Using the CD-R/RW Drive to Exchange Data

The BR-900CD’s built-in CD-R/RW drive can be used to exchange data in the following ways:

●Storing of songs and other data on the memory card to CD-R/RW discs (Backup)

●Reading songs and other backup data back into the memory card (Recover)

●Exchanging of waveform data with a PC

When you use the CD-R/RW drive, you must use only the supplied AC adaptor. The CD-R/RW drive cannot be used while running on battery power.

Saving Recorded Songs to CD-R/RW Discs (Backup)

Although the songs you’ve recorded and created are stored on the memory card, all of this data would be lost in the unlikely event that the memory card was damaged. For this reason, we recommend that you also save your songs on CD- R/RW discs (Backup).

Once songs have been backed up in this way, it will also be possible to read them from the CD-R/RW discs into another BR-900CD.

■Precautions for backup

•If a CD-R disc selected for backup already contains data, the message “Not Blank Disc!” will appear and backup will not be possible. Always use an empty disc for this operation. If, on the other hand, you are using a CD-RW disc that already contains data, the message “Erase Disc?” will be displayed. If you then press [ENTER] (YES), the BR-900CD will begin erasing data from this disc.

•If the total size of the songs and other data you intend to back up exceeds the capacity of a single CD-R/RW disc, you will be able to perform a backup using as many discs as necessary. In this case, you will need to have a number of blank CD-R/RW discs on hand, and during the backup process, you should insert and remove them as requested on-screen.

•To cancel writing to a CD-R/RW disc, press [EXIT] (NO). When the message “Cancel?” appears, press [ENTER] (YES) to confirm cancellation. (A certain amount of time may pass between pressing of [EXIT] (NO) and display of the confirmation message.) Please note, however, that no guarantee can be made regarding the state of the data written before cancellation.
