When the STANDBY switch is pressed, all input channels are muted. Only the
CD/tape signal will be routed to the main mix. In this way, you can prevent
the microphones from pickung up unwanted sounds or noise that would
interfere with CD playback during a break. The main mix and channel faders
can remain in their normal positions while playing back music from CD
(using the CD/ TAPE INPUTs

The CD/TAPE OUTPUT RCA connectors provide the stereo main mix signal to
