Chapter 6 Use with a Zip Drive

A Zip drive can be connected to the SCSI connector of
the VS-1680. Be sure to read the owner's manual for
your Zip drive as well.
This chapter will explain the procedures for saving
songs to Zip disks and for returning songs saved to
Zip disks back to the internal hard disk.

Connecting the Zip Drive

Use the following procedure to connect the Zip drive
to the VS-1680.
fig.06-01(connection.eps)
* Once the connections have been completed, turn on power
to your various devices in the order specified. By turning
on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunc-
tion and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
* Always make sure to have the volume level turned down
before switching on power. Even with the volume all the
way down, you may still hear some sound when the power
is switched on, but this is normal, and does not indicate a
malfunction.
1. Turn on the power of the Zip drive.
2. Turn on the power of the VS-1680 with the
POWER switch on the rear panel.
3. Turn on the power of connected audio equip-
ments.
4. Raise the volume of the audio devices to appropri-
ate levels.
* For more detailed information regarding Zip drive con-
nections, including the necessary settings, please refer to
"About SCSI" (Appendices p. 5).
Initializing the Disk
(Drive Initialize)
A new disk just purchased at computer
store or a disk that was used by another
device cannot be used on the VS-1680 as
is. You must initialize the disk so that it can be used
by the VS-1680. When a disk is initialized, the entire
contents are irretrievably lost. Check any such disk
you plan to initialize to make sure that it does not con-
tain anything that you don't want deleted.
Additionally, disks used with the VS-1680 cannot
be used on other devices (such as personal com-
puters).
* If you accidentally delete data that you need, that data
cannot be restored to its previous condition. Roland
Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of
data.
If you are using a drive or disk that has been parti-
tioned, please note that you will not be able to
choose a particular partition that you wish to ini-
tialize. When you carry out a drive initialization, the
whole drive and all its partitions will be initialized at
once.
Here is an example how to initialize new Zip disks.
1. Confirm that power of the Zip drive and the VS-
1680 is turned on.
2. Insert a disk into the Zip drive.
3. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
4. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F6 (UTILITY)].
The Utility menu icon appears in the display.
5. Press [F6 (DrIni)]. If "DrIni" does not appear in
[F6], first press [PAGE] until "DrIni" is displayed,
then press [F6 (DrIni)].
