About power supply

• Be sure to connect the VF08 to the power supply specified
in the Specifications section of this owner's manual.
Do not use an AC outlet of any other voltage.
• Do not connect the VF08 to the same AC outlet to which
devices that could generate noise (such as a large motor
or dimmer), or the devices that consume a large amount
of power (such as an air conditioning system or large
electric heater) are connected.
• If you use the VF08 in an area with a different power
voltage, first consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex
service station. You can use the VF08 with a power
frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.
• It is very dangerous to use a power cord that is frayed or
damage. In such a case, stop using the VF08 immediately
and ask your dealer to repair the cord.
• To avoid possible electric shock and damage to the VF08,
avoid contact with water or other liquids, or do not handle
the power plug while your hands are wet.
• To prevent possible electric shock and damage to the
VF08, do not remove the main unit cover or reach the
inside the VF08.
• Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects such as
pins, accidentally enter the inside of the VF08 because
this may lead to electric shock or damage. Should water
enter the inside of the VF08, remove the power plug from
AC outlet, and consult your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX
service station.
• To prevent damage to the VF08, be sure to power on the
connected devices first, then turn on the power to the
VF08. When you remove or connect the cables to the
input/output connectors on the VF08, make sure that the
track and master faders and volume controls are set to
"0."
Important!
Equipment name, electrical
ratings, serial number and
other information for the
VF08, are written on bottom
side.
Delay of display indication
• While using the VF08, you may have an experience to see
the delay of the reaction of the time counter or level
meters. This is not a malfunction and it bears no relation
to the actual sound to be recorded or played.
This kind of delay is due to the VF08 design concept in which
the audio processing takes priority over the display
processing when the audio processing gets busy (e.g. when
a sudden fader level change happens). You may always trust
the VF08 to record or playback audio in good condition.

Basic Features of VF08
Precautions upon handling the HD
• Before turning the power off to the VF08, first quit setup
mode and make sure that the recorder section is stopped.
Especially, never attempt to turn off the power to the VF08
while the hard disk is accessing data (the HD ACCESS LED
is lit or flashing). Otherwise, not only will you lose
recorded data, but you may damage to the VF08.
Fostex is not responsible for the data lost during operation
of the VF08.
• Before you change the location of the VF08, pack the unit
in the shipping carton or an impact- resistant case.
Make sure that the VF08 is kept free from external
vibration or impact since the VF08 is very sensitive to
vibration.
• Do not install the VF08 in locations subject to the
following:
* Extremely high or low temperature, or significant
changes in temperature.
* Excessive humidity or dust.
* Excessive changes in power supply voltage.
* Unstable or significantly vibrating or shaking
surfaces.
* Near a strong magnetic field (such as a TV or
speaker).
• If you move the unit from a place with an excessively low
temperature to a warm place, or if you use the VF08 in a
room in which the temperature varies significantly during
winter, condensation may occur on the hard disk or other
parts. In such cases, leave the VF08 for about an hour in
the new location before you turn on the power.

Note on repair

• The VF08 does not use any parts that user can repair
easily. Contact your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX service
station to ask about repairs.
• Use the packing carton designed for the VF08 when you
transport the VF08 to the dealer for repair or return.
If you have discarded the packing box, try to pack the
VF08 completely using shock absorbing materials.
Fostex is not responsible for malfunction or damage due
to incomplete packaging or caused during transport.
