■ Notation Used in This Owner’s

To make operation procedures easy to understand, the

following notation system is adopted:

Characters and numbers in square brackets [ ] indicate

buttons on the front panel. For example, [PATCH] represents

the PATCH button and [ENTER] the ENTER button.

An asterisk (*) at the beginning of a paragraph indicates a

note or precaution. These should not be ignored. In the Quick

Start section, such material is indicated by ( ).

(p. **) refers to pages within the manual.

In this manual, when any particular parameter is referred to,

the name of the parameter is given, and this is then followed

(in parenthesis) by information detailing its mode, display

group, and display. For example: Key Mode parameter

(PERFORM/COMMON/PERFORM COMMON).

* The display screens printed in this owner’s manual are based on

the factory settings. However, please be aware that in some cases

they may differ from the actual factory settings.
