<Notes for digital audio recorders to be used>
The VF80 song data only can be saved to or loaded from digital recorders that can handle 16 bit, 44.1 kHz
linear digital data with S/PDIF format (such as DAT recorders).
<Notes for saving data using the S/PDIF digital signal>
When saving all data including both real and Additional track data using the S/PDIF digital signal, note the
following.
Only the data recorded within the time duration between ABS 0 and REC END of the Real tracks is saved.
Therefore, if the recorded time of Additional tracks is longer than the Real tracks, only the Additional track data
within the time duration between ABS 0 and REC END of the Real tracks is saved.
In the example shown on the right, the Additional
tracks have data from "00m 00s" to "10m 00s", while
the Real tracks have data from "00m 00s" to "07m 00s".
If you are going to save all tracks, the Additional track
data from "00m 00s" to "07m 00s" will be saved but
the rest will not be saved.
In such a case, you can solve the problem by setting
the time length of saved data to 10 minutes by using
the "Save Length" screen mentioned later (see "step
4" on page 99). Note that the maximum save length
is 59 minutes 59 seconds.
The other way to solve the problem is to exchange
the Additional track data and the Real track data
before saving data. You should be careful not to lose
the Additional track data in this operation. See page
68 about the "track exchange operation".
