Before you use the VS8F-3
To use a VS8F-3 in a V Studio, the system program version of the V Studio must be
compatible with the VS8F-3. Please check the system program version of your V Studio
recorder before installing the VS8F-3. If you find the version is not compatible with the
VS8F-3, please update the software using the SETUP DISC contained in this package. The
update should be executed once prior to the installation of the VS8F-3. If you find the
system program version is compatible with the VS8F-3, the update is not necessary.
In this chapter, the notes and cautions regarding installation of VS8F-3 are stated. Please
read them carefully and install the board correctly.
Checking the system version of your V Studio
1. Power up your V Studio while holding down TRACK SELECT/CH EDIT [1]+
TRACK STATUS [1].
Continue holding down these buttons until "Version Info" appears in the display.
2. Checking the system version of your V Studio.
If the version is lower than the version numbers given below, you must update the
system of your V Studio. Update the system as described below.
•
VS-1680: Version 2.500 or later

■ Backing up your songs
To ensure the safety of your data, we recommend that you back up the songs saved on
your hard disk to CD-R/RW disc, and then initialize your hard disk before updating the
system program. You can restore the backed-up songs to your internal hard disk using
the CD-R RECOVER command.
1. Back up songs (performance data) saved on the hard disk to CD-R/RW discs.
As described in the owner's manual, back up all songs that you want to keep. When doing
so, back up not only the songs in the current drive (partition), but also any songs that are
saved in other partitions.
2. Initialize the hard disk (Drive Initialize).
Songs saved on the hard disk will be completely erased, and the disk will be free of data.
Initialize the hard disk as described in the owner's manual of your V Studio.
When you execute the Drive Initialize command, all songs saved on the hard disk will
be erased. It will not be possible to use the Undo function to recover the erased
songs. If you accidentally erase a song you wanted to keep, there is no way to
recover the song. Roland Corporation can assume no responsibility whatsoever
concerning the recovery of any lost content. Before you execute the Drive Initialize
command, you must back up any song you want to keep.
3. Perform the Shutdown procedure (Owner's Manual of V Studio "Turning Off the
Power") and turn off the power of all equipment connected to the V Studio.
Version number of
the current system appears here.
When starting up in Step 1,
you must continue holding
down the buttons until the
lowest line of the screen
shows "Version Info."
The explanations in this
manual include
illustrations that depict
what should typically be
shown by the display.
Note, however, that your
unit may use a newer,
enhanced version of the
system (e.g., including
newer features), so what
you actually see in the
display may not always
match what appears in the
manual.
