Sony 85P, DSR-85 Settings Menu 4 Chapter

Menu Organization

As shown in the figure below, the menu system consists of four levels and is functionally divided into three subsystems: the setup menu, the auto mode (AUTO FUNCTION) execution menu and the digital hours meter display menu. This chapter mainly describes the setup menu, showing its contents and how to operate it.

For details of the auto mode execution menu, see the sections “Dubbing Signals in QSDI Format” (page 38) and “Rerecording the Time Code — TC Insert Function” (page 35). For details of the digital clock display, see the section “Regular Checks” (page 69).

The items of the setup menu are divided into several functional groups on level 1, and except for the MENU

GRADE item the settings themselves are made on level 2 or level 3.

Also, the menu items are divided into two categories according to how frequently they are accessed: the “basic” items, to which frequent access is normally required, and the “enhanced” items, which are less frequently used. In the following figure, the items shown in boldface are basic items, and the other items are enhanced items.

The menu settings are saved in non-volatile memory, which means they are not erased when you power off the unit after executing the setting operation.
