The rear panel includes the eight individual channel outputs, Mix Out, Sample Input, MIDI In/Out/Thru, and cassette/sync connections.

Condition: Good vintage condition with normal cosmetic wear consistent with the age of the unit. There is visible finish wear around the rear power switch/power-cord area, as shown in the photographs. Please examine all photos carefully for the cosmetic condition.
