Setting the Record Protect function [“Rec Protect”]
The “Setting the Record Protect function” menu allows you to turn the Record Protection function On or Off.
When this function in turned “On”, you cannot record, paste, or erase data. Use this function to protect your
important data from being accidentally erased.

press the [ENTER/YES] key.
It will be set to the selected slave type.
Setting the Slave Type [“Slave Type”]
If you have set Slave Mode to “On” in the previous section “Slave Mode Setting,” you can choose what type of
external sync signal that the VF-16 synchronizes to. This mode allows you to choose the external sync signal type.
1. Select “Slave Type” in the menu selection display and
press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The currently set slave type will flash. “Vari” will bflash
in the initial setting.
3. Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or STOP key) to exit from the
SETUP mode.
1. Select “Rec Protect” in the menu selection display and
then press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The presently set item (On or Off) will flash. “Off” will
flash in the initial setting.
2. Select “On” or “Off” with the [JOG] dial and then press
the [ENTER/YES] key.
It will be set to the selected item (On or Off).
Selecting “Off” enables recording; you can record, paste,
and erase data.
Selecting “On” disables recording; and you cannot
record, paste, or erase data.
3. Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or STOP key) to exit from the
SETUP mode.
<Notes>
* You need to input MTC from an external device to the
VF-16 with any Slave Type.
* The VF-16 re-chase window is fixed to ten frames. That
is, if an offset between the master device and slave device
exceeds ten frames, the VF-16 interprets that as out of
sync, and tried to chase and lock to MTC sent from the
master device. This operation is called “re-chasing.”
During the re-chase operation, audio output is muted.
If the slave machine slips with MTC from the master
device by less than ten frames, the slave machine
continues running while recognizing the slippage.
* When you set the Slave Type, the Vari Pitch function is
automatically disabled. (The “VARI PITCH” indicator
turns off.)
Initial setting: [Vari]
Offset mode option: [Vari], [Free], [SPDIF] or [adat]
* You can set the mode for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the
song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the
power to the VF-16.
Initial setting: [Off]
Offset mode option: [On] or [Off]
* You can set the mode for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the

* The settings are maintained after you turn off the
power to the VF-16.
This is the mode whereby after chase
locking, it will free run by the internal
clock of VF-16 or the digital in clock
from the external equipment should
the time drift away from that of the
master.
This is the mode whereby after chase
locking, it will constantly run by vari-
pitch so that the time does not drift
away from that of the master by
compensating the phase drift.
However, if digital in has been set, it
will operate the same as for “Free.”
This is the mode whereby after chase
locking, it will free run by the S/P DIF
clock only when there is S/P DIF digital
signals from the master.
However, if digital in has been set, that
clock will have priority.
This is the mode whereby after chase
locking, it will free run by only the
adat clock when there is input of adat
digital signals from the master.
However, if digital in has been set, that
clock will have priority.
<Note>
When recording is disabled (“On”) and you try to record,
paste, or erase data, the VF-16 displays “Protected!” for a
second, indicating that you cannot perform the operation.
To perform the operation you need to enable recording
(“Off”).
