The DL1500 is the key to the system's operation. It is a dedicated remote controller with
most commonly used functions available on dedicated keys. If you break down the
DL1500's panel into its various sections, it really is quite straightforward to understand and
use.

TOP PANEL

Across the top panel of the DL1500 are the track select keys. These allow you to turn
tracks on and off for playback as well as select tracks for editing and recording. The
GROUP keys allow you to store and recall up to five combinations of track settings. HELP
and NAME keys are also in this area.
The 20-segment METERS normally show the levels of the stereo MIX A and MIX B
outputs but may also be selected to show input levels and track levels.
The LCD displays information concerning the status of the system at any time as well as
being used to provide soft keys, the function of which changes according to the system's
status.
The TIMECODE DISPLAY shows the current now time.
The floppy disk drive is used to load new operating systems as they become available. It
is also used to import EDLs from video editors for auto conforming.

MAIN PANEL

The UTILITIES keys give you access to functions such as DISK DIRECTORY, SYSTEM
settings, EXT. MACHINE, DSP and MIXER functions, etc.. The large amber SHIFT key
gives access to keys' sub-functions and these are shown in amber text beneath the keys.
The AUTOLOCATOR is a standard autolocator such as you would find on any well
specified multi-track recorder and offers 100 programmable memories, 100 'grab' markers
as well as the ability to go the start and end of projects and the IN, SYNC and OUT times
giving a total of 205 locate points for fast location to any point in a project.
The TRANSPORT keys provide the basic PLAY, STOP, REWIND, FAST FORWARD, etc..
They also offer special 'edit play' keys used when editing and these include PLAY TO,
PLAY FROM, PLAY OVER, etc..
