The VR800 displays the sampling frequency.
If the sampling frequency of the program is different
from the setting for the incoming signal, the indicator
flashes. If the sampling frequency of the incoming
S/P DIF digital signal is different from the setting,
both [DIGITAL] and [44.1kHz] flash.
Lights up to indicate that MTC is input from an
external MIDI device to the VR800.
Lights up when the VR800 enters locate point (edit

The level meter shows the recorder output level and the
recording level for tracks 1~8.

Display when the power is turned on
When you turn on the power to the VR800 and the
connected external SCSI drive (a formatted removable disk
or hard disk), the display shows the [Initial...] message,
[Current Dr], the name of the connected current drive, then
recording mode (Master 8ch, Master 4ch, or ADAC 8ch),
and finally the top position of the disk in the time base
(ABS, MTC, or BAR/BEAT/CLK) used in the last program
before you turned the power off.
The following example indicates that the VR800 started with
the ABS time base used in program 1.
The VR800 uses a liquid crystal display which integrates a 9-digit/35-dot message section, 7-segment display section, and
level meters. The level meters indicate the output level of tracks 1-8.
The time display shows various information in different units, such as ABS time (absolute time), MTC (MIDI timecode), BAR/
BEAT/CLK (bar/beat/clock), and makes it easy to check the recorder’s current time. The message display shows various
messages required to operate the VR800, and offers interactive operation. This section describes display functions along with
examples.
