Save/Load of Song data

<Notes for selecting more than one program>

When recording more than one program to a CD- RW/CD-R disc, do not skip any track when assign- ing programs to tracks.

If you skip any track, you cannot record data to the subsequent tracks. In the following example, track 03 is skipped when assigning programs.

So only tracks 01 and 02 will be recorded. Tracks 03 and subsequent tracks can not be recorded.

<Note>

When making an audio CD, if you select a program which consumes more disc space than the record- able space of a CD-RW/CD-R disc, “Disk Full!” ap- pears on the display and you cannot select the pro- gram.

10After specifying the program(s), press the [ENTER/ YES] key while holding down the [RECORD] key.

The VF80 starts recording to the disc, while the dis- play shows the following screen.

When the recording ends, “Save Completed!” appears on the screen, while the disc is automatically ejected from the CD-RW drive.

11When completed, press the [EXIT/NO] key to quit the Setup mode.

<Hint>

When a CD-RW disc on which any data is recorded is set, if you perform step 7 above (i.e. pressing the [ENTER/YES] key when “CD-DA”is flashing), “Not Empty!” appears on the display, followed by the screen for selecting whether erasing recorded data or ejecting the disc.

• If you eject the disc:

Use the [JOG] dial to make “Eject” flashing and then press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The disc is ejected, while “Insert Disk!” appears on the screen.
