*You cannot set markers for four seconds from the top of songs (“00h00m00s00”).

*Due to audio CD standards, songs must be at least four seconds long. Thus, if you try to set two markers as track numbers within four seconds of each other, “Can’t Set Marker” appears on the display, and the process cannot be carried out. Reset the track number markers so there is an interval greater than four seconds between them.

*Audio CD standards allow up to 99 songs to be stored on one disc. Furthermore, even if no track number marker is set at the beginning of the song, it is still used for the beginning of the first song. Thus, you can set up to 98 markers as track numbers.

Writing the Song Data (Finalize)

To make CD-R discs prepared with the VS-880EX playable on ordinary CD players, write a TOC (Table of Contents). This is referred to as Finalize. CD-R discs that have undergone the finalize procedure can no longer have additional material written to them.
