Using a TEAC A-2340 with a Mackie CR1604

So i have a 2340 that i have wired up to my 1604 like you would wire any 4 track. 4 direct outs to the line ins on the deck and the line outs to 4 line ins on the mackie for monitoring after recording. My question are how is the decks output and line parameters supposed to be set when im using a mixer instead of just the deck itself? it seems i have to have the line knob turned up to get any movement on the meters despite the mixer being at full blast and the output knobs also affect the playback even when the mackie is monitoring through the line inputs. Im having trouble getting a clear recording as i think i dont have this setup gain staged properly. Any tips?
 
A few questions so I can help you easier:

1. Do you have the manual for the CR1604? (This was my first mixer back in the mid 90s!) :)
2. Which mixer channels are you using for your recording (direct outs) and which ones are you using for playback?
3. What type of instruments/signals are you trying to record?
