Stopping the Cooling Fan

When using a mic near the VS-1680 or when mixing
down from the VS-1680 to another recorder, you may
find that noise from the VS-1680's cooling fan to be a
problem. In such cases, you can temporarily turn off
only the cooling fan.
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)].
The System menu icon is displayed. If the System
menu icon does not appear, then press [F6 (EXIT)].
2. Press [F2 (GLOBL)]. If "GLOBL" does not appear
in [F2], first press [PAGE] until "GLOBL" is dis-
played, and then press [F2 (GLOBL)].
3. Press [
], [ ], [
cursor to "Fan Control," then rotate the
TIME/VALUE dial.
Fan Control
This specifies the manner in which the cooling fan is
turned off.
Off: The fan is not turned off (the fan operates
constantly).
Play: The fan stops during playback and record-
ing (including record standby) .
Rec&Play: The fan definitely stops during playback
and recording (including record standby)
for at least 10 minutes.
* Heat that can build up while the cooling fan is stopped for
long periods, for example during extended playback or
when placed in record standby for long stretches, may
damage the internal hard disk. To avoid this problem,
even when "Fan Control" is set to "Play," you should set
the fan so that the stopping of the fan is automatically dis-
abled (so that the fan continues to operate) as tempera-
tures dictate.
When "Fan Control" is set to "Rec&Play," the fan stops
during playback and recording (including record standby)
for at least 10 minutes. At this point, do not repeat
recording or playing back often.
