About This Manual; Notations - Yamaha SU10 Owner's Manual

1
The purpose of this manual is to help you quickly master the operation of your
SU10. Although compact, your SU10 offers a surprising array of playback, edit-
ing, and utility functions. You may need to refer to this manual fairly often in the
beginning, but the concepts and operating principles should soon become clear.
Before starting to use your SU10, please be certain to read through the precau-
tions on page 2 for information that will help you avoid data loss and equipment
damage.

Notations

Button names are enclosed in a rectangular frame, as in [HOLD] or [EXIT].
The 12 central buttons are called pads . Each pad has two functions. The lower
function is indicated by the word PAD followed by the button number: for
example, [PAD 1], [PAD 10]. The upper function is indicated by an expression
such as [SHIFT]+[SONG 2], which means "hold down the [SHIFT] key while pressing
the [SONG2] button."
In general a + sign between two button names means that you must hold
down the first button while pressing the second. For example, [REV]+[PAD 1],
[SHIFT]+[EDIT].
SU10 editing and utility operations are semi-interactive, with the lower left
area of the LCD displaying the necessary messages, prompts, and parameters.
Messages and parameter names that appear in this area are shown in a special
font, as in: Delete A1?.
Normal boldface is sometimes used to call attention to important passages.
The following icons are also used.
This icon header denotes critical advice that may help prevent acci-
dental data loss or equipment damage. Please read these sections care-
fully.
This icon calls attention to significant supplemental information.
This mark appears within procedures to indicate a supplemental ex-
planation that is not part of the procedure itself.
