TASCAM DA-78HR
4.3 Menus and sub-menus
When the unit is in shift mode, the REPEAT ( MENU )
key is the “gateway” to the menus. This key is used
to show the top level groups of the menu tree:
When the MENU key is pressed, one of this group
names is displayed on the screen and the unit enters
menu mode. When the
MENU key is pressed again,
the next menu group name in this list above is shown
(the list is “circular”, i.e. the first group name follows
the last in the list).
Pressing and holding down the SHIFT key and press-
ing the MENU key goes to the previous menu group,
following the order described above. Once again, the
list is regarded as “circular”.
Note that the titles of these top-level menu groups are
all followed by two dashes (
-- ), showing that there
are submenus “under” this level.
4.3.1 Exiting menu mode
To exit menu mode, either:
• turn off the shift mode (press the SHIFT key so that
its indicator is no longer flashing)
or
• enter another shifted function (except for the
shifted MENU or SUB MENU functions)
4.3.2 Sub-menus
When a menu is displayed, pressing the shifted
CHASE key ( SUB MENU ) brings up the sub-menu
items associated with that particular top-level menu
group.
There are two different ways of displaying sub-menu
items:
• one is that the name of the parameter to be
adjusted, and the current value of the parameter are
displayed together.
• the other way is to that the name of the parameter is
displayed for one second, and the display then
changes to the current value of the parameter (this
is when the parameter name and/or the value are
too long to be displayed together).
Pressing the SUB MENU key cycles through the list
of sub-menu items in a top-level menu group (the list
is regarded as circular).
Pressing and holding the SHIFT key and pressing the
SUB MENU key cycles through the sub-menu items
in the reverse order.
4.3.3 Adjusting parameter values
In menu mode, the AUTO MON and the ALL INPUT
keys perform the function of up and down keys (▲
and ▼) and they are used to change the values of
parameters in the sub-menu items.
As soon as the value of the parameter is changed on
the display, the parameter itself is changed (i.e. there
is no need to confirm changes with an ENTER key or
the equivalent).
If one of these keys is pressed and held down for half
a second, the key changes to a “repeat” mode. If the
key is held down for one second, the repeat mode
changes to a “fast repeat” mode, and the value of the
parameter changes faster.
4.3.4 Resetting parameters to default
values
To reset a parameter value to the default value, press
and hold down the ▲ key and immediately after-
wards, press the ▼ key, or vice versa.
