DITING
EDIT V ALUE B UTTON
The [EDIT VALUE] button is used to turn Edit mode on and off. When turned on, the
EDIT icon will light indicating you are now in Edit mode. At this point, you can press
any one of the [LOCATE 0] - [LOCATE 9], [TAPE OFFSET] or [TRACK DELAY]
Function buttons to view and/or edit their respective parameter settings in the display.
The icons just below the EDIT icon in the display will indicate which feature is
currently selected for editing (when in Edit mode), and which features are on or off
(when not in Edit mode). When Edit mode is selected, the TIME counter provides a
display of the selected parameter’s current setting.
The first time [EDIT VALUE] is pressed, Locate 0 will be selected. While the EDIT
icon is still on, you can press another Function button to access its parameter(s).
Press [EDIT VALUE] again to exit Edit mode; the EDIT icon will turn off. Pressing a
Function button now will toggle that function on or off. The next time Edit mode is
turned on, the display will return to the last function you were editing before exiting
Edit mode.

s AND t B UTTONS
Once a function is selected, the s and t buttons are used to increment or decrement
its setting by single values. By holding either button, the increment or decrement
value increases its speed. By simultaneously pressing both buttons, the selected
parameter is reset to 0.
E NTERING N UMERIC V ALUES
If [EDIT VALUE] is held while in Edit mode, you may use the [LOCATE 0] – [LOCATE
9] buttons as a 10-digit keypad (from 0 to 9) to enter a specific numerical value for the
currently selected parameter in the display. Numbers are entered from left to right.
Examples: If [LOCATE 1] is pressed using this method to edit Track Delay time
(displayed as XXX.X ms), the display would show .1 ms. If a [LOCATE 5] is now
entered, the display shows 1.5 ms. If the [EDIT VALUE] button is released at this
time, the display shows 001.5 ms and that would be the new Track Delay value.
Likewise, if this method is used to edit a Locate Point (X:XX:XX.XX) and the
sequence of numbers were entered as follows: [LOCATE 1] – [LOCATE 2] –
[LOCATE 3] , the display would successively show . 1, .12, 1.23. If the [EDIT
VALUE] button is then released, the display would show 0:00:01.23 and that would
be the Locate Point’s value.
E DITING I NDIVIDUAL D IGITS
You can also select a specific digit in the display to edit, by holding the [EDIT VALUE]
button and pressing either [s] or [t]; the currently selected digit will flash. While still
holding the [EDIT VALUE] button you may press any of the [LOCATE 0] – [LOCATE
9] buttons to enter a specific numerical value for the currently selected digit. The
selected digit will replace the previous once and will stop flashing, and the next digit
to its right will be selected (flashing) so you may continue entering digits using the
[LOCATE 0] – [LOCATE 9] buttons.
