10 - SYSTEM SETUP
NOTE: When tracks are selected for edit, SHIFT+CURSOR UP/DOWN will toggle you
between zooming in to the tracks selected for edit and the last selected vertical zoom
level.
Pressing F1/F2 - OPTIONS - will display this screen:
The parameters are:
VIEW BOX
NOW POSITION
RULER
SCROLL DIRECTION
In both SHOW pages, you may reset the parameters to their default settings using the
DEFAULTS soft key on F5/F6.
Press either EXIT or SHIFT+SYSTEM again to close this screen.
These are the basic settings one needs to make for operating the DD1500. We will look at
other SYSTEM functions later on.

When switched to MANUAL, as you zoom in/out, if certain
tracks are selected for editing, the monitor will automatically
show the selected tracks as you zoom in. For example, if
tracks 1, 2, 4 and 12 are selected, zooming in to eight
tracks will show tracks, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12; when you
zoom in to four tracks, tracks 1, 2, 4 and 12 will be shown
and zooming in to 2 tracks will, of course, show tracks 1
and 2. In many cases when editing, you want to zoom in
on the tracks you are editing.
With this function switched to AUTO, as soon as you select
a track for editing, the GRID will automatically zoom in to it.
Any further tracks you select for edit will be shown on the
monitor. For example, if you select track 3 for editing, the
monitor will zoom in to one track, track 3. If you then select
track 4, two tracks will be shown on the monitor, tracks 3
and 4. If you then select track 8, that too will be shown.
Allows you to select what is viewed in the box below the
GRID. You may select between CHANNEL METERS and
LCD DISPLAY. CHANNEL METERS will show the tracks'
output levels; LCD DISPLAY will show a duplication of the
DL1500's LCD.
You may set the vertical NOW marker anywhere on the
GRID. 50% is central, lower percentages move it further to
the left, higher percentages to the right.
You can select whether the ruler across the top of the
GRID will be static or will scroll with the project.
You may set the direction in which the project scrolls. You
may select LEFT<RIGHT or LEFT>RIGHT - the arrow
indicates the direction.
