This section indicates the status of digital input
signals. It continues to flash until you connect a
digital mixing console.
This indicator lights up to indicate that the VR800’s digital-in clock
is set to [ASYnC] (asynchronous). It also lights up after you for-
mat the disk. (Refer to the “SETUP mode” section in the main
User’s Guide for more information.)
(*1) Program:
You can set up a maximum of 99 Programs, limited by the available space on your hard disk. You can select
any Program to perform recording, playback, and edit (Program Select function). You may also name the
Programs to facilitate managing individual songs (Program Title Edit function). You can delete unnecessary
Programs (Program Delete function). For more information, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
(*2) Time Base:
This document and the Owner’s Manual use the word “Time Base” frequently. This refers to the units to
indicate the current transport position of the recorder, in other words, Absolute Time.
The VR800 also uses MTC (MIDI time code) and BAR/BEAT/CLK (bar/beat/clock). An MTC value is a relative
time value calculated by adding an MTC offset value to the ABS time value. BAR/BEAT/CLK indicates a
position within a song of VR800’s tempo map based on the MIDI clock position pointer. You can switch to any
of these units as follows. For more information on the Time Base, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
• When ABS Time Base appears on the display, hold down the TIME BASE SEL key repeatedly to switch among these units.
Press the EXIT/NO key to quit the setup mode.
One Program (*1) is automatically set up after the disk format operation, and “ABS 00M 00S 00F” (ABS time base-
*2) appears, indicating that the top of the program is located.
Now, you can start recording, playback, and editing on the VR800 using the SCSI disk, or E-IDE hard disk.
