The virtual front panel (VFP)
The DV-RA1000 allows access to many functions
through the virtual front panel, providing a graphical
representation of many of the keys and controls that
might be hardware switches on other units.
Note that many of these functions are hardware keys
on the remote control unit.
To launch the virtual front panel
1 From the home screen, press the ENTER key.
The virtual front panel appears.
There are two more “soft switches” to the
right of the initial screen. Keep pressing the
F4
key to see these (go back to the original screen
using the
F3 key).
• Press CANCEL to exit the virtual front panel.
Use the arrow keys to move around the front panel,
and the
F5 ( PUSH ) key to turn the “soft switches” on
and off.
Some soft switches, when turned on, present a menu
of choices, but others just toggle between on and off.
The switches are grouped by function:
ARDY (auto-ready) Is used to switch auto-ready
playback mode on and off. See “Auto ready” on
page 25.
ACUE (auto-cue) Is used to cue up playback to
the first point on the track where the audio level goes
above a preset threshold. See “Auto cue” on page 24.
ASPC (auto-space) Automatically puts spaces
between tracks on playback.
SNGL (single) Enters single-track playback mode.
RPT (repeat) Sets the playback repeat mode
between OFF (off), ALL (all tracks of the disc are
repeated) and 1Tr (the current track is repeated).
PGM (program) Turns programmed playback on
and off, and allows setting of the programmed play-
back mode (“Programmed playback” on page 23).
ATRK (auto-track) Turns the auto track function
on and off when recording (“Auto track increment”
on page 26).
RMODE (recording mode) Switches the PCM
DVD recording mode between “normal” and “assem-
ble” modes (see “Recording mode” on page 35).
MONO Turns mono monitoring on and off.
PITCH Allows speed and pitch to be varied by ±6%
(see “Pitch change” on page 24).
NSD (noise-shaped dithering) Allows dither-
ing to be turned on and off (only when recording
CDs) when reducing the bit length from 24 to 16 bits.
See “Dithering” on page 27.
OSC (oscillator) Allows a line-up oscillator signal
to be output (“Monitoring” on page 26).
FINALIZE Finalizes CD-R and CD-RW discs, writ-
ing the TOC, and allowing them to be played on reg-
ular recorders (“Finalizing discs” on page 27).
UNFINALIZE Removes the TOC from CD-RW
discs, allowing further recording on them (“Unfinal-
izing discs” on page 28).
ERASE Erases a track or tracks from CD-RW discs,
allowing them to be used again.
