[18] LCD Display:The liquid crystal display consists of two lines of twenty characters each that show various operator messagesdepending upon the active panel/display state. Both lines of the LCD can also show various system messagesaccording to the operating state.When not accessing menus, the top line shows the position of the playhead. The bottom line shows a time codevalue that can be used for functions such as memory locations, IN/Out points, offsets, etc.LOCATOR SECTION[15] CLEAR/CANCELThis key performs both a clear and a cancel function, operating in almost all modes and situations. CLEAR [15]has no shifted function. In Setup, pressing CLEAR [15] generally returns a changed value back to the previouslystored value, or exits completely. In the Error state pressing CLEAR [15] will clear the error message and returnthe MX-2424 to the previous operating state. During memory location trim or track slip, pressing the CLEAR [15]key returns the memory locations to their previous values (before the slip or trim operation changed them). Duringtime code entry in the Normal state, CLEAR [15] returns the time code to a zero value. For most other operations,CLEAR [15] will return the MX-2424 to the Normal state.[16, 71] CAPTUREThe capture key places the time code location of the Play Head at the time CAPT [16, 71] was pressed into thebottom line of the LCD [18]. After capturing the time code value the CAPT [16, 71] LED will flash until a targetkey is pressed to determine the memory location to store the value. This action can be done at any time duringnormal operation of the MX-2424 (including play and record). To complete the capture operation, either press atarget key or press CLEAR [15] to cancel. CAPT [16, 71] may be pressed repeatedly, continually updating thecaptured value until a target is determined.[19] SHIFTWhere indicated with text above (or to the side of) a key, SHIFT [19] is used to provide an alternate operation forthe indicated key. The SHIFT [19] key latches when pressed and unlatches after the second key (function key) ispressed (which performs the operation). If held down while pressing the function key then the operation will beimmediately performed.(NOTE: Main operations for any key are indicated by the function printed directly on the key. Any key with anassociated LED uses the LED to indicate this main operation. LED’s do not indicate shifted operations.)[20] STORE/YESThis key is used to store locations into memory. Pressing STORE [20] then a numeric key sequence (00 through99) would store the location currently in the lower line of the display into the memory location represented by thenumeric key sequence.The following keys (or key combinations) also represent memory locations that can have values stored into them:From the MX-2424[30] IN[30] <SHIFT>IN<OFFSET>[31] OUTFrom the RC-2424[69] IN[70] OUT[78] OFFSET[75] IFT>PREV<REF>[76] T>NEXTYNCP>29
