1.2.2 Conventions within this manual
PCB Assemblies: The term PCB Assembly is used in this manual to refer to a
printed circuit board which has components (resistors, connectors, etc.)
mounted on it. The term PCB or Printed Circuit Board, when used alone
refers to the "bare" printed circuit board without components. The term PCB
is rarely used outside of the electrical and mechanical parts lists. When a
PCB Assembly is referred to in the text, the name or function of that PCB
Assembly will usually be given in ALL CAPITAL letters.
Type conventions
ALL UPPER CASE - Generally, this manual uses all upper case type to
describe a switch or control when that item is similarly labeled on the
machine (e.g., the PLAY button).
First Letter - Where a switch or button is not Upper Case labeled, or the
reference is less clear, only the first letter of the item is capitalized (e.g., the
Cue Wheel near the CUE button). Machine status or operating modes are
described with an upper case first letter (e.g., you press the PLAY button to
place the machine in Play mode).
( ), [ ] - Normal parentheses ( ) are used for examples and parenthetic
comments. Square brackets [ ] are used to refer to certain illustrations. When
used in text, the square brackets are either references to the same figure as
noted in that sub-section (e.g., [3], meaning the part labeled "3" in the figure
noted) or are preceded by the figure number (e.g., Fig. 2-1, [3], meaning "3"
in Figure 2-1).
