VS-2480/2480CD/2480DVD Q&A
Q: Is it possible to backup additional Project on the
disc which already contains the Project?
A: Upon Project data backup on CD-R, it is always done in
"Disc at Once" and finalizes the disc at the end of backup.
So additional writing of the data is impossible even if the
disc has room.
If you try to write another Project on CD-RW disc, it
should erase entire data existing on the disc.
Q: How long does it take backup the Project on
CD-R/RW?
A: A 600MB Project is equivalent to a CD-R/RW disc. To
backup this with four times speed, it will take about 15
minutes and another 15 minutes to verify the result, 30
minutes in total. This may vary by the Project data
configuration and performance of the hard disk.
Q: What type of PQ signals can I record?
A: P and Q sub channel information is not generated on
VS-2480/2480CD/2480DVD, and CD-R/RW drive
automatically generates in accordance with CUE sheet. In
other words, usual signals on audio CD such as TNO
(track number), INDEX (index number), P-Time
(program time) and A-Time (absolute time) are recorded.
Q: Is it possible to backup a 1GB Project on the
CD-R/RW disc?
A: Yes. You can backup using multiple discs.
Q: Is it possible to capture the audio signal in the
audio CD in the CD-R/RW drive which is
connected to VS-2480/2480CD/2480DVD via
SCSI?
A: Yes. Please refer to the Newly Added Functions manual
"Capture Audio data from Audio CD" (p. 28).
(VS-2480/2480CD/2480DVD system version 2.00 later)
Q: Is it possible to directly playback the Project
data in the CD-R/RW disc?
A: No, such function is not supported.

SCSI DEVICES

Q: Can the SCSI devices such as MO
(230MB/640MB/1.3GB), 250MB Zip, and HD be
used for the backup? What about DVD-RAM?
A: If they accommodate with SCSI-2, they may work, but
Roland does not officially support them. DVD-RAM is
not supported at this moment.
Q: Is it possible to create the "image data" of CD
audio in the external hard disk connected via
SCSI?
A: No. Image data is always created in the internal 3.5" hard
disk.
Q: Is it possible to connect
VS-2480/2480CD/2480DVD with computer via
SCSI to transfer the data?
A: No, such function is not supported.
