Recorder Functions

Program

The VF08 can have up to 99 programs (P01 through P99) and usually each program manages one song. You can

make recording against each program or playback materials recorded on each program.

This section describe program-related operations.

Creating a new program

When formatting a hard disk, a program (P01) is au-

tomatically created.

To create a new program, follow the procedure below

while the recorder is stopped and the display shows

the Normal screen.

<Note>

The initial settings for a new program are copied from the

setting of the current program.

Therefore, if you want to make a new program with the

same settings as an existing program, bring up the pro-

gram before creating a new program.

Press the [TRACK EDIT/PGM] key while holding down

the [SHIFT] key.

The screen for selecting, renaming or deleting a pro-

gram appears. (The screen example below shows the

initial condition where only Program 01 exists.)

Use the [JOG] dial to highlight "P02 [New Program]"

and then press the [ENTER/YES] key.

When highlighting "P02 [New Program]", only high-

lighted "SELECT" is shown at the bottom of the screen.

Pressing the [ENTER/YES] key creates a new program

(P02 in this example) with the tentative title whose

leftmost character ("#" in this example) is highlighted.

In this condition, you can enter the program title by

following the procedure described in "<How to enter a

desired title> below.

Note that you may use the program with the tentative

title ("#0002" in this example) if you do not need to en-

ter the desired one. Anyway, you may also enter/edit

the title later by the procedure described in "Editing a

program title" on page 57.

To use the program with the tentative title, press the

[EXIT/NO] key. To put the desired title, see the following.

• Rotate the [JOG] dial (or [CURSOR up/down] keys)

to select a character for the blinking point from

among those listed below.

• Use the [CURSOR </>] keys to move the blinking

point.

<Hint>

When selecting a character, rotating the [JOG] dial

while holding down the [SHIFT] key jumps among

characters surrounded with the box above.

This function will allow you to save time for select-

ing a desired character.

Press the [ENTER/YES] key after entering the title.

The title is set.

Press the [EXIT/NO] (or [STOP]) key.

The setup mode exits and the display shows the Nor-

mal screen of the newly created program.

<Hint>

• When creating a new program, the next program

number to the highest program number in the

existing programs is assigned.

If there is only one program (P01), Program 02

(P02) will be created. If there is five programs (P01

through P05), Program 06 (P06) will be created.

• Creating a new program consumes a small amount

of the recordable disk space. Also note that when

the recordable disk space is not enough, you

cannot create a new program.
