Answer
Happy to help. However, there is a very wide range of applications that a mixer will be used for and the hookup/connections to the outside functions depend so much on what the session is all about.  I would first recommend you google or bing for this phrase: mixing console basics.

Then read through some of the ideas looking for one or two pages that teach you what you want to know.  Also, make sure you have studied the manual that comes with the Yamaha board you have.

Here is a forum discussion that would be helpful for you to read through, I think:

Here is a tutorial online that is a good study:

And here is a book to order from either Barnes and Noble or from Amazon:

Hopeing this will provide the guidance you need.
