Naming Files, Projects, Marks, Etc - Tascam DV-RA1000HD Owner's Manual

Naming files, projects, marks, etc.

Using a keyboard
When recording on DVD, the
easiest way to name files (see "Renaming a file" on
page 47) and projects (see "Changing the name of a
project" on page 44), and create project notes (see
"Adding notes to a project" on page 43), etc. is using
a computer PS/2 keyboard (US standard layout) con-
nected to the front panel of the DV-RA1000HD.
WARNING
Do not connect or disconnect such a keyboard to
or from the DV-RA1000HD with the power turned on
as this may damage the DV-RA1000HD or the key-
board.
Basically, you can use this keyboard in the usual way.
Start editing titles with the keyboard by pressing the
keyboard's left or right cursor key (or
DV-RA1000HD).
Finish by pressing the keyboard's [Enter] key.
NOTE
You may experience a few small incompatibili-
ties with punctuation symbols, etc. if you use a
keyboard that does not conform to the standard
101-key US layout (or the Japanese 10-key layout).
Working without a keyboard

or file) is shown on the display, highlight it so that it is
shown in inverse video.
Press the (right) key to start the naming process.
