Saving Songs to CD-RW Discs (CD-R Backup)

You can save song data stored on the VS-880EX’s hard disk to CD-RW discs. This procedure is called backup. Conversely, the process of loading backed up song data onto the internal hard disk is referred to as recover. Besides all V-track performance data, backed up data also includes Locator, Marker, and Scene set- tings made in the songs.

In CD-R backup, the song data is converted into a data format specifically for saving. This means that it will not be possible to directly play back the song data. If you wish to play back song data copied in archive for- mat, you will need to reload the backed up data into the current drive using the appropriate procedure. Furthermore, when copying a song that does not fit on a single disc, it is copied onto multiple discs according to the free space on the discs.

•It is impossible to save any additional song data to the CD-RW discs or the CD-R discs that already have songs backed up on them. When you back up onto the CD-RW discs, existing contents should be totally erased before the new contents are saved.

•Song data backed up on CD-R discs cannot be rewritten. Thus, this is an appropriate procedure for backing up completed song data in its final form.

•Song data recorded onto Zip disks cannot be backed up onto CD-R discs or CD-RW discs.

•Incorrectly conducting the backup procedure may result in the loss of data. Roland Corporation assumes no liabili- ty concerning such loss of data.

•Roland does not warrant any copied data, regardless of the performance or condition of the CD-R drive.
