Names; Note, Tip, Glossary And Warning Icons - Roland VS-2400CD Owner's Manual

1—Welcome
We highly recommend connecting a VGA monitor to your VS-2400CD—it makes the
VS-2400CD even easier and more fun to use. With a VGA monitor, you can perform
most VS-2400CD operations onscreen using your mouse. Chapters 29-35 describe using
a VGA monitor with your VS-2400CD.
To make it easy for you to find the manual's many step-by-step procedures, we've
assembled a "Step-By-Step Instruction Finder" that starts on Page 21. There's also a
standard Table of Contents at the front of the book and an Index in back. Additional
information can be found in "Supplemental Information," starting on Page 443.
In this manual, illustrations that show VS-2400CD screens reflect their appearance at
the time the manual was written. As the VS-2400CD's software is enhanced through
operating system upgrades, the appearance of the VS-2400CD's screens may change.

Names

Throughout the VS-2400CD Owner's Manual, the names of buttons, knobs, faders,
jacks—and settings that appear in the display—are shown exactly as they appear on the
VS-2400CD itself. As a result, names printed on the VS-2400CD are shown in capital
letters. For example, the button labeled "AUTOMIX" will appear in the manual as the
AUTOMIX button, or simply AUTOMIX, as in "Press AUTOMIX." Settings on the
display are shown in the same lower- and upper -case letters they use onscreen.
A few buttons serve several purposes and have long names. In such cases, we'll refer to
the button by the name that reflects its current use. For example, if we want to view CH
EDIT parameters, we'll say to press the "desired CH EDIT button," not the "desired CH
EDIT/SELECT/AUTOMIX STATUS" button. Some buttons have two labels. If we need
to refer to both, we'll show the labels with a bullet between them, as with the
HOME•DISPLAY button.
The F 1-6 buttons beneath the display can do different things at different times. We'll
show an F button's current function in parentheses after its name, as in "F1 (INPUT)."
The four arrow keys are a special case. Sometimes, we'll collectively refer to
,
"cursor," around in the VS-2400CD's display.

Note, Tip, Glossary and Warning Icons

Throughout the VS-2400CD Owner's Manual, you find the symbols shown below in the
left-hand margins. Here's what these symbols mean.
Notes provide additional information about the topic described in the main text.
Tips offer interesting ways to use the feature under discussion. They'll also let you know
why you should care about what's being said.
This symbol will be of special interest to beginners, because the word—or words—to its
right can be found in the glossary that starts on Page 471.
Make sure you pay attention whenever you see the Warning symbol. Warnings provide
important information that will help you avoid damage to your recordings, VS-2400CD,
other equipment or even yourself.
