Using an external VGA display to operate the VS-2480

An externally connected VGA display and mouse can be used to operate the
VS-2480/2480CD.
For details on the functions and names of the knobs and buttons that appear in the
VGA display, refer to "Objects shown in the VGA display" (p. 3).

To switch the controlling display

When using the VS-2480/2480CD, you need to select the display that you want to
use as the graphical user interface. If you are controlling the parameters using the
built-in LCD (liquid crystal display), the VGA display will be display-only. If you
want to use the external VGA display to control the parameters, you must switch the
graphical user interface to VGA.

To use the VGA display for control

Press [UTILITY].
2.
Press the PAGE 1 tab [F1 (SYSTEM)].
3.
Press [F2 (Param2)].
4.
Move the cursor to "OPERATION TARGET,"
and turn the VALUE dial to select "VGA." Now
you can control the parameters using the VGA
display.

To use the internal LCD for control

In the upper part of the VGA display, click "UTILITY."
2.
Click "SYSTEM PARAMETER." The system parameter screen will appear.

Click the "OPERATION TARGET" parameter "LCD." Now you can
control the parameters using the LCD.

To instantly switch the controlling display

Here's how you can instantly switch control between the two displays:
• Hold down [SHIFT] and press [UTILITY].
If you press these two buttons when the LCD is the controlling display, the
controlling display is changed to VGA. Simply repeat the procedure to return
control to the LCD.
Hereafter, operations such

while you hold down
