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

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