Once a “look” has been created, simply Learn a Preset and all settings relating the desired “look” will be saved for later recall. NOTE: When referring to the “Butted Images” diagram below, be aware of the following. Since there are two scalers per screen, a PIP across a screen boundary uses all 4 scalers available.

The following illustrations show the how to determine the Row and Key numbers for these commands. Please note that since the FC-0608 is essentially a subset of the FC-0616 keyboard, KEY 9 through KEY 16 in ROW 1 through ROW 4 will be ignored by the KP, KR and KPR commands when executed on a FC-0608 controller. -
