SECTION 2 Start-up Guide
The Start-Up Guide covers the basic steps required for complete set up of the Audio Processor. Before attempting to follow
these instructions, you should familiarize yourself with the Overview section, which introduces some basic features of the
software interface.
You can perform many of these steps without actually being connected to the device, by saving your presets to the com-
puter and transferring them to the hardware at a later time. In order to acquaint you fully with the features of the DFR22,
these instructions are written presuming the following conditions:
• You are working while connected to the device.
• The installation includes external device control.
• Device security is required.
You may find steps in the instructions that do not apply to your immediate installation. However, we suggest that you follow
along through the entire Start-Up Guide, in order to acquaint yourself with the recommended workflow of setting up the
device, for future reference.
