MEMO

The song size is displayed in 1 MB = 1,000,000 Byte units. The displayed size is an approximation.

8.Use [][][ ][ ] to move the cursor, and use the TIME/VALUE dial to set the parameters.

Finalize

A TOC (Table Of Contents) will be written so that the audio CD created by the VS-1680 can be played back on a standard CD player. It is not possible to write additional data to an audio CD that has been finalized.

Off: Write only the song, and do not finalize.

On: Write the song, and then finalize.

OnlyFin.: Only finalize without writing the song. Select this if you have inserted a CD-R disc to which you have already written songs, but which has not yet been finalized.

TOC (Appendices p.64)

Write Method

When two or more songs are written to the disc at the same time, select how the data will be written.

Track at Once: Approximately two seconds of silence will be created between each song. Additional songs can be written later as far as the disc capacity allows.

Disc at Once: Silence will not be created between songs. However, no further data can be written on that disc.

MEMO

Even if “Finalize” was set to “Off,” no further data can be written on a CD-R disc that was written with “Disc at Once” selected.

CD Speed

Select the speed at which the song will be written to the CD-R disc.

x2 (353 KBps): The song will be written at double speed (353 kilobytes per second).

x1 (176 KBps): The song will be written at normal speed (176 kilobytes per second). This will provide higher reliability.

NOTE

With some CD-R discs, the data may not be written correctly if you select “x2 (353 KBps).” In this case, select “x1 (176 KBps).” However, if a CD-RW disc is inserted into the CD-RW drive , it will not be possible to select “x1 (176 KBps)” (the song will be written at double speed).

MEMO

Audio data written to a CD-RW disc cannot be played back on a conventional CD player. In such cases, you can listen to the data using the VS-1680’s CD Player function.
