Chapter 2 Basic Recording and Playback

This chapter describes basic recording and playback with the VF160EX.

Before carrying out recording/playback, read “About a demonstration song!”, “Connections of Periph- eral Equipment” and “LCD”.

About a demonstration song! (Read this before using the unit)

Your VF160EX may have a demonstration song on program 1 (P01) when shipped (note that some VF160EX units may not have a demonstration song, depending on the production). Please check whether a demonstration song is recorded or not on your unit according the following manner.

<To check whether a demonstration song is recorded or not>

After turning on the unit and boosting up program 1, press the [PLAY] key to start playback.

• If the level meters move:

A demonstration song is recorded.

Title of the recorded demonstration song will be indicated for the program title.

•If the level meters do not move: No demonstration song is recorded.

Temporary title such as "#0001" will be indicated for the program title.

If a demonstration song is recorded, you can listen to the song any time by playing back program 1 (see page 31 for details about how to play back a program).

Note that you cannot record a new material on program 1 if a demonstration song is recorded on program 1. Therefore, before starting recording for the first time, you must carry out any of the following operations.

Note: You can start recording without the need for carrying out any of the following operations if no demonstration song is recorded on your unit.

If you wish to start recording while keeping the demonstration song

Create a new program.

The newly created program is not record-prohibited, so you can record a material onto it.

See page “70” for details about how to create a new program.

If you wish to record a material on program 1 (overwriting the demonstration song)

Set "Rec Protect" menu in the setup mode to "Off".

Now you can overwrite the demonstration song on program 1 by a new material.

See page “140” for details about how to make the record-protect setting to "Off".

If you wish to record a material onto program 1 after deleting the demonstration song

Delete program 1.

After deleting program 1, a new blank "program 1" is automatically created onto which you can record a new material.

See page “71” for details about how to delete a program.
