If the song is saved properly, the initial display

Turning Off the Power
The contents of any recorded performance will be lost
if you simply turn the power off. This may also result
in damage to the hard disk. To safely turn off the
power and be sure that your recorded performances
are saved, always be sure to follow the shutdown pro-
cedure when you finish working with the VS-880EX.
Shutdown (Appendices p. 124)
1. While holding down [SHIFT], press [SHUT/
EJECT (STOP)].
2. “SHUT/EJECT?” appears in the display. Press
[YES].
3. “STORE Current?” then appears in the display. If
you wish to save the current song, press [YES]. If
you do not wish to save it (if you want to undo
the contents of recording editing), press [NO]. If
you have selected a demo song, press [NO].
4. When shut down has been completed properly,
“PowerOFF/RESTART” appears in the display.
5. Turn down the volume of your audio equipment.
6. Turn off the power of the audio equipment.
7. Turn off the power of the VS-880EX with the
POWER switch on the rear panel.
* After the power is turned off, the momentum of the hard
disk causes it to continue spinning for a short while. Any
physical shock to the unit during this time may damage
the hard disk. Avoid moving the VS-880EX with a hard
disk installed for at least 30 seconds after turning off the
power.
If “STORE Current?” is Displayed
When you begin to execute the various operations
such as shutdown, the message “STORE Current?”
(Save the current song?) is displayed. This message
asks you whether you wish to save the currently
selected song to the disk drive. If you wish to save the
song before continuing with the shutdown, press
[YES]. If you want to proceed with the shutdown
without saving the song, press [NO].
If you press [YES] in response to the “STORE
Current?” message when Song Protect is on, or when
if you have selected a demo song, the message “Song
Protected” is displayed, and you will be unable to save
the song. Before editing a song, set Song Protect to
“Off” (p. 65). Otherwise, press [NO].
Restarting
You can restart the VS-880EX without turning off the
rear panel POWER switch. This is convenient when
switching disks in drives (such as the Zip drive) con-
nected to the VS-880EX’s SCSI connector. Use the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Perform the shutdown procedure as described in
“Turning Off the Power” (p. 33).
2. Confirm that “PowerOFF/RESTART” appears in
the display.
3. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [RESTART
(PLAY)].
This restarts the VS-880EX.
