Erase; Please Read; Erasing Data - Fostex VF-160 Operation Manual

The VF160 provides the following "ERASE" options. Please read the instructions in its entirety prior to actual
operations, to prevent any erroneous understanding of the description. First, start the desired program if there are
several programs set. DO NOT change a program in the middle of the erase procedure.
Erasing a selected section between ABS - REC END.
A selected section between ABS 0 (beginning of disk) and
REC END (REC end point) is erased of the program currently
started up.
Both mono tracks and multiple tracks (including all real
tracks) can be erased if assuming that they are real tracks.
To erase data, it needs to first be on a real track.
When erasing a selected section between ABS 0 - REC END,
END of recording point remains unchanged as shown in
the figure below. Only the section erased of data (meaning
there will be no sound on that section) will be erased. Once
the data is erased there will be more disk space remaining
on the disk (more storage space to save new data).

<Precautions Upon Erasing Data>
As in the case below, if data is recorded on real tracks 1 to
7, and data is erased from tracks 1 and 2, then the REC END,
which the VF160 recognizes, remains the same before and
after erasing data.

Erasing Data

1. Set the starting point and ending point of the section to erase.
Set the starting point to erase to the [AUTO PUNCH IN] key,
and the ending point to erase to the [AUTO PUNCH OUT] key.
For more details on setting data to the memory key refer to
page 34.
2. Press the [EDIT] key in the STOP state. Then select "Erase?".

Erasing from a voluntarily specified point to REC END.
All data from a voluntarily specified point (other than ABS
0) to REC END is erased from the currently started program.
Both mono tracks and multiple tracks can be erased, as in
the case described to the left.
When erasing all tracks to REC END, the REC END point
moves forward.
However, the REC END point may not move forward (Refer
to <Precautions> on this page for more details) even when
erasing data on multiple tracks that are not mono tracks or
all tracks.
Note that the disk space remaining increases as in the case
to the left, after data is erased from a section.

On the other hand, if data is erased from tracks 3 to 7 as
shown in the figure below, the REC END point after erasing
data will be positioned at the REC END point of tracks 1
and 2. In other words, the REC END point prior to erasing
data moves, after the data is erased.

3. Use the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key to select the track to erase.
Mono tracks or multiple tracks (including all real tracks)
can be selected to ERASE. The [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of
the track selected flashes.
