Hey...does anyone here have the VF-80?
I have had a couple of problems with mine...
First, if there is anything plugged into XLR, or 1/4" ports/jacks when you turn your machine on, you may get a "no disk" error...which leads the user to believe that the hard drive is gone/crashed/crapped out.
This is very discouraging, especially if the user has over 50 hours of material on it!!!
Solution: According to Alex Suzuki at Fostex, try unplugging all of your source inputs (except for the power chord, he was sure to tell me that, just in case) and power the system down wait for a while and power it back up...this might solve the problem. If it doesn't, surprise...hope you backed everything up!!!
Lesson: I always return my tray to it's upright position before landing.
Now, I am starting to notice that occasionally that there will be a disk read/write error when I am trying to burn or upload.
Solution: Usually, when I take the cd out and put it back in again, it works fine.
Lesson: Save my pennies and nickels and be patient, before I''ll know it....I'll be wealthy enough to buy something over 1000.00 bucks that won't crap out on me!!!! Meanwhile, I will let this one die on me...it's under warranty anyway.
Well, you know what they say,"you get what you pay for."
Would anyone else like to share their love stories about their VF-80?
