2) Are the 2 separate 1/4" audio in jacks and 6
separate 1/4"
audio 
out jacks of the MD mono or Stereo. The reason I ask
is that the main 
output is left and Right Stereo Channels so I am
assuming the other 6 
outputs and the inputs are Mono.
--------------------------------

to answer this, the Main outputs of the MD act as a
pair of stereo outs only when your global settings
dictate that this is the case (ie. if you are using
the master EQ/compressor/delay/reverb). if you set
them to function as A and B outputs, bypassing the
master FX section, then they act as mono outputs the
same way as the rest of the outputs do. this is
covered in the manual.

I am running a CD player playing tones etc into input
A using
"INP-EA" to gate the sounds. 
I am using a 2x phono to single stereo 1/4" jack . 
Would this be 
true stereo? 
----------------------------

no. essentially what you are doing here is summing the
stereo output of your CD player to a mono output
before it reaches the MD. to maintain a true stereo
signal, you should use a phono-1/4" mono adapter for
each output of the CD player, feeding the left output
of the CD to Input A of the MD and the right output of
the CD player to Input B of the MD.

hope that helps.

ofthicktum - judging by your handle, you must suffer
from severe heartburn! ;-)

cheers,
