Solo clear button Press this button to clear the solo function for all of the soloed buses or channels. 19.
Control ˙Link & DCA: After link, the channels can also be grouped to DCA as stereo channel, but not able to cancel the link in DCA. On the contrary, if the channel has been grouped to DCA, it can not link at all, but its paired channel can link. For example, channel 5 is linked with channel 6, then both channel 5 and 6 can be grouped to DCA. But if channel 5 has been grouped to DCA first, it can not link to channel 6, but channel 6 can link to channel 5.
5 Control 28. FX1/FX2 send Press the input channel and then press this button, can assign the channel to use FX1/FX2 effects. And the default level is mute, so you should tune the knob below the button to take effects. 28 29 31 29. Aux1-4/Aux5-8 sends Press the input channel and then press this button, can assign the channel to use AUX1-4/5-8.

A line bus can be used to send several channels to an external effects processor and also can be used to return the processed signal to the mixer. The input is balanced stereo. If a mono signal has to be returned to the mix, connect it to the left input, then the right as well as the left side will get the signal. 40. Insert Only channel 1-8 are equipped with insert function, while others are not.
