HDR 24/96

Pressing the SELECT button labeled “

OK” in the display performs the menu operation in

process. There’s usually a button labeled “Cancel” should you decide not to complete an

operation. Pressing any menu button
will also back out without performing
the operation.

(-)DEC and (+)INC Buttons
The (-)DEC and (+)INC (decrement
and increment) buttons are used to
modify an alphabetical or numerical
parameter displayed in the LCD such
as Project Name or Time Code Offset.
If the red LEDs above the buttons are
glowing, they’re active. Generally you
can tell that a character can be edited
with the (-)DEC and (+)INC buttons if
it’s sitting above a pair of

<< >>

characters. The Select buttons below
the

<< >> characters move a V

cursor through the text or numeric
field, indicating which character will
be changed by pressing the (-)DEC and
(+)INC buttons.

Navigation Behavior

Remote 48 Menu Navigation section (LCD and System

Controls)

Any time you’re working in a menu,
LED’s will illuminate above any

button that does something within that menu. Some operations, particularly those that could
be disastrous like deleting data that can’t be recovered, will offer you a

Cancel option,

allowing you to quit without changing anything.

Depending on the menu and how many layers it has,

Exit or Cancel may bring you back

to a previous menu or all the way back to the top. You can also leave the menu by pressing
the button that got you there (its red LED will be on to remind you where you are), or by
pressing the Page Left < button when the

← symbol isn’t displayed on the LCD. You need

not completely exit one menu before moving to another; just press another menu button to
jump into a new menu.

NOTE: Whether or not a

Cancel or Exit prompt appears above a SELECT button, it’s

okay to jump directly to one of the other top-level menus without responding to a prompt.
It’s a quick “bail out” in case you’ve discovered that you’re in the wrong menu for what you
want to accomplish. Skipping an

OK, Cancel, or Exit prompt will not harm or hang the

HDR24/96.
