Use this window to assign the pedals or buttons to certain actions like playback, rewind, etc.
To assign a pedal, choose the action button to assign, such as Play, then hold the pedal to use for that action for at least 1 second. The pedal indicators turn red during this time, then turn green when the pedal is assigned. If you do not press a pedal within 5 seconds or you choose the action button again, then no pedal is assigned. More than one pedal can be pressed at a time to assign that combination of pedals to an action. If two actions use the same pedal or same combination, then precedence is determined by the order shown (the lower action is considered unassigned).
