<Notes>
• You need to input MTC from an external device to the
VF160EX with any Slave Type.
• The VF160EX re-chase window is fixed to ten frames. That
is, if an offset between the master device and slave device
exceeds ten frames, the VF160EX interprets that as out of
sync, and tried to chase and lock to MTC sent from the
master device. This operation is called “re-chasing.”
During the re-chase operation, audio output is muted.
If the slave machine slips with MTC from the master
device by less than ten frames, the slave machine
continues running while recognizing the slippage.
• When you set the Slave Type, the Vari Pitch function is
automatically disabled. (The “VARI PITCH” indicator
turns off.)
• Initial setting: “Vari”
• Offset mode option: “Vari”, “Free”, “SPDIF” or “adat”
* You can set the mode for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the
song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the
power to the VF160EX.
• Initial setting: “Off”
• Offset mode option: “On” or “Off”
* You can set the mode for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the
song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the
power to the VF160EX.
<Note>
When recording is disabled (“On”) and you try to record,
paste, or erase data, the VF160EX displays “Protected!”
for a second, indicating that you cannot perform the
operation.
To perform the operation you need to enable recording
(“Off”).

After chase lock is achieved, the VF160EX
enters the free run mode with reference
to the internal clock.
If Digital In is selected, the VF160EX runs
in sync with the clock derived from Digi-
tal In.
After chase lock is achieved, the VF160EX
runs in the vari pitch mode to keep sync
with the master. Note that if the Digital
In is selected, the VF160EX runs in the
same manner as "Free".
After chase lock is achieved, if the
VF160EX receives an S/PDIF digital sig-
nal from the master, it runs in sync with
the S/PDIF clock. Note that, if Digital In
is selected, the VF160EX runs in sync with
the clock derived from Digital In.
After chase lock is achieved, if the
VF160EX receives an adat digital signal
from the master, it runs in sync with the
adat clock. Note that, if Digital In is se-
lected, the VF160EX runs in sync with
the clock derived from Digital In.
