Display
When you turn on the power, the
display will show a "kit screen" like
the one shown at right.
* The explanations in this manual include
illustrations that depict what should typically be
shown by the display. Note, however, that your
unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version
of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so
what you actually see in the display may not
always match what appears in the manual.
