SETUP mode (VF80EX)
Setting Digital input [“Digital In”]
Using the [Digital In] menu item, you can select whether or not assigning the S/PDIF digital signal received
from the S/P DIF DATA INPUT (COAXIAL) connector to tracks 7 and 8.
By setting this item to "On", you can record an S/P DIF signal from an external digital device (such as a CD, MD
or DAT player) to tracks 7 and 8 of the VF80EX.
• Default: Off
• Available options: On, Off
* This setting is common to all programs on the same disc.
* You cannot save the setting as a part of the song data.
* The setting remains effective even after you power off and then
on.
Setting Bar/beat resolution mode [“ Resolution”]
For example, we assume that the timebase on the screen
is set to "bar/beat/clock" and you are going to store
points at "001BAR 1 46CLK" and "002BAR 4 51CLK"
as the START and END points, respectively.
If " Resolution" is set to "Off", the points are stored as
they are above. If " Resolution" is set to "On", the points
are stored as below (note that we assume the time sig-
nature is set to 4/4).
001 bar 1 46 clk -> 001 bar 1 00 clk
(The clock value (46) is rounded down.)
002 bar 4 51 clk -> 003 bar 1 00 clk
(A clock value (51) is rounded up.)
Using the " Resolution" menu item, you can select on/off of the bar/beat resolution mode. By default, the
mode is set to "Off". By setting the mode to "On" and selecting the timebase on the screen to "bar/beat/clock",
the value in the clock field is rounded off when assigning a position to a memory key. In other words, stored
point data has beat accuracy. Using this function, you can store the IN, OUT, START, END or TO point on-the-
fly with beat accuracy, which allows to make editing (copy, move, paste, etc.) with beat accuracy.
On the Select Menu screen of the SETUP mode, se-
lect "ÅÙResolution" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The current setting starts flashing (by default, "Off" is
selected).
Use the [JOG] dial to select "0n" or "Off", and press
the [ENTER/YES] key.
The selected option is set.
Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key) repeat-
edly until the VF80EX exits the SETUP mode.

<Notes>
• When "Digital In" is set to "On", "DIGI IN" is shown
on the Normal screen. When the VF80EX is receiving
a valid S/PDIF digital signal and locks to it, "DIGI IN"
lights steadily. When the VF80EX is not receiving a
valid S/PDIF digital signal, "DIGI IN" flashes. In such
a case, check the connection to the external device,
as well as the digital output setting of the external
device.
• While "Digital In" is set to "On", entering the bounce,
training or mastering mode automatically switches
the "Digital In" setting to "Off". Therefore, to make
digital recording again later, make the "Digital In"
setting to "On" again.
Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key) repeat-
edly until the VF80EX exits the SETUP mode.
