Burning your recording to CD

Note: Please read "Liability and copyright" on p. 9 before con-
tinuing.
(1) Insert an unused or an unfinalized CD-R/RW into
the CD drive.
(2) Press the [BURN] display button on the page shown
above.
If the [BURN] button cannot be selected, insert a
CD-R/RW into the JM-8's slot.
The display looks as follows:
(3) Press the [YES] display button to write your record-
ing to the CD-R/RW you have just inserted.
Press [NO] to abort the operation. Your recording will
not be discarded at this stage.
Note: You can also abort the operation by pressing the
[EXIT] button.
The display now shows a "Working" message to
signal that your recording is written to the CD-R/
RW. This may take some time (depending on the
length of your recording).
When the operation is complete, next, the following
question is displayed:
(4) Press the [YES] display button to finalize the CD-R/
RW.
The display shows the "Working" message while the
CD-R/RW is finalized. The CD is ejected automatically.
Congratulations—your first audio CD is ready!
Note: If you want to add more songs to that disc at a later
stage Press the [NO] display button. See also page 73.
What is 'finalization'?
"Finalization" is the process of writing final informa-
tion (the number of songs, the song numbers, the
playback times, etc.) to a CD-R/RW disc. When you
38
finalize a disc that was recorded and written by the
JM-8, that disc will be playable as a music CD in
another CD player.
Note: After finalization, it will no longer be possible to
record or write additional material to that disc. Only final-
ize the disc when you have completed your music CD and
don't need to write or record any more data.
Note: Never switch off the JM-8 before it has ejected the
CD. Otherwise, your CD will be unusable, and the JM-8 may
be damaged.
Note: Though the JM-8 can play back unfinalized CD-R/
RWs, allowing you to listen to your recording, consumer CD
players cannot.

file

(The audio file is saved in the "My Recordings" folder
on the internal hard disk. See page 76 if you want to

Entering names
• Use the [ø] and [˚] key display buttons (lower right
corner) to select the position for which you wish to
enter a new character.

for some characters, you will need to press one of the
shift display buttons [Î] to enter the desired charac-
ter.
• The key icon with the lock symbol (below the Roland
logo) can be used to write capital letters. Press it (its
"indicator" lights), then press a character key. This
switches off the shift lock function.
• Activate the [SYMBOL] display button to access dif-
ferent characters.
(Pressing the [SYMBOL] button provides access to
more symbols.)
Enter the desired character, then press [LETTER] to
return to the "normal" layout.
• The [ø] display button in the upper right corner allows
you to delete the character indicated by the cursor.
Press and hold it to clear all characters.
