VR800 Owner’s Manual (Names and Functions)

Display Section

The VR800 uses a liquid crystal display which integrates a 9-digit/35-dot message section, 7-segment display section, and level meters. The level meters indicate the output level of tracks 1-8.

The time display shows various information in different units, such as ABS time (absolute time), MTC (MIDI timecode), BAR/ BEAT/CLK (bar/beat/clock), and makes it easy to check the recorder’s current time. The message display shows various messages required to operate the VR800, and offers interactive operation. This section describes display functions along with examples.

Display when the power is turned on

When you turn on the power to the VR800 and the connected external SCSI drive (a formatted removable disk or hard disk), the display shows the [Initial...] message, [Current Dr], the name of the connected current drive, then recording mode (Master 8ch, Master 4ch, or ADAC 8ch), and finally the top position of the disk in the time base (ABS, MTC, or BAR/BEAT/CLK) used in the last program before you turned the power off.

The following example indicates that the VR800 started with the ABS time base used in program 1.

The level meter shows the recorder output level and the recording level for tracks 1~8.

When the VR800 recognizes the current drive, the [SCSI] indicator lights up in the [DRIVE] section of the display if the current drive is a SCSI device. The [IDE] indicator lights up if the current drive is an E-IDE hard disk.
