Selecting a song (Song Select)
This selects a different song that was saved on the current
drive (the currently selected disk drive).
If you wish to select a song that was saved on another disk
drive, first switch the current drive (p.93).

[YES].
2. The names of the songs saved on the current drive will
be displayed. Select a song and execute.
An asterisk ÒÓ will be displayed at the beginning of
the currently selected song. The sample rate of the song
will be displayed in the SYNC MODE field, and the
recording mode of the song will be displayed in the
SCENE field.
Turning the power off
(Shut Down)
The recorded performance will be lost if you simply turn
the power off. In order to turn the power off safely, you
must first make sure that the performance has been saved to
hard disk, and that the hard disk heads are parked. This
procedure is referred to as Shutdown. Before turning off the
power, perform the following shutdown procedure.
* If you turn off the power without performing the shut-
down operation, the data may not be saved correctly, or
the hard disk may be damaged.
1. While holding down [SHIFT], press [SHUT/EJECT
(STOP)].
The upper line of the display will indicate
ÒSHUT/EJECT?.Ó
2. Press [YES]. (To cancel, press [NO].)
The display indicate ÒSTORE Current?.Ó
3. If you wish to save the current song, press [YES]. If you
do not wish to save it, press [NO]. If you have selected
the demo song, press [NO].
When shut down is complete, the display will indicate
ÒPowerOFF/RESTART.Ó
4. Turn off the VS-880 power.
* The disk platter inside a hard disk will continue to rotate
for a time by its momentum after the power is turned off.
If a physical shock is applied to the unit during this time,
the hard disk may be damaged. Avoid moving the unit
for about 30 seconds after turning the power off.
If the display asks “STORE Current?”
When you execute an operation such as creating a new
song, selecting a different song, or song copy on the VS-880,
a confirmation message of ÒSTORE Current?Ó will appear.
This is asking you whether you wish to store the currently
selected song to the disk drive.
If you wish to store the currently selected song and then
execute the operation, press [YES]. If you wish to execute
the operation without saving the current song, press [NO].
If the Song Protect setting of the song is ON, pressing [YES]
will cause a message of ÒSong ProtectedÓ to be displayed
briefly. Then, without executing the operation, the VS-880
will return to the status it was in before execution was
attempted. Song Protect is a setting which can be made for
each song, to prevent accidental rewriting of a song stored
on the disk drive.
If you wish to execute the operation without saving the cur-
rently selected song, repeat the procedure once again, and
press [NO] in reply to the ÒSTORE Current?Ó message. If
you wish to save the currently selected song and then exe-
cute the operation, turn Song Protect OFF (p.74).
Re-starting the VS-880
To restart the VS-880 without turning off the power, use the
following procedure.
1. Execute the shut-down procedure.
2. The display will indicate “PowerOFF/RESTART,” so
hold down [SHIFT] and press [RESTART (PLAY)].
