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.
