Adjusting the return level

Here's how to adjust the level of return channel 1 (the
level of the effect sound returned from effect 1), and
send it to the stereo bus.
1
Make sure that the [ON] key of return
channel 1 is on (lit).
If it is off, press the [ON] key to turn it on.
2
Press the [SEL] key of return channel 1.
Return channel 1 will be selected.
3
Press the [VIEW] key
The VIEW screen CH View page will appear.
4
In the PAN/ROUT area, make sure that the
ST button is turned on.
If the ST button is off, move the cursor to the but-
ton and press the [ENTER] key. Now the return
signal from effect 1 will be sent to the stereo bus,
and mixed with the signals from the other chan-
nels.

Turn the [RTN 1] control to adjust the level
of return channel 1 (the level of the effect
sound returned from effect 1).
The current level is shown by the FADER in the
lower part of the CH View page, and by the RTN
1 knob in the upper right. With the default set-
tings of the AW2816, the level of return channels
1/2 is set to nominal level (0 dB).
Tip!
The RTN 1/2 knobs in the upper right of the screen
are always displayed, regardless of the currently
selected screen. The knob will be highlighted when
the level is -infinity, 0 dB, or +6 dB.
