[20]SHTL MON (F 8) key and indicator

When this key is pressed, shuttle monitoring is enabled (see 7.1.3, “Shuttle monitoring”).

When the SHIFT key [24] is pressed, this key becomes a function key.

[21]REPEAT (F 9) key and indicator

When this key is pressed, playback is repeated between the two memory locations set by [13] and [14] (see 8.2.5, “Repeat function” for details).

When the SHIFT key [24] is pressed, this key becomes a function key.

[22]LOC 1 (F 10) key

This key locates the tape to the position set by [13].

When the SHIFT key [24] is pressed, this key becomes a function key.

[23]LOC 2 (PRESET) key

This key locates the tape to the position set by [14].

When the SHIFT key [24] is pressed, this key allows the assignment of the function keys ([9] through [13], and [18] through [22]) (see 5.3, “Assigning menus to function keys”).

[24]SHIFT key and indicator

When this latching key is pressed (the indicator will flash), keys [9] through [13] and [18] through

[22]become function keys, and key [23] takes on a new function as a PRESET key (see 5.3, “Assigning menus to function keys”).

[25]CURSOR keys

These keys are used to navigate the cursor through the menus controlling the DA-98 functions.

When a menu has been selected, the UP and

DOWN keys ( and ) are used to set the values or select the choices within the menu).

See page 5-1 for details of how to use these keys in menu operations.

[26]SHUTTLE switch, indicator and

control

When the SHUTTLE key is pressed, the indicator will light. The SHUTTLE control will then be active. Turning the control to the right privides

Section 2 – Front Panel controls

forward cueing and turning it to the left provides reverse cueing, similar to “rock and roll” on open- reel tape decks.

For details, see 8.6, “Shuttle operations”.

[27]ENTER and ESCAPE keys

These keys are used in conjunction with the cursor keys [25] to go “up and down” the menu hierarchy.

See page 5-1 for details of how to use these keys in menu operations.

[28]REC FUNCTION switches and indicators

These eight switches and indicators allow the set- ting and viewing of the record status on a track- by-track basis.

When one of these switches is pressed, the appro- priate indicator will flash, the track is “armed”, and going into record mode will start recording on that track. When recording is being carried out on a track, the track’s indicator will light steadily.

[29]INPUT MONITOR switches and indicators

These switches allow the monitoring of inputs to tracks on a track-by-track basis, irrespective of the current transport status. The appropriate indica- tor(s) will light when monitoring track input(s) using these switches.

Note that the function of these switches is con- nected with the ALL INPUT key [18] (page 7-1).

[30]CLOCK switch and indicators

This switch and these indicators allow you to set and view the system clock. There are three options:

ence

WORD

The clock will be synchronized to the signal

received at the VIDEO IN connector

For full details of external synchronization, see 10, “Operations related to timecode”.
