3 – Basic principles

The “home” screen

The DV-RA1000 has two types of “home screen”,

depending on whether a CD or DVD disc is being

used.

TIP

These screens are often accessible from other screens by

pressing the

key (which is then marked as

HOME

the display).

Naming files, projects, marks, etc.

Using a keyboard When recording on DVD, the

easiest way to name files (“Renaming a file” on

page 36) and projects (“Changing the name of a

project” on page 34), and create project notes (“Add-

ing notes to a project” on page 33), etc. is using a

computer PS/2 keyboard (US standard layout) con-

nected to the front panel of the DV-RA1000.

WARNING

Do not connect or disconnect such a keyboard to or

from the DV-RA1000 with the power turned on as this

may damage the DV-RA1000 and/or the keyboard.

Basically, you can use this keyboard in the usual way,

including some punctuation characters for notes, but

punctuation is not available for titles of projects and

files. The [Delete] and [Backspace] keys work as you

expect.

Start editing titles with the keyboard by pressing the

keyboard’s left or right cursor key (or

F3 or F4 on the

DV-RA1000).

Finish by pressing the keyboard’s [Enter] key.

NOTE

You may experience a few small incompatibilities with

punctuation symbols, etc. if you use a keyboard that

does not conform to the standard 101-key US layout (or

the Japanese 106-key layout).

Working without a keyboard However, if

such a keyboard is not available, you can use the

front panel to name disc items.

When a screen allowing you to name an item (project

or file) is shown on the display, highlight it so that it

is shown in inverse video.

Press the

F4 (right) key to start the naming process.

Use the dial to scroll through the set of currently

available characters.

The available character sets are changed using the

(up) and

F2 (down) keys. These cycle through CAPS

(all UPPERCASE letters from

A through Z and

space),

SMALL (lowercase letters from a through z and

space) and

NUM (digits from 0 through 9 and space).

Move backwards and forwards using the

F3 and F4

keys. Press

ENTER when done.

NOTE

Accented characters and punctuation are not available

for names.

Adding project notes Notes are done in the

same way, except that here there are no character sets

which can be selected, and punctuation, etc. is avail-

able.

The arrow keys act as cursor keys to navigate around

the text block.

Use the

ENTER key to add carriage returns and the

CANCEL key as a delete key.

Use the wheel to scroll through the numbers, punctu-

ation characters and uppercase and lowercase letters

available for the text.

Note that the text can contain more lines than the size

of the screen, and can be scrolled up or down.

When you’ve finished entering text, press and hold

the

ENTER key for about a second to confirm the

entry before writing it to disc (see “Important note on

the file system” on page 31).
