Chapter 3:
Panel Controls and Connectors
As you have almost certainly noticed, the ATR-1a has relatively few controls.
We’ll cover them here.
The Front Panel
1 Non-existent Power Switch That’s right. There isn’t one. The ATR-1a is
designed to remain on continuously. You can, of course, plug it in to a
switched power strip or power conditioner if you like, but leaving it on
all the time will do it no harm.
2 LCD An easy-to-read 20 character by 2 line display. You can set the
optimum viewing angle in the System menu (See Chapter 4).
3 Data Entry Knob As the name implies, turn it to enter data.
4 CURSOR Buttons The cursor buttons let you move the cursor in the LCD
display from field to field so that you can change the field’s value using
the knob.
5 PROGRAMS Button Press this button to edit a Program or Song. It is
state-sensitive. That is, if you are in Program Mode when you press this
button, you will be taken to the Program Edit pages. If you are in Song
Mode, you will be taken to the Song Edit pages. The accompanying LED
lights to remind you that you are in an edit mode. When the LED is lit,
press the PROGRAMS buttom again to exit the Program Mode.
6 PAGE Button While in Program, Song or System Edit Mode, press this
button to cycle sequentially through the available edit pages. You can
only move in one direction, but there are so few pages in each mode
that you are never more than a few presses away from where you want
to be.
