Assuming that you are using LINE OUT, it puts the Main receiver on the 
left channel and the Sub receiver on the right channel, independent of 
any other settings.

This is to allow computer software to do digital modes, for example, on 
each receiver. The assumption is that if you are feeding the LINE OUT to 
a computer, there is software for the computer that can do mixing, 
decoding, or whatever it is that you want to do.

If you want the LINE OUT to mimic the PHONES jack, you need to set LINE 
=PHONES.  But if you do this, the AF GAIN control will affect the level 
from LINE OUT, too.
