Recording the Same Audio Input to Two Channels
By default, when using the INPUT terminals, each audio input is recorded to a separate audio channel (INPUT 1
to CH1 and INPUT 2 to CH2). If necessary (for example, as an audio backup recording), you can record the
audio input into the INPUT 1 terminal to both audio channels, CH1 and CH2. In that case, you can adjust the
audio recording levels of each channel independently of each other.
