Fan Control
You may find the noise from the VS-1680’s cooling fan to be a
concern when recording with a mic nearby. If this is the case,
you can program the VS-1680 to turn off the fan during
certain operations.
1.
Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System
Menu icon is displayed. If the System Menu icon does
not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].
2.
Press [F2 (GLOBL)]. If “GLOBL” does not appear above
[F2], first press [PAGE] until “GLOBL” appears, and then
press [F2 (GLOBL)].
3.
Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the
cursor to “Fan Control.” Use the TIME/VALUE dial to
change the setting.
Fan Control
This specifies which operations cause the cooling fan to
turn off.
Off:
The Fan Control feature is disabled. The fan operates
constantly.
Play:
The fan stops any time [PLAY] is pressed. This
includes when [PLAY] is pressed to begin recording.
Rec&Play:
The fan stops when Record Standby is enabled, and
stays off during recording and playback.
* While the cooling fan is stopped for long periods of time, heat
can build up and, as a result, may damage the internal hard
drive. To avoid this problem, do not leave this set to “Play” or
“Rec&Play” for long periods of time. Keep the fan running as
much as possible with the Fan Control set to “Off.”
