The Display
Shortcut features a backlit LCD display that provides extensive information about
machine operations. The display can show monaural or stereo waveforms, listings with up to
seven lines of text, or a combination of graphics and text. At times the display will become
interactive and show options to assist the user. A control is provided on the rear panel to adjust
the viewing angle (contrast). More detail about the display is presented throughout the manual.

Zoom In and Zoom Out
While editing, Z OOM I N will magnify the waveform display to allow more accurate
editing. Conversely, Z OOM O UT expands the time scale. Four levels of resolution are
available, showing a screen time display of 2, 5, 10 and 20 seconds. Z OOM operates only in the
Edit mode, not during Record or Play.
Holding the A LT key while using the Z OOM I N and Z OOM O UT keys enlarges the
waveform to show low level signals in greater detail, or reduces magnification so loud signals
are fully displayed.
