Selecting SETUP mode

Follow the steps below to select the desired SETUP menu in SETUP mode.

1. While the VR800 is stopped, press the SETUP key on the control panel.

Pressing the SETUP key causes the VR800 to enter SETUP mode. The VR800 displays the first hierarchy level of the SETUP menu you selected before you turned off the power. At this time, the menu graphics appear as shown below.

The flashing menu indicator is the currently-selected menu. Turning the JOG dial will select a different menu and the corresponding menu indicator will flash.

2. Select the desired menu using the JOG dial, then press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The VR800 displays the second hierarchy level of the selected SETUP menu, where you can set parameters. (Refer to the next page for more information.)

To exit SETUP mode, press the STOP button or the EXIT/ NO key. Each time you press one of these keys, the VR800 returns to the previous hierarchy level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP mode.
