6Select tracks to be saved.

Use the [CURSOR] keys to move the blinking field between "From" and "To".

Use the [JOG] dial to set the track number for the blinking field.

For the "From" field, you can select from 1, 9 and 17. For the "To" field, you can select a higher value than the "From" field value among 8, 16 and 24.

Accordingly, you can set "Save Track Area" to one of the following.

"From 1 To 8", "From 1 to 16", "From 1 To 24", "From 9 To 16", "From 9 To 24", and "From 17 To 24"

For the first several seconds, the VF80EX transmits the pilot signal that will be a reference for locating the tape position during the load operation, and the actual data saving starts from the position at which "Wait Time" starts counting down.

Data is saved in 2-track unit. When the data saving is completed, "Completed!" appears on the screen and the VF80EX stops.

<Note>

If you interrupts saving before completing, the saved data is invalid.

•To cancel each operation or to return to the previous screen before pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key). Each press of the key returns to the previous screen level and finally exits the setup mode.
