Chapter 3: Common Tasks
If you completed the steps in Chapter 2, "Setup and Installation", you are ready to start learning MC Control. The following
important user interface items and terms are used in tasks:
• The Soft Knobs can be turned like a conventional knob and pressed like a switch to access an additional context-sensitive
function (some do not have a second function).
• The Soft Knobs access a hierarchical menu system. The beginning of the menu system, called the top-level knob set, lets you
choose among eight functions to control with the Soft Knobs.
• The Touchscreen has two rows of six Soft Key labels that correspond to the two rows of physical Soft Keys. Press the
SOFT KEYS < and > page keys to display additional Soft Key labels.
• Press and hold the SHIFT key, found at the bottom-left and -right of MC Control, to access the functions labeled in blue.
