DATA ENTRY
The W5/W7 provides many convenient ways to access and manipulate data. The
various multi-purpose buttons, sliders and controllers allow you to go directly to any
function, in usually the touch of a single button, and rarely more than two or three. The
large LCD screen and other visual indicators give you ample feedback to always let you
know exactly where you are and what status the W5/W7 is in.
Selecting parameters and entering data entry is equally straightforward. The basic data
entry section is made up of a keypad, four-way cursor controls, increment and decrement
buttons and a jog/shuttle dial.
Following is a breakdown of the various indicators and data controls:
LCD SCREEN - The 240 x 64 dot Liquid Crystal Display with adjustable
contrast provides graphic, numeric and much other visual information de-
pending on the selected mode or current status.
TRACK BUTTONS 1 ~ 16 - In Song Play, Voice Play and Song Record
