If operation using the remote control is different
from that using the unit, it is then explained.
· Basic and common information that is the same for
many functions is grouped in one place, and is not
repeated in each procedure. For instance, we do not
repeat the information about turning on/off the unit,
setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and
others, which are explained in the section "Basic and
Common Operations" on pages 14 16.
