CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Section I. GENERAL INFORMATION
1-1. INTRODUCTION.
The Eventide VR240 Audio Logging Recorder is an enormous technological advance over the
old-technology reel-to-reel loggers. The VR240 is more efficient and more convenient in almost
every way. It uses less media, less electricity, and less space, yet it provides better quality and
more features than previously possible.
All of these improvements are made possible by the digital technology employed in the VR240.
Instead of recording an analog signal on physically cumbersome tapes, the VR240 converts all
of its inputs to digital form and records them on, among others, “DDS” cassettes or Rewriteable
DVD-RAM. These media will fit in the palm of your hand, yet each can hold up to 800 channel-
hours of audio or more. The digital format also allows additional information to be stored, such
as time codes and channel content information.
Despite its advanced features, the VR240 Audio Logging Recorder was designed for simple
operation. In addition to the vacuum fluorescent display (VFD), there is a set of buttons directly
under the media transport mechanism. These transport control keys emulate the familiar
controls of an ordinary tape recorder. The square buttons under the VFD access a set of
“menus” which control some of the more advanced features of the unit. These buttons are soft
keys whose functions vary as you go through the different menus. One either side of the soft
keys is rectangular keys marked by a left and right arrow. Pressing these keys will either move
you through menu options or, when appropriate, move the cursor around options displayed on
the screen. Finally, there is the keypad that facilitates the entry of parameters and a password.
An LED array on the front panel indicates the status of each channel.
The VR240 is convenient and reliable to use, both for recording and for retrieving recordings
once made. We hope you will enjoy using it.
1-2. CONFIGURATIONS.
Your VR240 has several features and options that are determined when the unit is ordered. It
may have one or two media drives. It may have 8, 16, or 24 audio input channels. In addition,
the inputs may be configured differently depending upon your audio signal sources. Finally, an
optional label printer provides a provision for automatic media labeling. As you unpack your
VR240, please confirm that the unit you received is the unit you ordered. For your convenience,
the following page is provided to record your unit’s configuration. We suggest that you complete
it now. This information will be required if you should need to communicate with the factory
about your VR240.

CHAPTER 2
PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION
Section I. FAMILIARIZATION
2-1. GENERAL.
This section will familiarize you with the VR240. You will learn how to format media, monitor live
communications, begin the record process, enable/disable channels for playback, adjust the
speaker volume, and scroll between the two archive drives and the internal hard disk. It is
recommended that the initial setup be done prior to installing the unit in its permanent operating
location. Chapter 3 of the Operator’s Manual discusses the detailed configuration procedures
for setting up your unit at your facility.
NOTE
It is assumed in this section that you have an audio input signal
available to connect to the Channel One input of the VR240.
2-2. INITIAL SETUP.
2-2.1 Telephone Board Connection (Phoenix Connector).
Locate an active telephone line in the area you are working.
Connect the telephone line “tip” lead to pin 15 and the “ring” lead to pin 16 of the 16 contact
input connector provided with the unit (note: input is not polarity sensitive). See Figure 2-1.
2-2.2 Audio Board (Amphenol Connector).
Obtain an approximately “line level” signal source. (Something as simple as a “Walkman” or
portable CD player will do.)
Connect the signal source line output to pins 1 and 26 of the top connector on the rear of the
VR240 (using the male 50-pin connector provided). See Figure 2-1.
2-2.3 Additional Hardware.
One blank medium per drive is provided with each VR240. No other hardware is necessary for
this exercise. Monitor the VR240 with its internal speaker. You can also use a set of
headphones (with a mono or stereo phono plug).

2-3 INITIAL TURN-ON. NOTE
The VR240 is factory-configured for the line voltage of the country
of installation. Fuse size is 2A, 250V. Refer to paragraph 2-7 for
ensuring correct power.
2-3.1 Power.
The VR240 does not have an ON/OFF switch. To apply power, first plug the power cord into
the rear panel power connector. Next, plug the other end of the cord into a power outlet. The
logger turns on and operates continuously when plugged in.
2-3.2 Self Test.
The unit performs a self-test after power is applied. Then the following screen will appear on
the VFD display:
2-3.3 Front Panel Controls.
There are three sets of controls on the VR240 front panel. The transport control keys are
immediately underneath the drive(s). The keypad is on the right of the panel above the
headphone jack. The soft keys are underneath the VFD display. Refer to Section III of this
chapter for a more detailed description of the front panel controls and indicators.
