VR800 Owner’s Manual (Before Starting)
As described in “Managing the song by Program,” the VR800 can set up as many as 99 Programs on the disk. Setting up a Program requires a small amount of disk space. In other words, disk space is used not only for storing recorded data but also for storing all setup data. Therefore, make sure that you have enough space on the disk before you start recording to avoid running out of space (the [OVER !] message flashes in that case).
Managing songs by Program Change function
The VR800 features Program Select function, which enables you to set up to 99 Programs on the disk.
When you format a disk, one Program will be automatically created on the disk. You may create more Programs, if necessary. You may also delete unnecessary Programs.
The VR800 also features Program Change function that enables you to select one of the Programs set on the disk. Programs on the disk are something like independent containers. You can record, play, and edit each container without affecting other containers. You can also name Programs, which is useful for managing songs.
program 1 | program 2 | program 3 |
program 4 | program 5 | program 6 |
program 7 | program 8 | program 9 |
You can set up to 99 programs (independent containers).
You can name a program.
This example shows a “temporary title” automatically named to program 1 right after you format the disk.
This indicates the number of the currently selected program. In this example, Program 1 selected.

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 in other Programs.
Note: As described in the “REMAIN indicator,” creating additional Programs will consume a small amount of disk space.
