Screen operations
After using the MENU button or a dedicated button
to open a screen, use the screen in the following
manner.
This section describes the basic operation procedures.
Depending on the screen that is open the assign-
ments of the function buttons might differ.
NOTE
During playback or recording, you cannot open
screens that might access the SD card. If you try
to open one of these screens, a
Not Stopped
(the recorder is not stopped) pop-up message will
appear.
Function buttons
The currently assigned function of each button is
shown above it at the bottom of the screen. In this
manual, for convenience, we refer to the function
buttons as F1, F2, F3 and F4 in order from the left.
BACK
appears above the F1 button, showing that this
is the function assigned to this button on the screen.
In this manual, we write this as “F1 [BACK] button”.
In a similar manner the assignments for the F2, F3
and F4 buttons are
EXEC
,
INS
and
DEL
in that order.

(below) those currently shown, a 5 and b icon
appears at the top (bottom) of the scrollbar in
the right half of the screen. (In the
MENU
screen
shown above, the b shows that there is at least
one more item below
