OPERATION OVERVIEW
GENERAL RULES
* Pressing a [SETUP] key whilst in that SETUP function will exit that function immediately.
* Vistonics™ {EXIT} buttons close the page immediately.
* Parameter changes made by the user are processed immediately.
* Grey-out is used to show that an audio function block is bypassed.
* In order to allow the pre-setting of parameters it is possible to change the parameters and

be changed even if the Equaliser is switched off with the EQ {IN} key.
