Model VF160 Owner's Manual

<Supplement>

Additional functions on the new version

With the new software version of the VF160, you can now save or load WAV files using a SCSI-type CD-RW/CD-R drive such as the optional CD-1A.

See this manual for details about how to save or load WAV files using the optional CD-1A or a SCSI-type CD-RW/CD-R drive.

In addition, functions described in "Making an audio CD" on page 120 of the main owner's manual are expanded. You can now burn more than one disc continuously.

Please read this supplementary manual together with the main owner's manual to understand how to make audio CDs using a CD-RW/CD-R drive.

Model VF160 Owner's Manual Supplement

Save/load of WAV files using a CD-RW/CD-R drive

By installing the optional CD-RW/CD-R drive (Model CD-1A) to the VF160 or connecting a SCSI-type CD-RW/CD-R drive via the SCSI connector of the VF160, you can save or load a WAV file to or from a CD-RW/CD-R disc. Unlike the save or load using another type of SCSI devices such as MO and zip drives, you do not have to format a CD-RW/CD-R disc in the DOS format.

See page 114 of the owner's manual for the information about SCSI-type CD-RW/CD-R drives that can be used with the VF160. See page 144 of the owner's manual for details about how to install the CD-1A to the VF160.

<Notes for saving a WAV file>

You can save data for only one desired program to a CD-RW/CD-R disc, regardless of the recording size. Even if a disc has enough recording space, you cannot record data for more than one program to it.

If data size for a program is larger than the size of a disc, it can be saved using more than one disc.

<Important notes for using a WAV file>

About directory of a backup disc:

A WAV file saved is recorded in the root directory (in the first layer) on the backup disc.

A WAV file that can be loaded must be allocated in the root directory on the backup disc.

A WAV file moved from the root directory to another area such as a folder cannot be recognized by the VF160, which may cause a malfunction.

About file names of WAV file:

A WAV file the VF160 saves is recorded with a file name "******##.WAV."

A WAV file the VF160 can load must have a file name "******##.WAV."

The first 6 characters "******" are the title that is shown in the "Title Edit" screen in the Setup mode. These characters can be changed when saving using a WAV file or edited by a computer.

The following 2 characters "##" indicate the track number (1 to 24) for the save/load using a WAV file. The last ".WAV" is the file extension indicating that the file format is WAV.

The VF160 does not recognize other file names than above. See the following description for each operation about details.

By using the specifications above, you can load only the desired tracks of a WAV file or load a trackswapped WAV file.

<Notes on display>

Depending on whether the CD-1A or a SCSI-type CD-RW/CD-R drive is used for the save/load functions, the display looks differently during save/load operations.

As described in the next page, depending on save (or load) device selection, "IDE" or "SCSI" is shown on the first line of the display, as below.

When using the CD-1A, "IDE" should be selected as the save (or load) device and the display looks like this.

When using a SCSI-type CD-RW/CD-R drive, "SCSI" should be selected as the save (or load) device and the display looks like this.

Saving a WAV file

In the following description, we assume that the optional CD-1A is installed to the VF160 and an unused CD-RW or

CD-R disc is set.

1Press the [SETUP] key to enter the Setup mode.

The display shows the screen for selecting the Setup menu.

2Use the [JOG] dial to select "Save PGM" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display shows the screen for selecting the device to which the data is saved. "IDE" flashes.

<About the Clipboard Export function>

The "Clipboard Export function" allows you to save the desired range of data between the Clipboard In and Out points which are set when executing the Copy-paste or Move-paste function.

Therefore, if you want to save only the specific range of data, you have to register the Clipboard In and Out points before the save operation.
