When the number key corresponding to the channel whose signals are to be monitored is pressed while the “L” (or “R”) button is held down, that channel is selected, and its signals are displayed on the audio level meter. (The same steps can also be taken to de-select a channel which has already been selected.) However, only up to 2 channels among the CH1- CH4 channels and only up to 2 channels among the CH5- CH8 channels are selected.

(Examples: CH1 + CH3 + CH5 + CH8 can be selected but CH1 + CH2 + CH4 cannot be selected.)

Display saving function

This function is provided to extend the service life of the LCD monitor. It starts up if none of the front panel controls have been operated or the cassette tape has not been run at all for about 5 minutes.

While the saving function is working, the LCD monitor display goes blank, and the “EX” symbol appears on the time code display area. [The setting for displaying or not displaying the logo can be selected in Setup Menu No. 146 (SAVER DISP).]

To release the saving function, operate a button or dial on the front panel or issue a tape transport command from the controller. The operation performed to release the function will be executed after the function is released.
