Audio equipment

AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 switches: 
When the audio cable is connected to either 
the AUDIO IN CH1 or CH2 connector with 
REAR XLR AUTO set to ON on the AUDIO-1 
page of the MAINTENANCE menu, the signal 
input to the AUDIO IN CH1 or CH2 connector 
is automatically selected as the signal to be 
recorded. This is true regardless of the 
AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 switch settings. (This is 
called XLR connection automatic detection 
function.)
When the XLR connection automatic 
detection function is set to OFF (factory 
setting), set the AUDIO IN CH-1 or CH-2 
switch corresponding to the channel to which 
the audio equipment is connected to REAR.
