The only justification is that the alternative to using symbols is worse - umpteen different versions with the advice and warnings given, and controls labelled, in different languages. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
