4.2.4 “Fine-tuning” values
The JOG/SHUTTLE controls [28] may also be
used to “fine-tune” the values entered and dis-
played on the LED
VALUE display.
1) Press the DATA INC/DEC key [27] so that the
indicator lights.
2) Use the jog dial to change the value shown on
the VALUE display in the same way as you
would use them to locate a tape (i.e. the jog dial
increments (clockwise) or decrements (counter-
clockwise) the numbers.
4.3 Selecting the unit
controlled by the menus
As explained above, the Machine parameter
which appears in many menus cannot be changed
directly using the
UP or DOWN keys.
The DTRS units connected to the RC-898 are
numbered in order, starting at 1. The machine with
the lowest logical number (see 3.1.1, “Machine
IDs”), i.e. the one connected directly to the RC-
898, is Machine 1, the next in the chain is
Machine 2, and so on.
However, as you can see from the front panel of
the RC-898, the
UP and DOWN keys have
another meaning when used in combination with
the
SHIFT key [23], and they change to being
NEXT and PREVIOUS keys, allowing you to
select the next unit in the chain, or the previous
one, respectively.
If the display screen shows a menu with a
Machine parameter, and you want to change
the unit controlled by the menu’s other
parameters, as in the example menu below.:
1) Press and hold down the SHIFT key
2) While holding down the SHIFT key, press the
UP or DOWN ( NEXT or PREVIOUS ) key to
increment or decrement the Machine
number.
The machine number can be set from 1 through
6 .
Other menus will present the 6 units on one screen
(where there is only an on/off parameter). In these
cases, use the
LEFT and RIGHT keys to select the
machine, and the UP and DOWN keys to enable
or disable the function:
4.4 Commonly-used menus
The F1 through F10 function keys [22] may be
used to recall the ten functions (menu screens)
that you use most often.
When the SHIFT key [23] is held down, these
keys can be used as an additional ten function
keys;
F11 through F20 .
NOTE
The jog dial can only be used for data entry and editing of
values which may be entered through the
VALUE display,
not for values which may be entered only on the LCD dis-
play screen.
NOTE
This selection has no effect on the transport or location sec-
tion of the RC-898 and vice versa. The unit shown on the
MACHINE indicator [8] selected with the MACHINE key
[31] is independent of any settings made on the LCD dis-
play screen to select the unit whose parameters are to be set.

The menu-to-key assignments made on the RC-898 are
entirely independent of any menu-to-key assignments made
on the RC-898.
