MENU OPERATIONS

Saving Menu Settings

Settings made to each of the menu items can be saved to user banks.

Five user banks (U1 to U5) are provided, and menu settings when the remote control unit is turned OFF are stored to the currently selected user bank.

You will find it more convenient to save optimum menu settings to individual user banks depending on your specific work requirements.

The user bank can be selected by using menu No. 22 (“USER”).

Selection: U1 (default setting) to U5, PRE

When the remote control unit is turned ON, the menu settings saved to the currently selected user bank are reproduced. When PRE is selected, all menu settings are returned to their defaults.

When a user bank is changed using the above menu item (“USER”) during operations, the menu settings change to those of the newly selected user bank. (The remote control unit need not be turned OFF then back ON again.)

Clearing Menu Settings

The menu settings currently saved to a user bank can be cleared to return them to their defaults. User banks can be batch-cleared or cleared individually.

Clearing all user banks

Set menu No . 22 to “PRE” and use menu No . 21 (“A_CLR”) to clear all user banks. (all clear)

When menu No. 21 (“A_CLR”) is selected, the message “SURE?” will be displayed. Press the Úkey (or turn the SEARCH dial clockwise).

All menu settings currently saved to user banks (U1 to U5) will be cleared and returned to their defaults.

[NOTE]

An all clear also clears the disc information of memory banks (A to E).
