The STEREO AUX RETURN 1 connectors generally serve as the return path for the
effects mix generated using the post-fader aux send. This is where you connect
the output signal of the external effects device. If only the left connector is used,
the AUX RETURN automatically operates in mono.

You can also use these connectors as additional line inputs.

The STEREO AUX RETURN 2 connectors serve as the return path for the effects
mix generated using the FX control. If these connectors already function as
additional inputs, you can route the effects signal back into the console via a
different channel, with the added benefit that the channel EQ can be used to
adjust the frequency response of the effects return signal.

The CD/TAPE INPUT RCA connectors are provided for connecting a 2 track
machine (e.g. DAT recorder). They can also be used as stereo line input.
Alternatively, the output signal of a second XENYX or BEHRINGER ULTRALINK
PRO MX882 can also be connected. If you connect a hi-fi amplifier with a source
selection switch to the CD/TAPE INPUT, you can easily switch between additional
sources (e.g. cassette recorder, CD player, etc.).
