Roland VS-880EX owner manual Writing Songs to CD-R Discs, 109, Range

Chapter 8 Use with a CD-RW Drive

Range

The two tracks designated by the VS-880EX for writ- ing to the CD-R disc are written from the beginning of the tracks (normally “00h00m00s00”) to the end (song end). Thus, any blank space on the tracks before or after the actual performance results in wasted space on the CD-R disc. To avoid this, use Track Cut to remove any unused portions on the tracks.

8.Press [SEL (CH EDIT)] for the track to be written to the CD-R R track.

9.The display appears as shown below. Check each of the capacity.
