Items in the LCD screen

The LCD screen of the SP-500 features the Touch View system that uses a one touch-panel. By directly touching buttons or cells (referred to as “objects”) that are displayed in the LCD screen, you can directly select pages, set values, move a selected region, or modify a setting.

Cells (rectangular frames with rounded corners):

When you press a cell, it will be highlighted. Now you can use the dial or the [VALUE] switches to change its value. If the cell has “▲” “▼” symbols, you can press these “▲” “▼” symbols to change the value of the cell.

Buttons (rectangular frames):

By pressing a button, you can execute the operation of that button, or open a page. If the button has “▲” “▼” symbols, you can press the “▲” “▼” symbols to modify the value of the corresponding cell.

Check boxes:

Each time you select a check box, its setting will be made.

When on, the box will be displayed as solid.

Radio buttons:

Radio buttons are used to select one of multiple choices. When you press a button, the corresponding choice will be selected.

LCD screen contrast

Adjust the contrast of the screen by turning the [CONTRAST] knob on the rear panel.

Using the LCD screen

The objects displayed in the LCD screen can be chosen with a light touch of the ﬁnger tip.
