In this “Drive Setting,” a switch is made between the current drive (E-IDE hard disk) and the backup drive
(Removable SCSI drive). The saved song data can be played back by switching to the backup drive (SCSI).
However, this will be only to the extent of confirming the saved data and should all 8 tracks be played back,
it may create drop out of sound, and in some SCSI equipment, the channel possible for playback could be
changed.

If power to the VF08 is switched again, the drive will automatically switch to current drive (E-IDE).
In order to take out the removable disk when set to backup drive, press the [EXIT/NO] key while holding down the
