CAUTION
Set the volume control to
headphone for the first time. Gradually raise the volume level until a comfortable
listening level is reached.
This simple precaution can prevent unexpectedly high volume levels from
damaging your sound system, headphones, or most important, your ears.

Jog and Shuttle Dials
The Jog and Shuttle Dials allow rapid control over the various features of
the RY20.
The Jog Dial is a continuously rotating control. By rotating it you can
quickly change the current value. You use it to select patterns or songs, to
change the tempo, or to modify any of a number of other parameters.
The Shuttle Dial is a center detented, spring-loaded control. It allows you
even more rapid access to the current value. The further you rotate the
Shuttle Dial from its center detent, the faster the parameter will scroll.
For fine single-step adjustments, you may want to use the [ +1 ] and [ –1 ]
buttons, described below.
