General Operation
Introduction
The DSP-599zx provides you a well stocked tool box of powerful tools.
Each tool is designed to do a specific job and do it well. You need to care-
fully select the correct tool to fix the problem. Like any other tool box, you
should only use the tools you need.
Front Panel Operation
Three knobs, two with push buttons built in, and nine push-button keys on
the front panel control the DSP-599zx. One knob controls power and sets the
speaker and headphone output level of the DSP-599zx. The other two knobs,
with their built-in push buttons, select the filter and test generator frequen-
cies of the DSP-599zx.
The operator can also use the left knob to make a selection from a menu or
change a variable. Rotate the left knob to view the selections and press the
knob to select your choice.
In most situations, pressing the middle knob deactivates temporary settings.
It is also used to escape from menus without making a selection. You can
think of the pressing the button middle knob as pressing an Esc/Cancel but-
ton.
The push-buttons select the operating modes and features of the DSP-599zx.
Either an indicator LED or information on the liquid crystal display indi-
cates active modes. Note that pressing a push-button always selects the
mode indicated below the push-button.
