Above is the CONTROL ROOM tab on the View menu (first menu item, third tab). Here you can view the soloing status of your input channels, AUX mixes, group mixes, digital inputs, EFX mixes and your main stereo mix. These can all be adjusted between AFLs and PFLs - After Fader Listens and Pre Fader Listens. You touch the onscreen icons to alternate between the two.
As you can see in the above picture, some of the icons have the word "SAFE" written within. This indicates that the channel's set to SAFE SOLO. Typically when you solo a signal, it will be cut off from the main mix and sent only to the control room. Setting a SAFE SOLO will ensure when you solo the signal it will be sent to both the control room and the main mix. To set a safe solo, you just push the SOLO SAFE button followed by the button of the channel you want to set the solo safe to.
To activate a solo within this menu, you can push the SOLO button, followed by the channel(s) you wish to activate the solo on. For the AES/EBU or EFX mixes, you simply need to touch the buttons to activate the solo (as there's no PFL/AFL option on these). A soloed signal is indicated by a red "headphone" icon within the corresponding button.
Also in this menu you have a level meter, a mono/stereo adjustment button and a level control. Not too shabby!
As anyone who's used almost any mixer will know, the control room mix will be sent to the Control Room outputs on the rear (they're XLR connectors on the Summit) as well as the headphones output on the front of the Summit.
