Adjusting action height on a Yamaha R1000v bridge

What's Hot
ChuffolaChuffola Frets: 2026
Picked up a Pacifica 812V earlier today which needs a little TLC.

However, it has a R1000V bridge which I can't for the life of me work out how to adjust string/ saddle height?

Anyone any experience?  Am I being really stupid (wouldn't be the first time)?

    according to the catalogue you can't adjust individual saddles, just the bridge itself.

    Thanks for that. Does seem to be the case, which would be fine if I knew how to adjust the bridge. 

    Is it a case of raising or lowering the bridge studs with an Allen key? Again, apologies for stupidity in advance.

    that does appear to be all the height adjustment there is, yes - like a tunematic bridge there's just that and intonation.
