VR800 Owner’s Manual (Changing the initial setting: SETUP mode)

Changing the Initial Settings (SETUP Mode)

SETUP mode of the VR800 offers the “Changing the initial settings” menus that configure the operating environment of the VR800, a “Check” menu that enables you to check the number of events of each track, and the “Execution” menus that execute certain operations, such as save and load.

The “Changing the initial settings” menus include 15 parameters as shown in Table-1 below. These parameters were set before the unit was shipped from the factory (These values are called the “initial settings.”). Modifying these settings allows you to change the operating environment of the VR800.

The “Check” menu provides one parameter “Checking the number of events” as shown in Table-2.

Also, as shown in Table-3, the “Execution” menus include six items: Title Edit?, Delete. PGM?, Load PGM?, Save PGM?, and Disk Format?, which you can execute by selecting the corresponding SETUP menu. This chapter explains how to use the “Changing the initial settings” menus shown in Table-1 and the “Check” menu shown in Table-2. For more information on the “Execution” menus, refer to the corresponding pages in the “Reference page” column in Table-3.
