Fostex VF160EX operation manual Display in the audio CD playback mode, 105

Display in the audio CD playback mode

When switching to the audio CD playback mode, the display looks like the example below.

By pressing the [DISP SEL] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key, you can switch the time base.

By pressing only the [DISP SEL] key, you can switch the display mode in the current time base. See the table below for details.

This section shows the current track number and name. In this example, “CD01” shows the current track number is “01”. On the right of the track number, the track name is shown when playing back a CD TEXT disc (an audio CD containing text information) which has track title information. If the name is long and exceeds the display area, it is scrolled in the next row.

When playing back a normal audio CD (which does not contain text information) available on the market or burned using the VF160EX, “No Title” is shown, as this example.

When an audio CD which has more than one track is set, pressing the [REWIND/PREV] or [F FWD/NEXT] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key locates to the beginning of an appropriate track while the display shows “Locate: EVT**”.

In the audio CD playback mode, only the level meters for tracks 1, 2 and L/R master are effective. The playback level can be controlled using the faders for tracks 1, 2 and [MASTER].

ABS	Disc elapsed time is shown. The time starts from the beginning of a disc. The loop start
