Setup Window
The Setup Window (Windows > Setup) is very im-
portant 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
speci c 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.
