Digital X Bus

Setup Window

The Setup Window (Windows > Setup) is very important to the functionality of the Digital X Bus. Its settings determine how the console operates within its own architecture as well as how it interfaces with other digital equipment.

Follow the checklist below to verify that each Setup Window parameter is intentionally set. For specific recommendations for various parameter set- tings, refer to “Setup” on page 31.

Setup window settings are automatically stored and are recalled in subsequent boot-ups.
