Restarting

You can restart the VS-1824 without turning off the rear panel POWER switch. This is convenient for switching disks when working off of a removable drive (such as a Zip drive) connected to the VS-1824’s SCSI port.

2.Make sure “PowerOFF/RESTART” appears in the display.

3.Hold [SHIFT] and press [PLAY (RESTART)]. This restarts the VS-1824.

If “STORE Current ?” is Displayed

When you begin various operations, such as selecting a different song or shutting down, the message “STORE Current ?” may be displayed. This message asks whether you wish to save the currently selected song, or any edits or changes recently made to the current song, to the drive.

If you wish to save the song, press [ENTER/YES].

If you want to proceed with the shutdown without saving the song, press [EXIT/NO].

If you press [ENTER/YES] in response to the “STORE Current?” message when Song Protect is on, the message “Song Protected” is displayed, and you will be unable to save any changes or edits you made to the song. Before editing a song, turn Song Protect off (p. 48). Otherwise, press [EXIT/NO].

Chapter 2 Basic Operation

Saving Your Song

(Song Store)

Use the Shutdown procedure before turning the power off. If you just turn the power off without using Shutdown, song data could be lost and you could possibly damage your hard drive. When you switch songs or change drives, a message will ask to confirm whether the currently selected song should be saved. Also, the contents of a recorded song can be lost due to unforeseen accidents such as a power failure or power outage. Once lost, the contents of a recorded song cannot be restored to its previous condition. To prevent this from happening, use the following procedure to save your songs on the drive.

Current Song (See Appendices p. 12)

*When handling important song data, or when using the VS-1824 for extended periods, we strongly recommend you use the Song Store procedure frequently.

1.Hold [SHIFT] and press [ZERO/(STORE)]. “STORE OK?” appears in the display.

2.Press [ENTER/YES].

If the song is saved properly, the Playlist display reappears.

If you wish to cancel the STORE command, press [EXIT/NO].
