Precautions
About power supply
* Be sure to connect the VF-16 to the power supply
specified in the Specifications section of this owner’s
manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other
voltage.
* Do not connect the VF-16 to the same AC outlet to
which devices that could generate noise (such as a
large motor or dimmer), or the devices that
consume a large amount of power (such as an air
conditioning system or large electric heater) are
connected.
* If you use the VF-16 in an area with a different power
voltage, first consult your dealer or the nearest
Fostex service station. You can use the VF-16 with
a power frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.
* It is very dangerous to use a power cord that is
frayed or damage. In such a case, stop using the
VF-16 immediately and ask your dealer to repair
the cord.
* To avoid possible electric shock and damage to the
VF-16, avoid contact with water or other liquids,
or do not handle the power plug while your hands
are wet.
* To prevent possible electric shock and damage to
the VF-16, do not remove the main unit cover or
reach the inside the VF-16.
* Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects
such as pins, accidentally enter the inside of the VF-
16 because this may lead to electric shock or
damage. Should water enter the inside of the VF-
16, remove the power plug from AC outlet, and
consult your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX service
station.
* To prevent damage to the VF-16, be sure to power
on the connected devices first, then turn on the
power to the VF-16. When you remove or connect
the cables to the input/output connectors on the
VF-16, make sure that the channel faders and
volume controls are set to “0.”
* Before turning the power off to the VF-16, first quit
setup mode and make sure that the recorder section
is stopped. Especially, never attempt to turn off the
power to the VF-16 while the hard disk is accessing
data (the HD ACCESS LED is lit or flashing).
Otherwise, not only will you lose recorded data, but
you may damage to the VF-16.
Fostex is not responsible for the data lost during
operation of the VF-16.
* Before you change the location of the VF-16, pack
the unit in the shipping carton or an impact-
resistant case. Make sure that the VF-16 is kept free
from external vibration or impact since the VF-16
is very sensitive to vibration.
* Do not install the VF-16 in locations subject to the
following:
* Extremely high or low temperature, or
significant changes in temperature.
* Excessive humidity or dust.
* Excessive changes in power supply voltage.
* Unstable or significantly vibrating or shaking
surfaces.
* Near a strong magnetic field (such as a TV or
speaker).
* If you move the unit from a place with an excessively
low temperature to a warm place, or if you use the
VF-16 in a room in which the temperature varies
significantly during winter, condensation may
occur on the hard disk or other parts. In such cases,
leave the VF-16 for about an hour in the new
location before you turn on the power.
Note on repair
* The VF-16 does not use any parts that user can
repair easily. Contact your dealer or the nearest
FOSTEX service station to ask about repairs.
* Use the packing carton designed for the VF-16 when
you transport the VF-16 to the dealer for repair or
return. If you have discarded the packing box, try
to pack the VF-16 completely using shock absorbing
materials. Fostex is not responsible for malfunction
or damage due to incomplete packaging or caused
during transport.
About copyrights

recording or video images or audio data for which
copyright is possessed by a third party for
commercial purposes such as contents, broadcasts,

About damage
* Fostex is not responsible for any “direct damage”
or “indirect damage” caused by using the VF-16.
