Making the chain play list

Before executing chain play, you must make the chain play list by selecting the desired (or all) pro- grams in the desired order. You can enter up to 99 programs to the chain play list.

The following procedure examples show how to en- ter all programs on the VF80EX current drive and how to select desired five programs to the list, as- suming that 10 programs are recorded on the VF80EX current drive.

1While the VF80EX is stopped, press the [SETUP] key.

The VF80EX enters the setup mode and the display changes to show the "Select Menu" screen for selecting a setup menu item.

By default, the "Signature Set" flashes as shown in the figure below.

2Use the [JOG] dial (or the [CURSOR ] key) to select "Chain Play List" which is the 27th menu item (R27) in

the setup menu, and then press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display changes to show the "Chain Play List" screen, in which "C01:END" is highlighted by default. "C01" shows the step number, while "END" shows no program is entered to the chain play list.

By rotating the [JOG] dial while "END" is flashing, you can select a desired option from among the programs on the drive ("P01" through "P10"), as well as "ALL", "INS" and "DEL". See the table below for details about each option.
