If only one Program has been set up, turning the JOG dial enables you to select [01] or [02]. If you select [02], “PGM” of [Load PGM] and [New] flash alternately.

This means that a new Program (P02) should be set up before you execute the load operation. (If multiple Programs exist in the current drive disk, turn the JOG dial to select a Program from these Programs plus one new Program.)

The VR800 displays the track numbers being loaded and the total time of the Program. The time value starts counting down as the load operation progresses.

The RECORD TRACK select key lamps for tracks 1 and 2 flash,and level meters 1 and 2 indicate the level of signal input from the DAT. (All RECORD TRACK select lamps flash and level meters 1–8 indicate the level of signal input from an adat.)
