces
the level of the analog outputs. This feature, when used in combination with the +4/-10 dB pad switch, makes
it possible to vary the analog output level over a 28 dB range. This virtually eliminates any likelihood of level
incompatibility with other equipment.
(1) Attenuate level setting methods
This level can be set in the following 3 ways.
1) The level is set using the SETTING buttons or SETTING dial.
2) The level which has been preset in one of the LOCATE button is used.
3) The level is defined by the user by the LOCATE LAST button and recalled for use.

(3) Using a preset level in a LOCATE button
