Precautions
About power supply
• Be sure to connect the VF160 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 VF160 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 VF160 in an area with a different power
voltage, first consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex
service station. You can use the VF160 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 VF160
immediately and ask your dealer to repair the cord.
• To avoid possible electric shock and damage to the
VF160, 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
VF160, do not remove the main unit cover or reach
the inside the VF160.
• Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects such
as pins, accidentally enter the inside of the VF160
because this may lead to electric shock or damage.
Should water enter the inside of the VF160, remove
the power plug from AC outlet, and consult your
dealer or the nearest FOSTEX service station.
• To prevent damage to the VF160, be sure to power
on the connected devices first, then turn on the
power to the VF160. When you remove or connect
the cables to the input/output connectors on the
VF160, make sure that the channel faders and
volume controls are set to “0.”
• Before turning the power off to the VF160, first quit
setup mode and make sure that the recorder section
is stopped. Especially, never attempt to turn off the
power to the VF160 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 VF160.
Fostex is not responsible for the data lost during
operation of the VF160.
• Before you change the location of the VF160, pack
the unit in the shipping carton or an impact-resistant
case. Make sure that the VF160 is kept free from
external vibration or impact since the VF160 is very
sensitive to vibration.
• Do not install the VF160 in locations subject to the
following:
• If you move the unit from a place with an excessively
low temperature to a warm place, or if you use the
VF160 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 VF160 for about an hour in the new location
before you turn on the power.
Note on repair
• The VF160 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 VF160 when
you transport the VF160 to the dealer for repair or
return. If you have discarded the packing box, try
to pack the VF160 completely using shock absorbing
materials. Fostex is not responsible for malfunction
or damage due to incomplete packaging or caused
during transport.
About copyrights
• It is prohibited by law to use any part of a CD
recording or video images or audio data for which
copyright is possessed by a third party for
commercial purposes such as contents, broadcasts,
sales, or distribution-any purpose other than for
your personal pleasure.
About damage
• Fostex is not responsible for any “direct damage” or
“indirect damage” caused by using the VF160.
* 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).
