fadsoundz,
I don't know if anyone answered your original question: Assuming you have stopped the recording, and the "Please Wait . . ." message has vanished, just shut it off. There is no power-off procedure.
If you do shut it off (or lose power) during recording, the in-progress tracks will be lost.
Out of the box, you should be able to output up to six separate sends: Two aux (mixable) + Mains (L/R, mixable) + Two S/PDIF tracks. Out of the box, you can record up to 10 simultaneous channels---8 analog (HiZ/LoZinputs) inputs plus 2 S/PDIF TOSlink channels. Add an ADAT unit like an OctoPre or
a Behri ADA8000, and you can have 16-track simultaneous recording and up to 12 outputs (8 separate tracks via ADAT unit output, L/R mains, and two aux outputs).

P.S.: I just checked and I have recordings dating back to 2003 from
my VF160CD. The original hard drive (easily swapable) still works. I've recorded over 500 4-hour gigs with the unit, archived thousands and thousands of CD-Rs, internally mixed and burned about five thousand live sets to CD-R. There are times the thing has been running (not just idling---running) for two days in a row. The thing is a freakin' tank.
