4 - Menu interface, etc.

Read this section to understand the basic principles

of the menu operations. These menus are used for

making settings which cannot be made directly from

dedicated front panel keys.

In addition, this section gives a brief description of

the top-level menu groups as well as the sub-menu

items and the parameters. This is not a detailed

description of these menus and parameters, but may

be consulted for quick reference. See the appropriate

sections of the manual for detailed information

regarding these menu settings.

4.1 The display

The DA-78HR’s menus and their options are dis-

played using the time counter. Since the display is

composed of 7-segment LED counters, a special

alphabet is used to show the letters of the alphabet.

The characters on the DA-78HR time counter are

shown as in the table below:

When a menu item or a value is given in this manual,

we show it in the following way:

Pk. H ld (

PK HLD

Notice also that because there are not many character

positions on the time counter, the English menu

titles, etc. may be abbreviated sometimes.

4.1.1 Peak meters

In addition to the time display, the bargraph meters

are sometimes used to show a value. For example, in

the stereo sub-mixer settings, the meters act as a bar-

graph display to show the “fader” settings of the

track levels.

Typically, the higher the value of the parameter, the

more segments of the meter are lit (at minimum val-

ues, no segments are lit, at maximum values, all seg-

ments are lit).

Pressing and holding

SHIFT

and pressing any

REC

FUNCTION

key in these editing modes will toggle

the meters between data value display and the normal

meter display.

4.2 The SHIFT key

The

SHIFT

key serves two functions: first, to modify

the action of another key when the

SHIFT

key is

pressed and held while the other key is pressed, and

secondly, to enter “shift mode”. These two are

explained below.

4.2.1 Shifted keys

Some keys of the DA-78HR perform two functions,

labels associated with the key. For instance, the

LOC

(locate to memory position 1) key, has the alterna-

tive “shifted” function marked as

MEMO 1

(store the

current time into memory location 1).

When the

SH IFT

key is pressed and held down, and

one of these keys, as described in the relevant part of

this manual, is pressed, the shifted function will be

performed.

The two keys can then be released in either order

(either the

SHIFT

key or the other key can be released

first).

4.2.2 Shift mode

By contrast, pressing the

SHIFT

key alone and releas-

ing it will place the unit into “shift mode”. The

SHIFT

indicator flashes to show this.

Pressing any of the two-function keys while the unit

is in shift mode will automatically enter the shifted

function.

While the unit is in shift mode, pressing the

SHIFT

key once again will turn the indicator off and exit

SHIFT

mode.

Note, however, that pressing and holding the

SHIFT

key and pressing another key to access the shifted

function of that key will not affect the current shift

mode.
