How to Use This Manual
We’re sure you’d like to jump in and start using your Fusion quickly. To
help you do this, check out the Fusion’s Quickstart guide. The
Quickstart guide is a separate manual that should have everything you
need to start playing quickly.
Once you’re ready for more in-depth information, this reference manual
is for you. This manual will describe the workings of every single feature
and parameter on the Fusion and you should be able to find answers to
all of your Fusion questions here.
We’ve also compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions at the end of
this manual that should address many of your troubleshooting questions.
Please check the FAQ before contacting our technical support staff as
that will save time and energy for both you and our friendly support staff.
Helpful tips and advice are highlighted in a
haded box like this.
When something important appears in the
manual, an exclamation mark (like the one
shown at left) will appear with some
explanatory text.
