2. Turn down all controls all the way counterclockwise (minimum).
* The Test Mode does not start unless all controls have been turned all the way counterclockwise.
3. Hold down [WRITE] and [EXTREME] and insert a plug into the INPUT jack.
* Holding down [WRITE] and [CRUNCH] by mistake and inserting the plug enters the Test Mode for factory-default inspection.
In many cases, execution proceeds unchanged for some time without this being noticed, but continuing in the Test Mode for
factory-default inspection is impossible without special tools.
The power comes on, and after a dot is displayed for approximately two seconds, the version is displayed on the 7-segment
LED display.
