Additional functions on the new version  
With the new software version of the VF160,  
you can now save or load WAV files using a  
SCSI-type CD-RW/CD-R drive such as the  
optional CD-1A.  
See this manual for details about how to  
save or load WAV files using the optional  
CD-1A or a SCSI-type CD-RW/CD-R drive.  
In addition, functions described in "Making  
an audio CD" on page 120 of the main owner's  
manual are expanded. You can now burn  
more than one disc continuously.  
Please read this supplementary manual  
together with the main owner's manual to  
understand how to make audio CDs using  
a CD-RW/CD-R drive.

<To specify the desired tracks to "From **To **">  
By rotating the [JOG] dial while the left ("From")  
field is flashing, you can select the track number  
from 01 through 24.  
The number in the right ("To") field automatically  
follows the number in the left field (i.e. numbers  
in the left and right fields are always the same.)  
Therefore, if you want to save a single track, you  
just have to set the right ("From") field and do not  
have to set the right ("To") field. For example, "From  
02 To 02" will save only track 2.  
To specify tracks 5 through 12:  
• Enter "05" to the left field while the left field is  
flashing.  
• Press the [F FWD] key to make the right field  
flashing.  
• Enter "12". (Note that the number for the right  
field must be equal to or larger than the left  
field.)  
Immediately after the data save to each disc is completed,  
the disc is automatically ejected, and "Insert Disk" flashes  
on the screen, prompting you to insert the next disc.  
Inserting the next disc resumes the save operation.  
After the save operation is completed, "Save Completed!"  
appears on the screen.  
Finally, the screen shows "From 05 To 12" to save  
tracks 5 through 12.  
After selecting the track(s), press the [ENTER/YES] key.

<AboutWAV files saved>  
WAV file structure.  
A WAV file on the CD-RW/CD-R disc has 24 files (one file per track) in the root directory of the disc.  
The file names are "******01.WAV" through "******24.WAV" where "******" shows the file name specified in step 8 and each number  
(01 - 24) shows the corresponding track number.  
WAV file structure which is saved over more than one disc.  
###### 01. WAV ###### 02. WAV  
###### 24. WAV  
A WAV file is saved in order of track number (from tracks 1 to 24).  
During the save operation over more than one CD-RW/CD-R disc, the VF160 always calculates the available space of the disc  
automatically. If the VF160 knows that the available space gets smaller than the data size of the next track, it will change the  
disc when the data save of the current track is completed.  
WAV file size  
When saving data by the WAV file format to a CD-RW/CD-R disc, the file size may sometimes increase compared with the  
data size in the current drive, depending on the recorded data condition such as the start time, end time, the data amount,  
etc. on each track. For example, if a track is recorded from ABS: 0 (min.) to ABS: 1 (min.) and ABS: 10 (min.) to ABS: 11 (min.),  
the file on the current drive has a length of 2 minutes, while the WAV file has a length of 11 minutes.  
Loading aWAV file  
In the following description, we assume that the optional CD-1A is installed to the VF160 and a CD-RW or CD-R disc  
to which data is saved is set.

The display shows the screen for selecting the Setup  
menu.

"******##.WAV" and cannot load such discs.  
A WAV file with an unique name (the first 6 charac-  
ters) is recognized as an independent backup file and  
can be selected.  
Use the [JOG] dial to select "Load PGM" and press the  
[ENTER/YES] key.  
The display shows the screen for selecting the device  
from which the data is loaded. "IDE" flashes.

To go back to the previous step or about the operation,  
you can also use the [EXIT/NO] key or the [STOP] key.  
When the screen shows "Title" and "size", the selected  
program will be deleted and replaced with the WAV file  
loaded.  
When the screen shows "Title" and "New PGM", the WAV  
file loaded will create a new program.  
<Note>  
If the current drive does not have enough available  
space for loading the WAV file, the size indication on  
the screen shows a negative value ("-***").  
In such a case, select a program that can be replaced  
with the WAV file loaded without causing the disc space  
shortage, or delete unnecessary programs by the "de-  
lete PGM" menu in the Setup mode.  
After selecting the load destination program, press the

[ENTER/YES] key.  
When selecting a new program as the load destination  
(by selecting an option showing "Title" and "New PGM"),  
the load operation immediately starts.  
When selecting an existing program as the load  
destination (by selecting an option showing "Title" and  
"Size"), "Overwrite?" and "Sure?" appear.  
Pressing the [ENTER/YES] key will start the load operation.  
During the load operation, the screen shows something  
like the one as below.  
As the data load goes on, the remaining data size shown  
on the screen counts down.  
When the load operation is completed, "Load Completed!"  
appears on the screen.

The title of the program to which the WAV file is loaded  
is replaced with the WAV file name loaded (the first 6  
characters).
