VR800 Owner’s Manual (Names and Functions)
Display Section
The VR800 uses a liquid crystal display which integrates a
The time display shows various information in different units, such as ABS time (absolute time), MTC (MIDI timecode), BAR/ BEAT/CLK (bar/beat/clock), and makes it easy to check the recorder’s current time. The message display shows various messages required to operate the VR800, and offers interactive operation. This section describes display functions along with examples.
Display when the power is turned on
When you turn on the power to the VR800 and the connected external SCSI drive (a formatted removable disk or hard disk), the display shows the [Initial...] message, [Current Dr], the name of the connected current drive, then recording mode (Master 8ch, Master 4ch, or ADAC 8ch), and finally the top position of the disk in the time base (ABS, MTC, or BAR/BEAT/CLK) used in the last program before you turned the power off.
The following example indicates that the VR800 started with the ABS time base used in program 1.
