An electrical storm recently rendered inactive my computer as well as my fostex vf160ex multitracker.what should i do?thanks

First, check the fuse. You may need a magnifying glass or an ohmmeter to check it. If the fuse is bad, replace it.

If the fuse is OK,or you've replaced it, I'd suggest you take it to a pro audio service center for repair. This sounds like either a major power supply problem, or a shorted component, anywhere in the unit. It may not be cheap, but get a repair estimate so you can decide if it is worth repairing.

User manual for the Fostex MR8HD digital multitracker can be freely downloaded here:
www.fostexinternational.com/public/fostex_download.php?f=mr8hd_owners_manual.pdf

It is intended to record tracks off of microphones or musical instruments, mix the tracks, and produce WAV or MP3 cuts or audio CD's.

Pages 21, 35, and 36 tell you how to make your first recording!

I don't remember telling you to do this...have you checked out google, or youtube?? There is a vast amount of free info on these sites....it is worth checking out....these digital recorders come with their own operating system...you must be talking about a factory reset....That should be in the owners manual....

You can find it on the Japanese Fostex site:

It's on the bottom of the page (v2.08)

Cheers,
