4. When shut down has been completed properly,
“PowerOFF/RESTART” appears in the display.
5. Turn down the volume of your audio equipment.
6. Turn off the power of the audio equipment.
7. Turn off the power of the VS-1680 with the
POWER switch on the rear panel.
* After the power is turned off, the momentum of the hard
disk causes it to continue spinning for a short while. Any
physical shock to the unit during this time may damage
the hard disk. Avoid moving the VS-1680 with a hard
disk installed for at least 30 seconds after turning off the
power.
If “STORE Current?” is Displayed
When you begin to execute the various operations
such as shutdown, the message “STORE Current?”
(Save the current song?) is displayed. This message
asks you whether you wish to save the currently
selected song to the disk drive. If you wish to save the
song before continuing with the shutdown, press
[YES]. If you want to proceed with the shutdown
without saving the song, press [NO].
If you press [YES] in response to the “STORE
Current?” message when Song Protect is on, or when
if you have selected a demo song, the message “Song
Protected” is displayed, and you will be unable to save
the song. Before editing a song, set Song Protect to
“Off” (p. 82). Otherwise, press [NO].
Restarting
You can restart the VS-1680 without turning off the
rear panel POWER switch. This is convenient when
switching disks in drives (such as the Zip drive) con-
nected to the VS-1680’s SCSI connector. Use the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Perform the shutdown procedure as described in
“Turning Off the Power” (p. 32).
2. Confirm that “PowerOFF/RESTART” appears in
the display.
3. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [RESTART
(PLAY)].
This restarts the VS-1680.
