<Care and handling of CD-RW/CD-R discs>

With a CD-RW drive, you can use not only CD-RW discs but also CD-R discs. Note that CD-R discs has some restrictions as shown below.

CD-RW disc CD-R disc

You can save (record) data to a disc as many times required. Note that when saving new data, it is recorded after the previously recorded data is erased.

In other words, every time you save new data, all disc data is rewritten. (See "Sav- ing data" described later.)

You can save (record) data to a disc only once. You cannot save data to a recorded disc. You can, of course, load data as many times as required.

<Note>

Do not playback a CD-RW/CD-R disc which has been recorded VF-16 data by other devices than FOSTEX machines. Otherwise, the drive or system used may be damaged.

<About data writing and reading speeds for data save/load>

The writing and reading speeds for data save and load of the VF-16 are automatically set as below.

•Writing speed: according to a CD-RW drive, used however the maximum speed is 8 times.

•Reading speed: according to a CD-RW drive used

The writing speed depends on a CD-RW drive but it is limited to 8 times.

For save/load of the VF-16 data, use discs that can be written at 4 times or higher speed. Do not use discs that only can be written at realtime or twice speed.
