Fostex VR800 - Manual

Quick Operation Guide
Welcome to the VR800
Thank you for choosing the Fostex digital multitrack recorder Model VR800.
The VR800 is a digital multitrack recorder that is designed to connect to a digital mixing
console equipped with adat digital I/O. For recording media, it uses removable disks, such as
SCSI Zip and MO drive disks, fixed disks, or 3.5-inch E-IDE hard disks, providing you with a
maximum of eight track simultaneous recording and playback.
The VR800 also features high quality recording and playback, and non-destructive editing
thanks to digital recording technology. The superior tonal quality and easy operation of the
VR800, compared to a conventional analog multitracker, will expand your creative musical
world.
Documentation for the VR800 consists of two parts: the Quick Operation Guide (this book)
and the Owner’s Manual. The Quick Operation Guide introduces you to the basic operations
of the multitrack recorder, including “Connecting a SCSI drive,” “Installing the E-IDE hard
disk,” “Formatting a disk,” “Connecting the digital mixer,” “Initial recording,” “Overdubbing,”
“Ping-pong recording,” and “Mixdown,” so that you can start using your new recorder
immediately. The Owner’s Manual provides you with detailed information on the VR800’s
many functions.
Please read both books thoroughly to make the best use of your VR800. And, be sure to read
the “Precautions” and “Notes on Operating the VR800” in the Owner’s Manual.
