Saving Your Recordings

Song data that you recorded or edited will be lost if you
simply turn the power off. Also, a recorded song can be lost
due to unforeseen accidents, such as a power failure or
power outage. Once lost, the song cannot be restored to its
previous condition. To prevent this from happening, use the
following procedure to save your songs on the drive.
* When handling important song data, or when using the VS-
1680 for extended periods, we strongly recommend you use the
Song Store procedure frequently.
1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [ZERO/(STORE)].
2. "STORE OK?" appears in the display. Press [YES]. If the
song is saved properly, the startup display reappears. If
you wish to cancel the STORE command, press [NO].
* You cannot save changes or edits made to the demo songs
("Protecting Songs," p. 49) . This means if you press [YES] at
Step 2 when a demo song is selected, the message "Song
Protected" will appear, and the procedure will not continue.
