Security screws
The included security screws can be used to lock the CF card
slot covers.
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to install or remove the
screws.
Protect switch for SD cards
SD cards have write-protection switches.
Writable
Not writable
If you slide the protection switch to the “LOCK” position, you
cannot record or edit files on it. Unlock the write-protection if
you want to record or delete files on it, for example.
CAUTION
The unit will check all audio files on a write-protected SD
card every time the device is switched. As a result, it takes
longer to switch the device. Editing the timeline is not
possible, either.
About the display
Adjusting the display angle
Push the LCD TILT button to unlock the display, and then pull
the bottom of the display forward to adjust the angle.
Pull the bottom of the display until you hear a clicking sound.
To restore it to its flat position, push the LCD TILT button again
to unlock the display, and push the bottom of the display.
Push the bottom of the display until you hear a clicking sound.
CAUTION
Do not push the display screen itself.
Adjusting display and indicator brightness
Turn the DATA dial while pressing and holding the HOME key to
adjust the brightness of the color display, the PAUSE, REC and
PLAY keys, and the JOG [SHUTTLE], SD and CF indicators. Push
and turn the DATA dial while pressing and holding the HOME
key to adjust only the brightness of the color display.
Cautions related to display use
o The display can easily be scratched, so do not use pointed
objects, including fingernail tips, to touch it. Always touch
it with your fingers.
o Do not press the display forcefully with a finger or poke
it with a pen, toothpick or other pointed object. Doing so
could scratch the display or cause malfunction.
o The touch screen is made of film and glass. Do not apply
strong force to its surface. Doing so could break the glass.
o When using the display, do not put a hand on the panel or
push around the display forcefully. Doing so could prevent
accurate position detection.
o Do not place anything on top of the display or otherwise
put weight on the same place for a long time. Doing so
could cause the panel to warp or result in inaccurate
position detection.
