Mastering the NAME Input Box
There are many times when using your PSR-2x00 when you will be
asked to name (or rename) a file. The procedure for doing
so is the same everywhere, so it is explained in detail here.
When a new name is called for, you will be presented with the Name
Input screen as shown here. There are 8 columns
of options in two rows. You select the option you want by
using the numbered buttons under the main screen. . The buttons
Below the numbers, [1B] through [8B], select the options you see
on the bottom row, [ICON] through [CANCEL]. The buttons Above the
numbers, [1A] through [8A], select the options shown on the row
above the bottom row, [CASE] through [OK].
Moving the Cursor
The cursor, shown as an "underscore" character, will
appear after the last letter in the name. It shows where the
next letter you input will be placed. Look very carefully,
that cursor can be hard to see. You can move the cursor by
using the Data Entry Dial. Turn the dial counter clockwise
and the cursor moves left; turn it clockwise and the cursor moves
right. Press the [DELETE] button [7B] to delete the character
just to the left of the cursor. Continuously pressing [DELETE]
will keep deleting characters if you want to clear the screen and
start fresh.
Entering Characters
By now you may be use to pressing the numbered
buttons below the screen to select an option. In the case of the
NAME Input Box, however, the use is the numbered buttons is a little
bit different. The option for button [3A] is shown as [ABC2]. If
you press [3A], you will get the letter "A". How about
"B"? Well, press [3A] a second time and the "A"
changes to a "B". Press it again and you now have "C".
One more press and you have "2". So, you actually have
4 characters that you can input by using button [3A]. Just keep
pressing [3A] until you get the letter or number you want.
For example, to enter the title "WAVE" for
a song, you would press [4B] to enter a "W". Next,
you would press [3A] to enter the "A". Because you
are choosing a different letter group, the cursor automatically
puts the "A" in after the "W". Now you
need to enter a "V". The V is located in the
group labeled [TUV8]. That group is accessed with the [3B]
button. When you press [3B] once, you get the "T".
Press [3B] again and you now get the "U". Press
[3B] once more and, finally, you have your "V".
So, as mentioned above, for letters that aren't the first letter
in the group, you simply keep pressing the appropriate button and
the display will cycle through the characters that are shown for
that group. Now, press [4A] twice to get to the final "E".
When you have completed your name, press [8A] to select [OK].
Well, that wasn't too difficult. But
how about a name like "BACK HOME"? The first three characters
all come from the [ABC2] group. Once you enter the "B", how
do you enter the "A"? Here is where you have to use that data
entry dial. Press [3A] twice to enter the "B". Now,
carefully move the data wheel just a little bit to advance the cursor
over to the next position. You can now press [3A] again to
enter the "A". Use the data dial once more to advance to the
next position and press [3A] three times to get to the "C".
Finally, press [6A] twice to enter the final "K".
Upper and Lowercase Characters
What if you wanted to enter upper and lower
case characters, for example, "Back" instead of "BACK"? Press
the [1A] button and the [CASE] option switches to [case]
and all the alphabet characters are now shown in lowercase.
Press [1A] again to go back to uppercase. Note: switching
case will also automatically advance the cursor. So, if you
were in uppercase, you could press [3A] twice to enter the first
"B", then press [1A] to switch to lowercase. Now press [3A]
again and you enter the "a" -- you did not have to use the data
dial. Of course, to enter the next character, a lowercase
"c", you will have to use the data entry dial.
To enter a blank space, press [5B].
If you press [5B] again, you will get a zero, "0". You can
select numbers just like you selected characters. There is
a number included in most of the character sets. The first
character set, [2A], let's you select either a period, a comma,
a dash, or the number one. But what if you wanted to include
a question mark in your file name. Where is that?
It's in [6B]. This option actually includes many, many  characters.
So when you select [6B], you get yet another screen from which you
can select the special character you want. Use the data entry
dial to move the cursor to the desired character and then press
[8A] to indicate [OK].
If you make a mistake entering any characters,
you can always use the [DELETE] option to delete entries.
If you only messed up one character in a string of characters, simply
use the data dial to move the cursor to that character and then
enter the correct character.
Selecting Icons
You may have noticed that many of the "files" in the PSR-2x00 also
have a little icon next to the file name. For example, if
you select a GrandPiano voice, you see a miniature piano as an icon.
A trumpet will have a small trumpet as an icon. In some cases,
you can select an icon to go along with your filename. To
choose an icon, select the [ICON] option [1B]. When you do,
you will be presented with an icon selection screen. There
are 5 page of icons, each page showing 50 selections. You can use
[BACK] and [NEXT] to go between the various pages. On any individual
page, use the [3] buttons to move up and down the list of icons
and the [4] and [5] buttons to move left and right. The cursor is,
again, hard to see but if you look closely, you will it. The icon
currently under the cursor is also shown in the bottom left-hand
corner of the screen. Examine the figure below to see how to navigate
this screen and pick your icon.
