How do I set the optimum gain for recording?

While the sound source is playing at its loudest levels, slowly turn the gain knob clockwise until the red clip indicator begins to illuminate, then turn it counter-clockwise until the indicator no longer illuminates.

What happens if I plug headphones into the Headphone Output?

Plugging headphones into the Headphone Output will automatically mute the Line Outputs.
