How Do I Set CD Markers?
When writing multiple songs to the CD at once, it is
important that CD number markers are created at the
beginning of each song. Otherwise, your audio will be
combined into one long song on the CD. The VS-1824
automatically creates the first CD marker at 00h00m00s00f.
You will need to create CD markers for any additional songs.
Use the following procedure to create CD markers:
1. Locate the VS-1824 to the point where the audio for your
second song begins.
2. Hold [PLAY (DISPLAY)] and press [TAP].
3. Locate the VS-1824 to the beginning of the third song.
4. Hold [PLAY (DISPLAY)] and press [TAP].
5. Continue this procedure for any additional songs.
* Note: CD standards require a song to be at least four seconds
in length. If you try to set a CD marker within four seconds of
another CD marker, the VS-1824 will respond with a "Can't
Set Marker" message.
The Scrub and Preview functions can be very helpful in
locating the exact beginning of your songs. Use the
PREVIEW TO command to make sure that the current time is
right before the audio begins. Also, some CD players will cut
off the beginning of your song if it is too close to the CD
marker. If you set your CD markers around 0.5 second (15
frames) before your song actually begins, it should index
correctly on most CD players.
