Menu operation basics
The basic procedures for making settings using the menu 
system are as follows.
1  When the display shows the usual playback 
information, activate the menu mode in which you 
can select menu items by using the unit’s front 
panel buttons or the included TASCAM RC-500 
remote control. 
When using the front panel buttons:
• 
 In shift mode 
(when the SHIFT indicator is lit), press the PITCH 
[MENU] knob. 
When using the remote control:
• 
 Press the MENU 
button. 
The center area of the display shows the menu item 
selected. The menu item that was selected the last 
time that the unit was in menu mode appears.

2  Use the unit’s front panel buttons or the remote 
control to conduct the following operation to select 
the desired menu item. 
When using the front panel buttons:
• 
 Turn the 
PITCH [MENU] knob or use the number buttons to 
select the menu item, and press the PITCH [MENU] 
knob to confirm. 
When using the remote control:
• 
 Use the PREV 
and NEXT buttons, as well as the number buttons to 
select the menu item, and press the ENTER button 
to confirm. 
NOTE
The menu item number blinks before it has been 
• 
confirmed. 
When using the number buttons input two digits 
• 
to select menu items. For example, to select menu 
number 
06
, press the 0 button followed by the 6 
button.
 
The following step (3) applies to all items except

When using the front panel buttons:
• 
 Turn the

the PITCH [MENU] knob to confirm the setting. 
When using the remote control:
• 
 Use the PREV 
and NEXT buttons to select the value and press the 
ENTER button to confirm the setting. 
NOTE
When a value different from the active setting is 
•

the usual playback information again.
To quit menu mode without changing a setting, press 
•
