Newly Added Audio Cd Playback Mode; Switching The Playback Mode - Fostex VF160 Supplement Owner's Manual

Newly added audio CD playback mode

In version 2.0, the audio CD playback mode is newly added. This mode allows playing back
an audio CD (regardless of whether it is made using the VF160 or on the market) using the
CD-R/RW drive (model CD-1A) which is optionally installed.
By switching the HDD playback mode to the audio CD playback mode, you can operate the
CD-R/RW drive from the transport keys ([PLAY], etc) on the VF160 panel for monitoring an
audio CD.
<Notes>
• You can play back an audio CD only when the optional CD-1A is installed. You cannot play back an
audio CD by a SCSIs CD-R/RW drive.
• You cannot play back an audio CD which is copy-protected.
• Never try to play back a disc which is not an audio CD (CD-DA). This may damage the VF160.
• In the audio CD playback mode, you can use functions such as locate, scrub, auto function and
effect editing, as with internal HDD playback. However, note that the access speed is not
guaranteed.

Switching the playback mode

When turning the power on, the VF160 always starts up in the internal HDD playback
mode. In the following description, it is assumed that the optional CD-R/RW drive is
installed to the VF160 and an audio CD (burned using the VF160 or on the market) is
inserted to the drive.
• When the HDD is stopped, press the [SCRUB] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key.
After the associated warning message as shown below appears, the playback mode changes.
Executing the above operation alternatively switches the playback mode. In the audio CD
playback mode, only the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] keys for tracks 1, 2 and [MASTER] are lit, while
the other [CH STATUS/CH SEL] keys are unlit, showing that only the faders for track 1, 2 and
[MASTER] are effective. (This means that the playback level of the audio CD is adjusted using
the faders for tracks 1, 2 and [MASTER].)
<Caution>
When switching the playback mode, make sure that the VF160 is not accessing the CD-R/RW
disc.
