Editing Format knob lists
Stepping through all of the available formats using the Format knob can be time
consuming. This is particularly true if you regularly use only a few formats that may be
scattered throughout the list. You can set up the 802 to show only the formats you want, in
the order you want, when you turn the Format knob. The 802 maintains a list of these
formats in non-volatile memory, and you can edit the list to include formats you have
created and to remove any unneeded formats. You can edit the Format knob list using the
internal editor or the command line interface; however, the most convenient way to edit the
list and create custom knob lists is through VGM. Please refer to the VGM online help for
instructions on creating and editing format knob lists.
The default Format knob list is named fmt. In addition to editing this list, you can also
create new lists and name them to reflect their uses at your site.
