Basic concepts and operations of the TD-9

This section explains operations that are common to all of the
TD-9's functionality.

Saving your settings

The TD-9 has no "Save" function to save your settings. Any
changes you make will be saved when you turn off the power.
* Be sure to turn off the power by pressing the POWER
button (p. 18).

Buttons, dial, and knobs

In this manual, references to the panel buttons, knobs and dial
are enclosed in square brackets [ ]; e.g., [SETUP].

Cursor

Cursor
The cursor is the highlighted text in the screen that indicates
what you can edit.
If there is more than one editable item in a screen, you can use
the [CURSOR] buttons to move the cursor to the item you want
to edit.

Function buttons ([F1]–[F3])
The [F1]–[F3] buttons are called "function buttons." The bottom
line of the display indicates the name of the functions performed
by [F1]–[F3].
For example if an explanation in this manual refers to [KIT]-[F2]
(FUNC), this means that you should press [KIT] and then [F2] (in
this case, there will be an indication of "FUNC" above the [F2]
button).
Using the "+" button, "-" button,
and VALUE dial
The [+] and [-] buttons (referred to as [+/-] in this manual) and
VALUE dial (referred to as [VALUE]) are both used to edit
settings.
When this manual tells you to "use [+/-]," you can also use
[VALUE] to get the same result. Each method has the following
characteristics.
[+/-]
• The value of the setting will increase each time you press
[+], and decrease each time you press [-]. This is
convenient when you want to make fine adjustments.
• When making an on/off setting, press [+] to turn it on or
press [-] to turn it off.
• Shortcut: The value will increase rapidly if you hold down
[+] and press [-], or decrease rapidly if you hold down [-]
and press [+].
• The value will change in larger steps if you press [+/-]
while holding down [SHIFT].
[VALUE] dial
This dial lets you make large changes in a value easily.
Convenient for working with parameters that have broad value
range.
• If you turn the [VALUE] dial while holding down [SHIFT],
the value will change more rapidly.
