Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Howdy,
 this may ba a stupid question but is your file machine cued up to 
transmit when the VZ asks it to? is the file machine armed to record 
when the VZ starts spewing out Sys. Ex. stuff?. The recoeder has to 
be on first,and it can't play back until the VZ is ready for it, so 
it better be armed and waiting for the request.
