<Basic information>

CD-RW/CD-R disc

When making an audio CD using the VF80EX, inter-

 

nal mastering materials on the current drive are

 

recorded to a CD-RW/CD-R disc (by the CD-DA for-

 

mat).

 

You can record not only a single song but also mul-

 

tiple songs continuously.

<Note>

If an audio CD is made using a CD-R/RW disc, it can be played back only by a player that supports CD-R/RW playback. You cannot playback such a disc by a conventional CD player that does not support CD-R/RW play- back.

In the following operations, we assume that there are one or more programs which are mixed down by the internal mastering mode on the current drive.

<Note>

Key operations of the VF80EX should be done af- ter completing access to a CD-RW/CD-R disc.

4Press the [ENTER/YES] key while “IDE” flashes.

After showing the model name of the connected CD- R/RW drive, the display shows the screen for select- ing the save mode, in which “BkUp” flashes.

To make an audio CD, select “CD-DA”. However, if necessary, you can make the write condition setting by selecting “Setup”. The setteing includes copy pro- tection ON/OFF (by default, “OFF”) and mark enabled/ disabled (by default, “ON”).
