A great deal of this information has come from the <br> [http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/301107819/m/3091053032 Unofficial User's Guide] on the Bose® Musicians Community Message Boards (the Forum).
I have done some light editing mainly for formatting. Most footnotes lead to a link to the original Forum post.
