Chapter 13 CD-RW and Mastering
Writing Songs to CD-R Discs
You can create a CD using a CD-RW disc, but it is impossible
to play back audio data recorded on a CD-RW disc using
most CD players, even if the disc is finalized. Audio data
recorded on a CD-RW disc can be played back using the “CD
Player Function” (p. 191) on the VS-1824. Consider using a
CD-R disc instead of a CD-RW disc—CD-R discs can be
played back on a wider variety of CD players.
1.
Make sure that the CD-R/CD-RW drive is properly
connected (see p. 194).
2. Place a blank CD-R disc in the CD-R/CD-RW drive.
For details refer to the column
“Inserting a CD” (see p. 234).
3. Press [CD-RW/MASTERING].
4. Press [F2 (CD Wt)].
5. “CD-R Write Ready ?” appears in the display. Press
[ENTER/YES].
6. “Store Current ?” appears in the display. Press

8. Select the left and right tracks from the VS-1824 that you
want written to the CD-R. Use [ ], [ ], [ ],
and [ ] and the TIME/VALUE dial to move the
cursor to the V-Track you want written as the left
channel of the CD-R, and press [F3 (Sel L)]. Move the
cursor to the V-Track you want written as the right
channel of the CD-R and press [F4 (Sel R)].
You can use [ ], and [ ] to jump from track to track,
and then use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the desired
V-Track.

If the CD-RW disc you are using contains data, “Erase?”
appears in the display. To erase the existing data, press
[ENTER/YES]. “Erase Disc” appears and all the contents
of the CD-RW disc are erased. If you do not wish to erase
the data, press [EXIT/NO], and insert a new disc.
When erase is finished, “Can’t be played back with
Audio CD player” appears in the display. This is to
confirm that regular audio CD players cannot play back
an audio CD made with a CD-RW disc. Press [ENTER/
YES]. Or press [EXIT/NO] to cancel the procedure.
