How to read this manual
• This owner’s manual applies to both the TD-15 and the TD-11. These two devices will be collectively referred to as the “TD.”
• Functions found only on the TD-15 are indicated by the
icon.
• Buttons on the panel are enclosed by square brackets [ ]; for example, the [SETUP] button.
• Buttons corresponding to function buttons shown in the display are referred to as (for example) the [F3] (XSTICK) button.
