Mute group assign field
This area displays the channels assigned to the currently-selected mute group.
While this window is displayed, press the [SEL] key for the channel that you want to 
assign to the mute group. The channel will be assigned to the mute group, and the on-
screen fader for that channel will turn red. Press the same [SEL] key once again if you 
want to remove the channel from the group.
If the MUTE SAFE button is on, this field displays the channels that enabled for mute safe 
(that is, excluded from the mute groups). The operation procedure to apply or cancel 
mute safe to the channels is the same as that for assigning or removing channels to or 
from a mute group. The on-screen faders of the assigned channels will turn green.

Using mute groupsTo control mute groups, you can use the MUTE GROUP MASTER buttons in the MUTE 
GROUP ASSIGN window. In addition, it may prove convenient if you assign the Mute On/Off 
function for a mute group 1 - 8 to a USER DEFINED key.Assigning mute groups to USER DEFINED keys
NOTEThe USER SETUP window enables you to limit available functionality by user, and also to make 
system-wide settings. This window includes several pages, which you can switch between using 
the tabs located at the bottom of the window.
Turning mute groups on/off with USER DEFINED keysTo mute a mute group, press the USER DEFINED key to which you have assigned the Mute 
On/Off function.
The LED of the USER DEFINED key will light, and all channels that belong to the selected 
mute group will be muted. At this time, the [ON] key of the muted channels will blink. You can 
turn on multiple USER DEFINED keys to mute multiple mute groups.
To defeat muting for a mute group, press the USER DEFINED key that you lit.
NOTE
Even if a channel is assigned to a mute group, it will not be affected by operations of the USER 
DEFINED key if the [ON] key for that channel is already turned off to begin with.
Temporarily unmuting a channelYou can unmute a muted channel in the mute group temporarily.Using the Mute Safe functionSpecific channels that belong to a mute group can be temporarily excluded from mute group 
operations (Mute Safe). Channels that are set to Mute Safe will not be affected when you mute 
a mute group to which that channel belongs. STEP
1.In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button.
2.Press the USER SETUP button in the upper left of the SETUP screen.
3.In the USER SETUP window, press the USER DEFINED KEYS tab.
4.Press the button for the USER DEFINED key to which you want to assign the Mute 
On/Off function.
5.Choose “MUTE MASTER” in the FUNCTION column, and choose“MUTE GROUP x” 
(where “x” is the mute group number) in the PARAMETER 1 column.
6.
When you press the OK button, the Mute On/Off function will be assigned to the USER 
DEFINED key that you selected in step 4.USER DEFINED KEY SETUP window

NOTEThe [SEL] key of the channel set for Mute Safe will light, and the on-screen fader for that channel 
will be highlighted in green. You can cancel the Mute Safe status by pressing a lit [SEL] key once 
again to make it go dark.
Using the temporary unmute functionIf one of the mute group master buttons on a channel is ON, press the [ON] key for that 
channel to temporarily unmute the channel. However, in PREVIEW mode, any operation 
during mute with pressing of the [ON] key is disabled.Using the Recall Safe function“Recall Safe” is a function that excludes only specific parameters/channels (DCA groups) from 
Recall operations. Unlike the Focus Recall function (page 94), which you can apply to 
individual scenes, the Recall Safe settings are globally applied to all scenes.NOTE
• Simply selecting a parameter in step 4 does not enable Recall Safe. To turn Recall Safe on or off, 
you must also perform the operation described in step 5.
• Channel Link (page 76) and bus settings are not subject to Recall Safe; they will always be 
reproduced in the recalled scene.
This means that if Recall Safe is enabled for one of several channels included in a link group or 
one of two channels set to stereo, the parameter settings of that channel may differ from those of 
the other channel(s). In such cases, the applicable parameter will be automatically re-linked the 
next time it is operated.
You can globally apply Recall Safe to channel links by using the global parameter.
• You can use the Recall Safe function along with the Focus Recall function (
page 94
). Channels 
or parameters that are excluded from Recall operations by either Focus or Recall Safe will not be 
recalled.
• If you perform a Recall operation while holding down a [SEL] key, the Recall Safe settings for the 
corresponding channel will temporarily be enabled for that Recall operation.
STEP
1.In the Function Access Area, press the CH JOB button.
2.Press the RECALL SAFE button in the CH JOB menu.
3.Press the [SEL] key for the channel or DCA group that will be affected by Recall Safe 
operations.
4.Use the Safe Parameter select button in the RECALL SAFE MODE window to select 
the target for Recall Safe operations.
5.To enable Recall Safe for the selected channel, turn the SAFE button on. (If you 
selected a DCA group, turn on either the LEVEL/ON button or the ALL button.)
6.To enable Recall Safe for global parameters, turn on the buttons of the GLOBAL 
RECALL SAFE field.
7.When you have finished making settings, press the CLOSE button to close the 
window. Then perform a Recall operation.

Safe parameter select button (DCA)
For each DCA group, selects the parameters for which Recall Safe is enabled. If the ALL 
button is on, all DCA master parameters will be subject to Recall Safe. If LEVEL/ON is on, 
Recall Safe will apply to the DCA master level and on/off status. If NAME is on, Recall 
Safe will apply to the DCA group name. Although you can turn on both the LEVEL/ON 
button and the NAME button, they will then both be switched off if you turn on the ALL 
button.

Channel Link functionChannel Link is a function that links the operation of parameters such as fader and EQ 
between input and output channels. Two or more channels that are linked are called a “link 
group”. There is no limit on the number of link groups you can create, or on the number and 
combinations of channels that can be included in these link groups. You can select the types 
of parameters to be linked for each link group. However, input channels and output channels 
cannot coexist on the same link group.
The parameters to be linked can be selected from the following choices.
For an input channel:
• Head amp settings
• Digital gain settings
•HPF settings
•EQ settings
• Dynamics 1 settings
• Dynamics 2 settings
• Insert on and insert point settings
• Direct Out on, Direct Out level, and Direct Out point settings
• Send levels and PRE/POST settings of signals sent to MIX buses
• On/off status of signals sent to MIX buses
• Send levels and PRE/POST settings of signals sent to MATRIX buses
• On/off status of signals sent to MATRIX buses
• Fader operations• [ON] key operations
• TO STEREO/MONO setting
•DELAY setting
• DCA GROUP ASSIGN setting
• MUTE GROUP ASSIGN settings

Channel link operations
• Linking three or more channels
Hold down the link-source [SEL] key and successively press the [SEL] key of each input 
channel you want to add to the link group.
• Adding a new channel to an existing link group
Hold down any [SEL] key within the group and press the [SEL] key that you want to add 
to the group.
NOTE
If the link-destination input channel is already assigned to another link group, its assignment to 
the previous group will be canceled, and it will be added to the newly assigned group.
• Removing a channel from a link group
Hold down any [SEL] key in the same link group, and press the [SEL] key for the channel 
that you want to remove.
• Changing the level balance between channels that belong to the same link group
While pressing and holding down the [SEL] key for the desired linked channel, adjust the 
parameter value. You can also remove all linked channels from the same link group 
temporarily. This can be helpful if you want to edit parameters that are linked to each 
other while maintaining the same relative level differences. For example, this may be the 
case for parameters such as the HA analog gain and fader. While you are holding down 
the [SEL] key, the HA analog gain and fader values will not be linked. (However, you 
cannot temporarily cancel this link during the “fading”phase of a recalled scene.)
