<How to enter characters>

<Character entry keys>

Some keys on the MR-8 top panel act as character entry keys in the menu mode. For example, the [PLAY MODE] key (shown at the left) can be used for entering A, B, C, a, b, c and 1.

Each press of a character entry key switches the character to be entered from among those assigned to the key.

<Entry example>

The following procedure shows how to enter "Moonlit" as a song name.

1. Use the [AUTO PUNCH] key to enter "M".

2. Press the [CURSOR ] key to move the cursor right.

3. Use the [AUTO PUNCH] key to enter "o".

4. Press the [CURSOR ] key to move the cursor right.

5. Use the [AUTO PUNCH] key to enter "o".

6. Press the [CURSOR ] key to move the cursor right.

7. Use the [AUTO PUNCH] key to enter "n".

8. Use the [STORE] key to enter "l".

9. Use the [LOCATE B/OUT] key to enter "i". 10. Use the [0 RETURN] key to enter "t".

<Notes on cursor movement>

Pressing a different character entry key automati- cally moves the cursor right.

If two successive characters are assigned to the same character entry key, press the [CURSOR ] key after selecting the first character to move the cursor right.

Also note that you cannot use “+” for a song name with less than 9 characters. For example, you cannot enter “AAA+BBB” for a song name.

You can use “+” for a song name with 8 or more characters. For example, you can enter “AAA+BBBBB”.
