2 - Basic operational concepts This section introduces the basic ways in which you should use the controls of the DM-4800 to achieve your desired goals. NOTE Please take the time to read and understand this section, so that you understand how basic navigation and parameter editing operations are performed. Dedicated screen mode selection keys provide access to the different screens shown on the LCD display: Many screens accessed with these keys include subscreens or "pages". These sub-screens can be accessed using the POD keys ("The PODs" on page 20) or repeated presses of the same control key will cycle through these pages. Figure 2.1: Screen mode selection keys Press one of these keys to access the screen marked above the key in "normal" (for example, key 4 is used to select the AUX 7-8 screen). For the alternative screen available from many keys, press the ALT key so that the ALT indicator lights (see "Smart keys" on page 19 for details of the behavior of this key), and then the appropriate key to select the screen whose title is written in inverted characters above the key. For example, key 5 normally brings up the AUX 9-10 screen, but using this key with the ALT key brings up the LIBRARY screens. Figure 2.2: Cursor and data wheel keys Use the cursor keys to navigate around the screen (sometimes, the wheel can also be used to navigate). Radio buttons (exclusive-or options) or checkboxes (options) are set and unset using the ENTER key when the cursor highlights the option. When a parameter is selected, the wheel is usually used to change the value. For non-numerical values changed using the wheel, usually ENTER should be pressed to confirm the entry. Note that while the parameter is being edited, the displayed parameter blinks on screen, and the cursor cannot be moved until the new value is confirmed with the ENTER key. The cursor keys are often used as "escape" keys to leave a screen without changing the value. For a few parameters (chiefly connected with the remote unit location facilities), the number keys can also be used when the number is selected using ENTER. Confirm the entry of a value made in this way by pressing ENTER. TASCAM DM-4800 User's Manual 17

2 – Basic operational concepts
This section introduces the basic ways in which you should use the controls of the DM-4800 to achieve your
desired goals.
NOTE
Please take the time to read and understand this sec-
tion, so that you understand how basic navigation and
parameter editing operations are performed.
Dedicated screen mode selection keys provide access
to the different screens shown on the LCD display:
Press one of these keys to access the screen marked
above the key in “normal” (for example, key
4
is
used to select the
AUX 7-8
screen).
For the alternative screen available from many keys,
press the
ALT
key so that the
ALT
indicator lights
(see “Smart keys” on page 19 for details of the
behavior of this key), and then the appropriate key to
select the screen whose title is written in inverted
characters above the key. For example, key
5
nor-
mally brings up the
AUX 9-10
screen, but using this
key with the
ALT
key brings up the
LIBRARY
screens.
Many screens accessed with these keys include sub-
screens or “pages”. These sub-screens can be
accessed using the POD keys (“The PODs” on
page 20) or repeated presses of the same control key
will cycle through these pages.
Use the cursor keys to navigate around the screen
(sometimes, the wheel can also be used to navigate).
Radio buttons (exclusive-or options) or checkboxes
(options) are set and unset using the
ENTER
key
when the cursor highlights the option.
When a parameter is selected, the wheel is usually
used to change the value.
For non-numerical values changed using the wheel,
usually
ENTER
should be pressed to confirm the
entry. Note that while the parameter is being edited,
the displayed parameter blinks on screen, and the
cursor cannot be moved until the new value is con-
firmed with the
ENTER
key.
The cursor keys are often used as “escape” keys to
leave a screen without changing the value.
For a few parameters (chiefly connected with the
remote unit location facilities), the number keys can
also be used when the number is selected using
ENTER
. Confirm the entry of a value made in this
way by pressing
ENTER
.
