Making The Chain Play List; Setting The Chain Play Mode - Fostex VF160EX Operation Manual

Setting the chain play mode

When you have made the chain play list, set the chain
play mode. The following procedure shows how to set
the chain play mode after making the chain play list
as described before.
1. While "OFF" which is the current option of the "Chain
Play" mode setting is flashing on the screen, rotate the
[JOG] dial to select a desired chain play mode option.
You can select a chain play mode option from among
"Pause", "A. Play" and "Repeat", besides "Off".
<Notes>
• The chain play mode setting returns to the default
setting ("Off") when turning off the power or
executing play list editing (described later).
Therefore, each time you want to carry out chain
play after turning on the power or executing play list
editing, you must set the chain play mode.
• If you are going to set the chain play mode while the
chain play list has not been made, "[WARNING] Illegal
Play List!" is shown and the setting is invalid.
2. After selecting the desired option, press the [ENTER/
YES] key.
The VF160EX enters the selected play mode, while the
Setup mode exits. The display shows the beginning (ABS
0, or the Auto Return Start point) of the program set to
step 1 in the play list. In this condition, pressing the
[PLAY] key starts playback of the play list by the selected
play mode (if the play mode is set to "A. Play" or "Repeat",
playback starts automatically).
The current play mode is shown for a few seconds after
starting playback, as shown in the example below (in this
example, the play mode is set to Auto Play).

<Notes when the chain play mode is set to any option
but "Off">
• When the chain play mode is set to any option but
"Off", you cannot make the auto punch
mode or auto function mode active. If you are
going to make either of them active,
"[WARNING] Void! Chain Play" is shown and the
operation is invalid.
• When setting the chain play mode to "Repeat" and
exiting the setup mode, the recorder
automatically starts playback from the start point
(the ABS 0 or Auto Return Start point )of
the first program in the chain list. (When setting
the chain play mode to "Pause" or "A. Play" and
exiting the setup mode, the recorder moves to the
beginning of the first program in the chain list.
• When the chain play mode is set to any option but
"Off", you can change the current program (by
[PGM SEL] key) only from among the programs set
to the chain play list (see "Selecting a program from
the chain play list" on page 100).
<Notes on playing back the chain play list>
When the play mode is set to any option but "Off", the
recorder immediately locates to the start point of the
program set to step 1 (C01) in the play list, and then
stops.
If you move the recorder to a position out of the range
between the Auto Return Start and End points (or after
the REC END point), "Out of Zone" is shown instead of
the step number. In such a condition, the recorder
does not correctly execute chain play. The worst case
is that you start chain play when the recorder position
is after the Auto Return End point (or the REC END
point). The recorder never moves to the next program.
To move the recorder to the start point of a program,
reselect a program you want to start chain play from
by following the procedure described below.
