You may find the noise from the VS-1824’s cooling fan to be a concern when recording with a mic nearby. If this is the case, you can program the VS-1824 to turn off the fan during certain operations.

1.Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System Menu icon is displayed.

If the System Menu icon does not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].

2.Press [F2 (GLOBL)].

If “GLOBL” does not appear above [F2], first press [PAGE] until “GLOBL” appears, and then press [F2 (GLOBL)].

3.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to “Fan Control.” Use the TIME/VALUE dial to

change the setting.

Fan Control

This specifies which operations cause the cooling fan to turn off.

Off:

The Fan Control feature is disabled. The fan operates constantly.

Play:

The fan stops during playback.

Rec&Play:

The fan stops when Record Standby is enabled, and stays off during recording and playback.

While the cooling fan is stopped for long periods of time, heat can build up and, as a result, may damage the internal hard drive. To avoid this problem, do not leave this set to “Play” or “Rec&Play” for long periods of time. Keep the fan running as much as possible with the Fan Control set to “Off.”
