<Note>

Total available recording time is always the maximum available recording time on the disk, regardless of the number of programs you set on the disk. That is, if you use up the maximum recording time for one program, you will not be able to record any data on other programs.

<Selecting the desired program from multiple programs>

If you have set up multiple programs on the disk, you first need to select the target program prior to recording, playback., or edit. To select a program, follow the steps below. Do not select a different program until you finish the session.

Basic Locate function

The Locate function enables you to locate the desired point (move the current position of the recorder) immediately. There are two locate methods: storing the desired locate point (time or bar/beat/clock value) into the memory keys, and locating the point without storing it.

This section explains “Locating the top of the program” and “Locating the last recording point in program” and do not involve storing locate points. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information on storing and locating locate points.

On the VR800, the top of the program on the disk is called “ABS 0” and the recorded area is called “REC END.”

(If the program has no data recorded, ABS 0 corresponds to REC END.) You can use this function to locate the ABS 0 or REC END point immediately, regardless of the current recorder position.
