Chapter 19 Using a DAT Recorder (DAT Backup)

Recovering Data from a DAT

DAT Recover

Use the following procedure to load song data that was backed up to a DAT recorder. If two or more songs were saved together during the backup, the data of all songs will be loaded.

*You can recover VS-880/880EX/1680 song data backed up using DAT backup. However you cannot edit or resave the recovered data on the VS-1824 while it is still in a VS-880/ 880EX/1680 format. If you wish to edit VS-880/880EX/1680 song data with the VS-1824, you will need to convert it to VS- 1824 format using the Song Import procedure (p. 246).

1.Connect the VS-1824 and the DAT recorder as shown below.

When this is set to “On,” the destination drive is initialized before the DAT Recover procedure is carried out. This will erase all songs from the destination drive. If you want to recover a song from DAT without erasing any songs on the current drive, make sure this is set to “Off.”

7.Press [F4 (Exec)].

8.Press [ENTER/YES] to save changes to the current song. “Please Play DAT” appears in the display, or press [EXIT/NO] to exit the procedure.

9.Put the DAT recorder in play. The data begins to load.

10.If you have backed up data to multiple tapes, the operation will pause when the end of each tape is reached. Insert the next-numbered tape as indicated in the display, press [ENTER/YES], and start the DAT recorder playing again.
