Fostex VF160EX 132, Changing the initial settings menu, Check menu, Execution menu

Chapter 7 SETUP mode

The SETUP mode of the VF160EX offers the “Changing the initial settings” menus, which configure the operating environment of the VF160EX, a “Check” menu that enables you to check the number of events for each track, and an “Execution” menu that executes certain operations, such as save and load and disk formatting. The “Changing the initial settings” menu include 21 parameters as shown in <Table-1> below. These parameters were set before the VF160EX was shipped from the factory and these values are called the “initial settings.” Modifying these settings allows you to change the operating environment of the VF160EX. The “Check” menu provides two parameters “Checking the number of events” as shown in <Table-2> - “Checking the number of events” and “Checking the current drive information.”

Also, as shown in <Table-3>, the “Execution” menus include five 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>.
