Basic Recording and Playback
This chapter describes the basics of recording and playback audio using the VF80.
Before carrying out recording/playback, read “About a demonstration song!”, “Connections of exter-
nal equipment”, “Preliminary knowledge” and “LCD”.
About a demonstration song!
Your VF80 may have a demonstration song on program 1 (P01) when shipped (note that some VF80
units may not have a demonstration song, depending on the production). Please check whether a
demonstration song is recorded or not on your unit according the following manner.
If a demonstration song is recorded, you can listen to the song any time by playing back program
1 (see page 28 for details about how to play back a program).
Note that you cannot record a new material on program 1 if a demonstration song is recorded on
program 1. Therefore, before starting recording for the first time, you must carry out any of the
following operations.
Note: You can start recording without the need for carrying out any of the following operations if no
demonstration song is recorded on your unit.
If you wish to start recording while keeping the demonstration song
Create a new program.
The newly created program is not record-prohibited, so you can record a material onto it.
See page “61” for details about how to create a new program.
<To check whether a demonstration song is recorded or not>
After turning on the unit and booting up program 1, press the [PLAY] key to start playback.
• If the level meters move:
A demonstration song is recorded.
Title of the recorded demonstration song will be
indicated for the program title.
• If the level meters do not move:
No demonstration song is recorded.
Temporary title such as "#0001" will be indicated
for the program title.
If you wish to record a material on program 1 (overwriting the demonstration song)
Set "Rec Protect" menu in the setup mode to "Off".
Now you can overwrite the demonstration song on program 1 by a new material.
See page “129” for details about how to make the record-protect setting to "Off".
If you wish to record a material onto program 1 after deleting the demonstration song
Delete program 1.
After deleting program 1, a new blank "program 1" is automatically created onto which you can
record a new material.
See page “62” for details about how to delete a program.
