Front panel (part 1)
We divide the front panel into three parts and describe names and functions of controls for each
section.
* Some keys have the secondary function which is available when the SHIFT indicator
is lit, while the primary function is available when the SHIFT indicator is unlit. In this
manual, we sometimes say “when SHIFTed” and “when unSHIFTed” instead of “when
the SHIFT indicator is lit” and “when the SHIFT indicator is unlit” respectively.
1. [POWER] switch
Turns on or off the main power of the PD-6.
The switch is fitted back from the panel surface in order not to switch it
accidentally.
<Note>
If the [PANEL LOCK] switch is set to the “LOCK” position, you cannot turn off
the power.
2. [SHIFT] key/indicator
This key makes the shift mode active (the indicator is lit) or inactive (the
indicator is unlit). If you press a key which provides its SHIFTed function
while the shift mode is active, the PD-6 goes into the SHIFTed function which is
labeled under the key. To enter to another mode, press the [EXIT] key to quit
the mode and carry out the same procedure.
<Example>
By pressing the [CONTRAST/TC SETUP] key while the shift mode is active, you
can make settings for recording/playback time code.
3. [CONTRAST/TC SETUP] key
This key has primary (unSHIFTed) and secondary (SHIFTed) functions.
• When unSHIFTed:
By pressing this key, you can adjust the display contrast using the [SEL] dial.
After adjusting the contrast, pressing the [ENTER] key stores the setting.
• When SHIFTed:
Activates the TC Setup mode, in which you can make the necessary settings for
recording and playing back time code (see page 81). To exit the TC Setup
mode, press the [EXIT] key.
