Audio CD playback mode
<Notes>
• You cannot play back an audio CD which is copy-protected.
• Never try to play back a disc which is not an audio CD (CD-DA). This may damage the VF80EX.
• In the audio CD playback mode, you can use functions such as locate, scrub, loop and effect editing, as with
internal HDD playback. However, note that the access speed is not guaranteed.
Switching the playback mode
When turning the power on, the VF80EX always starts
up in the internal HDD playback mode. In the
following description, it is assumed that the optional
CD-R/RW drive is installed to the VF80EX and an audio
CD (burned using the VF80EX or on the market) is
inserted to the drive.
• When the HDD is stopped, press the [WAVE FORM SCRUB/
CD PLAY] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key.
After the associated warning message as shown below
appears, the playback mode changes
Executing the above
operation alternatively switches the playback mode.
<Caution>
When switching the playback mode, make sure that the
VF80EX is not accessing the CD-R/RW disc.

Available functions in the audio CD playback mode
In the audio CD playback mode, the following
functions are available.
In the audio CD playback mode, only the [TRACK
STATUS/TRACK SEL] keys for tracks 1, 2 and
[MASTER] are lit, while the other [TRACK STATUS/
TRACK SEL] keys are unlit, showing that only the
faders for track 1, 2 and [MASTER] are effective.
This means that the playback level of the audio CD is
adjusted using the faders for tracks 1, 2 and [MASTER].
• Normal playback
You can play back an audio CD with the same
manner as with a program in the internal HDD. You
can control the playback level using the faders for
tracks 1, 2 and [MASTER].
<Note>
If you press the [PLAY] key, the key indicator flashes
for a while. This shows that the system is in
preparation for audio CD playback. When it is ready,
playback starts.
• Track skip
If an audio CD contains more than one track,
pressing [LOCATE >>I ] or [LOCATE I<< ] key skips
a track.
By pressing the key,
“Locate: MARK**” (** shows the
mark number) is shown on the display, and the
playback position skips (locates) to the beginning
of the appropriate track.
• Loop function
By storing the loop start and end points correctly,
you can use the loop playback function (which
repeats playback between the specified points).
* For details about the loop function, see page 59
in the owner’s manual.
If you are going to carry out any function other than the
following, a warning message is shown and the operation
is ignored (for example, if you press the [AUTO PUNCH]
key,
“[WARNING!] Void Key CD PLAYER” is shown.
By switching the playback mode from the “internal HDD playback mode” to the “audio CD playback mode”, you
can play back audio CDs created by the VF80EX (or commercially available audio CDs) using the built-in CD-R/
RW drive.
