Managing Songs By Program Change Function - Fostex VR800 Owner's Manual

VR800 Owner's Manual (Before Starting)
As described in "Managing the song by Program," the VR800 can set up as many as 99 Programs on the disk.
Setting up a Program requires a small amount of disk space. In other words, disk space is used not only for
storing recorded data but also for storing all setup data. Therefore, make sure that you have enough space on the
disk before you start recording to avoid running out of space (the [OVER !] message flashes in that case).

Managing songs by Program Change function

The VR800 features Program Select function, which enables you to set up to 99 Programs on the disk.
When you format a disk, one Program will be automatically created on the disk. You may create more Programs,
if necessary. You may also delete unnecessary Programs.
The VR800 also features Program Change function that enables you to select one of the Programs set on the disk.
Programs on the disk are something like independent containers. You can record, play, and edit each container
without affecting other containers. You can also name Programs, which is useful for managing songs.
You can name a program.
This example shows a "temporary title" automatically
named to program 1 right after you format the disk.
Refer to page "33" for more information on the

Note:
Total available recording time is always the
maximum available recording time on the disk,
regardless of the number of Programs you set on the
disk. That is, if you use up the maximum recording
time for one Program, you will not be able to record
any data in other Programs.
Note:
As described in the "REMAIN indicator,"
creating additional Programs will consume a small
amount of disk space.
