Section 4.5 - Storing and recalling user setups

4-4

If you have not assigned a menu to a function key,
the default (factory) menu-to-key assignments
will be used as follows:

4.4.1 Assigning menus to function keys

To assign a menu to a function key:

1) Use cursor keys and the

SELECT

key until you

see the menu you want to assign to a function
key.

2) Press the

PRESET

key [21]:

The “Shuttle Monitor” screen is an example only.
The current menu title will be displayed on the
bottom line of the display.

3) Press the function key to which you wish to

assign the menu.

To use the second “bank” of function keys, press
and hold down the

SHIFT

key [23] before pressing

the function key.

4.4.2 Recalling menus using the function

keys

1) Simply press the function key where you have

previously assigned the menu you want to
recall.

If you have not assigned a menu to the function
key that you press, the display will remain
unchanged.

2) If you used the

SHIFT

key [23] to assign the

menu to

F11

through

F20

, press and hold down

the

SHIFT

key before pressing the function key

to recall the “shifted” menu.

4.5 Storing and recalling user

setups

The RC-898 allows you to store and recall almost
all parameters set using the menu system, so the
same remote control unit can be used with a vari-
ety of different equipment setups with the mini-
mum of reconfiguration.

This is a great time-saver, as not only are the RC-
898’s parameters stored and recalled, but the set-
tings for the DTRS units connected to the RC-898
are also stored and recalled. In this way, up to six
DTRS units can be reconfigured to preset configu-
ration patterns with the press of one key.

4.5.1 Saving the current setup

1) From the top menu, move the cursor to menu

group F, and press

SELECT

:

2) Move the cursor to

Setup

(as shown above),

and press

SELECT

:

As you can see, there are 10 user setups, numbered
from

0

through

9

, and a factory setup (

F

). Natu-

rally, you can reload the factory settings, but you
cannot overwrite them with your own settings; you
must choose one of the 10 user areas.
