POUR EVITER LES CHOCS ELECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE LA LAME LA PLUS LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE CORRESPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER JUSQU' AU FOND. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. "WARNING" "TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. " SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated. [. . . ] The maximum repeat frequency that can be input is 99 but this repeat frequency is automatically limited according to how much space is available on the disk. Simply put, a frequency of 99 repeat times can be input if there is enough disk space. If there isn't, then only the maximum allowable repeat frequency (size) for the remaining disk space can be input. It is not possible to go above this number even if the [JOG] dial is turned. <Caution> The UNDO/REDO feature is valid only when the recorder is in the STOP state. UNDO/REDO is no longer possible if the following procedures take place after Copy & Paste (or Move & Paste). When the AUTO PUNCH mode is ON and PLAY (or RECORD) mode is effected, and the point has already passed the AUTO PUNCH IN point. Press the [ENTER/YES] key. "Copy Paste" (or "Move Paste") flashes on the display. "Completed!" lights up when the data has been successfully pasted. 9. Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or [STOP] key). The system exits from the edit mode and returns to the original time base display. <Caution> Note that Copy & Paste(or Move & Paste) is not possible unless there is enough disk space to "UNDO/REDO", as explained in the next section. When attempting to paste to a disk that does not have enough disk space, "Over Time!" appear on the display and the insufficient time appears according to the currently selected time base. In such case, either shorten the COPY DATA (or MOVE DATA) by the time it is in the excess, or erase unnecessary data or programs from the erase to secure enough disk space. Refer to the "Erasing a Program" on page 71 for instructions on how to erase a program, in terms of the "ERASE" instructions to erase unnecessary data. < Please note > For regular copy & paste (or move & paste) as shown in Figure 1, the CLIPBOARD IN point of the data which was copy clipped (or move clipped) onto the clipboard, is aligned with the AUTO PUNCH IN point and pasted. CLIPBOARD IN POINT CLIPBOARD OUT POINT To align the head of the measure for pasting together with sound data in front of the measure, the "ALIGN SEL" function of VF160 can be utilized. To use this function, the head of the measure data in the clip data must be registered in the [ALIGN SEL] key as shown in Figure 3. <Actual sound point> CLIPBOARD IN POINT CLIPBOARD OUT POINT ALIGN SEL POINT <Head of the measure> <Figure 1> AUTO PUNCH IN POINT <Actual sound point> Due to this, as shown in Figure 2, in the case whereby data registered in the CLIPBOARD is the actual sound point and head of the measure is behind this, then even though you attempted to paste this head of the measure in alignment with this previously head, it will be pasted off alignment by this procedure due to the CLIPBOARD IN = ALIGN SEL function. CLIPBOARD IN POINT ALIGN SEL POINT <Actual sound point> <Head of the measure> CLIPBOARD OUT POINT <Figure 3> <Head of the measure> AUTO PUNCH IN POINT CLIPBOARD IN data, as a result of copy clip (or move clip), will be directly registered in the [ALIGN SEL] key. Next, recall the [ALIGN SEL] key data (press the [ALIGN SEL] key) and, after correcting this data to head point of the measure, press the [STORE] key and then the [ALIGN SEL] key. After this, by executing copy & paste (or move & paste), the aligned heads of the measures together with data in front of the measures, can be pasted. < Note > The range in correction of the ALIGN SEL data must be strictly limited between CLIPBOARD IN-OUT. <Head of the measure> AUTO PUNCH IN POINT <Figure 2> 74 Erase The VF160 provides the following "ERASE" options. Please read the instructions in its entirety prior to actual operations, to prevent any erroneous understanding of the description. Erasing a selected section between ABS - REC END. A selected section between ABS 0 (beginning of disk) and REC END (REC end point) is erased of the program currently started up. Both mono tracks and multiple tracks (including all real tracks) can be erased if assuming that they are real tracks. When erasing a selected section between ABS 0 - REC END, END of recording point remains unchanged as shown in the figure below. Only the section erased of data (meaning there will be no sound on that section) will be erased. Once the data is erased there will be more disk space remaining on the disk (more storage space to save new data). AUTO PUNCH IN point Any real track Erase Any real track Silence Any real track ABS 0 (REC END) Erasing from a voluntarily specified point to REC END. All data from a voluntarily specified point (other than ABS 0) to REC END is erased from the currently started program. Both mono tracks and multiple tracks can be erased, as in the case described to the left. [. . . ] Closing the tray without locking the disc may damage the disc. Eject switch <Note for removing a disc from the tray> When removing a disc from the tray, also support the tray from the bottom by your hand. Also be careful not to unlock the disc from the pivot forcibly, which may damage the tray. · Place the disc with the label side up. The tray slightly opens. When placing the disc, support the tray from the bottom by your hand as shown in the illustration below, and push the disc gently until it clicks so that the disc is locked into the pivot. Push the disc until it clicks so that the disc is locked into the pivot. lens disc Pull out the tray to fully open it. <Caution!> Do not touch the lens when pulling out the tray, doing so may damage it and may cause a malfunction. Support the tray from the bottom by your hand. <Caution!> · To close the tray, push the tray inside by hand until locked.
