About the Symbols in This Manual
Words of symbols enclosed in [square brackets] indicate panel buttons or dial.
For example, [EDIT] signifies the Edit button.
The explanations in this manual
include illustrations that depict
what should typically be shown
by the display. Note, however,
that your unit may incorporate
a newer, enhanced version of
the system (e.g., includes newer
sounds), so what you actually
see in the display may not
always match what appears in
the manual.
