Save/Load of Song data (VF80EX)
Flashing
Use the [JOG] dial to select the program to be saved
and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the " Save Length " screen.
Initially, the recorded time length of the selected
program (ABS 00 to REC END) is shown as the time
length of data saving. Normally you do not need to
edit the length but you may edit it to the desired value
if needed.
Flashing
For example, if the actual recorded time is 9 min. 00
sec., you can make the length of the data to be saved
shorter or longer than 9 min. 00 sec., as long as the
length does not exceed 59 min.59 sec.
The initially displayed value here is the length of the
Real track, therefore, as noted earlier, you may edit
the value to match the length of the Additional track
if it is longer.
To edit the save length
Use the [CURSOR] keys to move the flashing field
between "minutes" and "seconds" .
Use the [JOG] dial to set the value for the flashing
field.
Flashing
Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the screen for selecting tracks to
be saved.
Select tracks to be saved.
Use the [CURSOR] keys to move the blinking field
between " From " and " To ".
Use the [JOG] dial to set the track number for the
blinking field.
For the " From " field, you can select from 1, 9 and 17 .
For the " To " field, you can select a higher value than
the "From" field value among 8, 16 and 24 .
Accordingly, you can set " Save Track Area " to one of
the following.
" From 1 To 8 ", " From 1 to 16 ", " From 1 To 24 ", " From 9 To
16 ", " From 9 To 24 ", and " From 17 To 24 "
<Note>
When you save tracks including Additional tracks,
read <Notes for saving data using the S/PDIF digital
signal> on page 107 before executing the save
operation.
After selecting tracks, press the [ENTER/YES] key
again.
The display shows " Rec Start Recorder! " together with
the program and tracks to be saved, and " Sure? "
flashes. If you are sure to start saving data to the
recorder, go on to the next step.
After checking all preparations on the external
recorder are made, start it recording.
It may be a good idea to put a Start-ID (for DAT) or
set a locate memory at the starting position so that
you can easily find the position when you load the
data later.
Press the [ENTER/YES] key immediately after the
external recorder starts recording.
The display shows something like the one below. After
a few seconds, the unit starts saving the data and
"Wait
time" starts counting down.
For the first several seconds, the VF80EX transmits
the pilot signal that will be a reference for locating
the tape position during the load operation, and the
actual data saving starts from the position at which
"
Wait Time " starts counting down.
Data is saved in 2-track unit. When the data saving is
completed, "
Completed! " appears on the screen and
the VF80EX stops.
<Note>
If you interrupts saving before completing, the saved
data is invalid.
Stop the external recorder.
Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key)
repeatedly until exiting the setup mode.
• To cancel each operation or to return to the previous
screen before pressing the
[ENTER/YES] key, press the
[EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key). Each press of the
key returns to the previous screen level and finally
exits the setup mode.
