To run line in and bypass the gain stage, keep the level knobs clicked off. Use a jewelers screwdrive to adjust trim on the tiny inlayed screws next to gain pots. Otherwise, apply gain to use the pre's

ohh and plustee on taping the rads 8)

This is how I would run mine.You get plenty of gain using just the A/D stage using the trim pots. Using the purple gain knobs your are engaging the mic preamps.
