Q&A
Instead of using DAT, can I back up
songs on MDs?
You cannot back up data on MDs. As data on MDs is
compressed before being recorded, the VS-1680's song
data would also be compressed before recording, mak-
ing it unrecoverable. DCC also cannot be used in back-
ing up data for the same reason.
CD-R Drives
Can't I use a CD-R drive other than the
CD-R drive that is designated by
Roland?
The VS-1680 can use the CD-R drive that is designated
by Roland only. Other CD-R drives cannot be used.
What kind of disks does it use?
Any CD-R disc can be used, regardless of recording
length. However, CD-RW discs cannot be used.
Can song data be written to the discs
in Macintosh AIFF File format?
No. Only audio CDs and CD-Rs for backup are sup-
ported by the VS-1680.
I made an audio CD on the CD-R drive,
but it doesn't play on my consumer
CD player.
The finalized process was not carried out. When mak-
ing audio CDs, set "Finalize" to "On" or "OnlyFin."
