Audio CD playback mode

This mode allows playing back an audio CD (regardless of whether it is made using the VF160EX or on the market) using the CD-R/RW drive (model CD-1A/EX).

By switching the HDD playback mode to the audio CD playback mode, you can operate the CD-R/RW drive from the transport keys ([PLAY], etc) on the VF160EX panel for monitoring an audio CD.

<Notes>

You cannot play back an audio CD which is copy-protected.

Never try to play back a disc which is not an audio CD (CD-DA). This may damage the VF160EX.

In the audio CD playback mode, you can use functions such as locate, scrub, auto function and effect editing, as with internal HDD playback. However, note that the access speed is not guaranteed.

Switching the playback mode

When turning the power on, the VF160EX always starts up in the internal HDD playback mode. In the following description, it is assumed that the CD-R/RW drive is installed to the VF160EX and an audio CD (burned using the VF160EX or on the market) is inserted to the drive.

• When the HDD is stopped, press the [SCRUB/CD PLAY] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key.

After the associated warning message as shown below appears, the playback mode changes. Executing the above operation alternatively switches the playback mode.
