Status Confirmation Using Onscreen Display (OSD)
By pressing the DISPLAY button on the unit’s front panel or on the remote control unit, the onscreen display (OSD) will be projected on the monitor screen. The OSD permits confirmation of the unit’s current setting status, as as well as recording/playback conditions.
7Idling Condition Recording-Setting Confirmation Screen
When the unit is in the idling condition, pressing the DISPLAY button causes a listing of the unit’s current Status (settings) to be displayed. This display allows the user to check settings before operating the unit, yet without the need to enter the Function Menu, thus permitting more efficient operation.
When in the idling condition, the OSD screen is composed of two pages. The first two times the DISPLAY button is pressed, the OSD alternates between the two pages; when the button is pressed a third time, the OSD is turned off.
