3 - Menu items

 

The selections that can be made using the MD-801’s 
menu system affect the operation of many other 
functions. We suggest that you take the time to look 
through this section and familiarize yourself with the 
basic contents, so that you have an idea of some of 
the options available to you.

 

3.1 Basic principles of menu 

 

operations

 

1

 

The menu system is entered using the 

 

MENU

 

 

key 

 

[15]

 

. Pressing this key brings up a menu in 

the display.

 

2

 

The 

 

JOG/DATA

 

 dial 

 

[12]

 

 is used to select a 

menu.

 

3

 

The 

 

SHUTTLE

 

 wheel 

 

[13]

 

 is used to open the 

menu selected in step 2.

 

4

 

The 

 

JOG/DATA

 

 dial is used to select parame-

ters and enter values for the menu. Turn the dial 
clockwise to increase values, and counterclock-
wise to decrease them. 

 

5

 

“On” and “off” values are selected by turning 
the 

 

SHUTTLE

 

 wheel clock wise and counter-

clockwise respectively (

 

Y

 

 and 

 

N

 

). 

 

6

 

A few menus have “sub-menus” which are 
selected using the 

 

JOG/DATA

 

 dial, and opened 

with the 

 

SHUTTLE

 

 wheel.

 

7

 

When a menu item has been set in step 4, turn 
the 

 

SHUTTLE

 

 wheel to the right (

 

Y

 

) to enter 

the value and return to normal operation.

To “escape” from menu mode without making a set-
ting, turn the 

 

SHUTTLE

 

 wheel to the left (

 

N

 

) or 

press the 

 

MENU

 

 key.

 

3.2 Pitch control

 

Pitch control can be set ±9.9%, in 0.1% steps. The 
default setting is 0.0%.

After the menu has been opened with the 

 

SHUTTLE

 

 

wheel, the display changes:

See 4.2.13, "Varispeed mode" for details of pitch 
control operations.

 

3.3 Auto cue

 

The auto cue facility allows you to cue the playback 
position automatically to the first frame where the 
audio level goes above a trigger threshold (see 
4.2.12, "Cueing to the first audio position in a 
track"). This menu allows you to set the threshold. 
The default setting is –54 dB.

After the menu has been opened with the 

 

SHUTTLE

 

 

wheel, the display changes:

There are nine sensitivity levels available for use 
with this function: –24 dB, –30 dB, –36 dB, –42 dB, 
–48 dB, –54 dB, –60 dB, –66 dB and –72 dB.

This setting is also used with the Sound Synchro 
function as the threshold above which recording 
starts (or below which the unit drops into record 
ready mode).

 

3.4 Frame display

 

The frames part of the time display can be turned on 
or off. There are either 86 or 87 MD frames per sec-
ond. The default setting is on.

After the menu has been opened with the 

 

SHUTTLE

 

 

wheel, the display changes:

The only two options here are on and off.

 

3.5 Jog loop length

 

As explained in 4.2.14, "Jog mode", when locating a 
point using the 

 

JOG

 

 dial, playback is looped, start-

ing at the provisional jog point.

This menu allows you to set the length of the jog 
loop. The default value is 16 frames (about 0.2 
second).

After the menu has been opened with the 

 

SHUTTLE

 

 

wheel, the display changes:
