Before Using the Unit
Setting the Line Mode
This unit is shipped with the line mode still unset.
Therefore you need to set the line mode before using the
unit. (The unit cannot be used unless the line mode is set.)
Once it is set, the line mode is retained even when the unit
is powered off.
Setting procedure
Use the following procedure to set the line mode.
1
Power the unit on.
“Select ----” appears in the time data display.
2
With the SHUTTLE button held down, rotate the jog
dial.
When you rotate the jog dial in the forward direction,
the “----” part of the display changes in the sequence
525U > 525J > 625. When you rotate it in the reverse
direction, the display changes in the sequence 625 >
525J > 525U.
3
When the desired setting appears, release the
SHUTTLE button.
“Push SET !!” appears.
To redo the selection
Repeat step 2.
4
Press the SET button.
“Turn OFF !!” appears.
5
Power the unit off, and then power it on again.
The selected line mode becomes available for use.
You can change the setting made with this procedure
by using basic menu item 013 “525/625 SYSTEM
SELECT.” See 8-2-2 “Basic Menu Operations” (page
95) for more information about how to make basic
menu settings.
