Caution when using USB memory

•If you’re using new USB memory, you must first format it on the VR-700. For the procedure, refer to “Formatting USB Memory” (p. 62).

•USB memory that was formatted on a computer cannot be used by the VR-700. USB memory that you want to use with the VR-700 must be formatted by the VR-700.

•For details on the USB memory that can be used with the VR- 700, refer to “Specifications” (p. 80). To purchase USB memory, contact the dealer where you purchased the VR-700.

•For details on the format of songs that can be played back by the VR-700, refer to “Specifications” (p. 80).

•On the VR-700, all songs are indicated by a number. Be aware that these will differ from the file names shown when the USB memory is connected to a computer.

•If a folder contains more than 100 songs, it may not be possible to select songs correctly. Take care that there are no more than 100 songs in a folder.

2.Use the [+] button or [–] button to change the tempo.

•For rhythm patterns or for music data stored on USB memory, the tempo can be adjusted in a range of 10–500 (BPM).
