Section 4.5 - Storing and recalling user setups
4-4
If you have not assigned a menu to a function key,
the default (factory) menu-to-key assignments
will be used as follows:
4.4.1 Assigning menus to function keys
To assign a menu to a function key:
1) Use cursor keys and the
SELECT
key until you
see the menu you want to assign to a function
key.
2) Press the
PRESET
key [21]:
The “Shuttle Monitor” screen is an example only.
The current menu title will be displayed on the
bottom line of the display.
3) Press the function key to which you wish to
assign the menu.
To use the second “bank” of function keys, press
and hold down the
SHIFT
key [23] before pressing
the function key.
4.4.2 Recalling menus using the function
keys
1) Simply press the function key where you have
previously assigned the menu you want to
recall.
If you have not assigned a menu to the function
key that you press, the display will remain
unchanged.
2) If you used the
SHIFT
key [23] to assign the
menu to
F11
through
F20
, press and hold down
the
SHIFT
key before pressing the function key
to recall the “shifted” menu.
4.5 Storing and recalling user
setups
The RC-898 allows you to store and recall almost
all parameters set using the menu system, so the
same remote control unit can be used with a vari-
ety of different equipment setups with the mini-
mum of reconfiguration.
This is a great time-saver, as not only are the RC-
898’s parameters stored and recalled, but the set-
tings for the DTRS units connected to the RC-898
are also stored and recalled. In this way, up to six
DTRS units can be reconfigured to preset configu-
ration patterns with the press of one key.
4.5.1 Saving the current setup
1) From the top menu, move the cursor to menu
group F, and press
SELECT
:
2) Move the cursor to
Setup (as shown above),
and press
SELECT
:
As you can see, there are 10 user setups, numbered
from
0
through
9
, and a factory setup (
F
). Natu-
rally, you can reload the factory settings, but you
cannot overwrite them with your own settings; you
must choose one of the 10 user areas.
