Program

With the VF160EX, the music is managed according to programs numbered 01-99 (99 programs). These programs are independent of each other and can be recorded or played separately. This section describes the instructions of how to operate the program.

Creating a New Program

One program (P01) is automatically created on the VF160EX when formatting the hard disk. Follow the instructions below to create a New Program.

Note that the VF160EX must be in the STOP mode.

<Precaution>

The contents as the program currently started is copied as the default setting of a newly created program.

To keep the same default settings as previously created programs, first start up the previous program and then create a new program.

3.Press the [ENTER/YES] key again.

The “Tentative Title” (#0002, etc.) that was automatically assigned when creating a new program appears on the LCD. The left end of the title is highlighted and flashes.

This means that the tentative (working) title of the newly created program can be edited. Edit the title in the following manner.

Note that the “Title Edit” function described later can also edit or reedit the title of a new program already assigned a title or one that was edited.

<How to add a title!>

•Turn the [JOG] dial at the cursor (flashing point). The following alphanumerics can be selected.

1.Press the [PGM SEL] key in the STOP state.

The current program number and “Select PGM!” appears, then “Sure?” flashes on the LCD.

•Shift through the cursor (flashing point) by pressing the [HOLD/>] key, [REWIND] key or [F FWD] key.

*Rotate the [JOG] dial while holding down the [SHIFT] key and the recorder will jump to the letters/symbols listed below (small square position).

2. Turn the [JOG] dial clockwise to find “New PGM?”, then press the [ENTER/YES] key.

A new program is created, then automatically proceeds to the “Title Edit” menu of the SETUP mode. This allows the user to input (edit) the title name of the newly created program.

Press the [EXIT/NO] key twice to create a program with a working title, without editing the title.

When the [EXIT/NO] key is pressed, the system returns to the Normal Display. To edit the working title, proceed as follows.

4. Press the [ENTER/YES] key after assigning a title.

The program is set with the title assigned.

5. Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or [STOP] key).

The user escapes from the SETUP mode and the Normal

Display of the newly created program appears on the LCD.

<Notes>

• Note that when creating a new program, the next sequential number of the program currently set on the disk is set. If there is only one program, then program number 2 (P02) is created. If there are five programs, then program number P06 is assigned.

• The program name started when creating a new program is directly copied for the scene name (S01: #0002, etc.) appearing below the program number.

• Available disk space is slightly reduced by creating a new program. The user cannot create a new program when there is not enough disk space available to save that program.
