We suggest that you take the time to look through this section and familiarize yourself with the basic contents, so that you have an idea of some of the options available to you. 3. 3 Auto cue A CUE LVL ? 3. 1 Basic principles of menu operations The auto cue facility allows you to cue the playback position automatically to the first frame where the audio level goes above a trigger threshold (see 4. 2. 12, "Cueing to the first audio position in a track"). This menu allows you to set the threshold. After the menu has been opened with the SHUTTLE wheel, the display changes: A CUE> -54dB 1 2 3 4 The menu system is entered using the MENU key [15]. Pressing this key brings up a menu in the display. The JOG/DATA dial [12] is used to select a menu. The SHUTTLE wheel [13] is used to open the menu selected in step 2. The JOG/DATA dial is used to select parameters and enter values for the menu. Turn the dial clockwise to increase values, and counterclockwise to decrease them. "On" and "off" values are selected by turning the SHUTTLE wheel clock wise and counterclockwise respectively (Y and N). A few menus have "sub-menus" which are selected using the JOG/DATA dial, and opened with the SHUTTLE wheel. When a menu item has been set in step 4, turn the SHUTTLE wheel to the right (Y) to enter the value and return to normal operation. There are nine sensitivity levels available for use with this function: ­24 dB, ­30 dB, ­36 dB, ­42 dB, ­48 dB, ­54 dB, ­60 dB, ­66 dB and ­72 dB. R This setting is also used with the Sound Synchro function as the threshold above which recording starts (or below which the unit drops into record ready mode). 5 6 7 3. 4 Frame display FR DSPL SEL? The frames part of the time display can be turned on or off. There are either 86 or 87 MD frames per second. After the menu has been opened with the SHUTTLE wheel, the display changes: FR DSPL>ON To "escape" from menu mode without making a setting, turn the SHUTTLE wheel to the left (N) or press the MENU key. The only two options here are on and off. 3. 5 Jog loop length JOG LENGTH ? 3. 2 Pitch control PITCH CONT ? Pitch control can be set ±9. 9%, in 0. 1% steps. After the menu has been opened with the SHUTTLE wheel, the display changes: PITCH> 0. 0% As explained in 4. 2. 14, "Jog mode", when locating a point using the JOG dial, playback is looped, starting at the provisional jog point. This menu allows you to set the length of the jog loop. The default value is 16 frames (about 0. 2 second). [. . . ] If this error persists, contact your TASCAM dealer.
