Fostex VF160EX operation manual 116, To erase the existing recorded data, To eject the disc

When completing the save operation, “Save Completed!” appears on the display (as shown below) and the VF160EX stops access to the drive, while the disc in the CD-R/RW drive is automatically ejected.

When saving data to more than one disc, the first disc will be ejected when it is full (i.e. there is no more re- cording space on the disc), while “Insert Disk!” appears on the screen. After inserting the second disc, the VF160EX automatically resumes the save operation.

After completing the save operation, the final disc is ejected and the above screen appears. (See <Note> be- low).

8.Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key) to exit the Setup mode.

<Note for saving data to more than one disc>

If you save data to more than one disc, we recom- mend to put a number on each disc in the saving order (such as DISC-1, DISC-2, etc.) so that you will easily know the order for inserting discs when load- ing data.

<Note>

You cannot abort the save operation before com- pleted. Especially during the save operation to more than one disc, if you happen to press the [EXIT/NO] key while removing or inserting a disc, you have to redo the save operation from the beginning with the first disc.

<About save error>

If an error occurs for some reason during the save operation, the error message as below appears.

If it appears, press the [EXIT/NO] key.

The display returns to the previous screen before performing the save operation.

Note that saved data before the error message ap- pears is all invalid.

<Note>

If the message above appears while saving data to a CD-Rdisc, you can no longer use the disc.

<Hint 1>

In the description for saving data above, we assume to use a non-recorded CD-RW/CD-R disc.

If you use a recorded disc (including a disc on which computer data is recorded), also note the following.

By performing step 5 in the save operation procedure shown above (“While “BkUp” is flashing, press the [EN- TER/YES] key”.) When a recorded disc is inserted, the dis- play shows a warning message, followed by the confir- mation screen (where “Sure?” flashes).

With this screen, you can choose whether erasing the re- corded data or ejecting the disc.

Flashing Flashing

• To erase the existing (recorded) data

Press the [ENTER/YES] key while both “ERASE” and “Sure?” are flashing. The display shows the screen be- low and the VF160EX starts erasing the disc.

As the erase process progresses, the number of flashing “*” increases from left to right.

Increases as the process progresses.

Immediately after completing erasing the disc, the display shows the same screen (for selecting a pro- gram to be saved) which appears after step 5 is performed. Hereafter, perform the same procedure as described above.

<Note>

The erasure operation described above is the "quick erasure". The VF160EX only erases special areas (TOC, etc.) and does not erase data area. If you repeatedly encounter a read error after carrying out the erasure operation above, try to carry out "full erasure" de- scribed on the next page.

• To eject the disc

Use the [JOG] dial to highlight “Eject” (flashing) and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The disc is ejected while the display shows “Insert Disk! ”. By inserting a disc, you can start the save operation again from the beginning.

<Hint 2>

If you try to save data to a recorded CD-Rdisc, the dis- play shows a warning message saying “Not Writable” , fol- lowed by a message saying “Insert Disk” as below.
