I can obviously still play B through speakers (and phones simultaneously) by moving the fader slide over to B.
The latter part is the idea of using it. Move Cross fader to select Main output (your speakers). If you use one deck for playing you'll always have silence in between 2 tracks...
For Cueing you de/activate the headphone button per deck.
Often you don't need to mix Main into head phone as Main will be the same as Cue. The main difference is that the Main signal also has deck fader volume and FX in it... Once you are familiar with the basic routing just play around and within hours you know...
