ROLAND VS-CDRII TURBO FACTS

The Roland VS-CDRII CD Recorder System is a complete hardware solution that
provides users the ability to burn audio CDs and perform data backups
directly from the VS-1880. You can now record, edit, mix, apply effects,
and master to CD entirely in the digital domain. The VS-CDRII also functions
as a CD-ROM player and writer for Macintosh and IBM compatible computers.
Features include:

• Burn CDs directly from selected VS-Workstations
• CD archiving of song data provides an inexpensive backup medium
• Includes Adaptec ToastTM CD-R software for Macintosh and Easy CD CreatorTM CD-R software for PC platforms

Setup

Use the following procedure to set up a VS-1880 for use with the VS-CDRII:

1. With all equipment turned off, connect either SCSI port of the VS-CDRII to the SCSI port of the VS-1880.
2. If you are connecting only the VS-CDRII to your VS-1880, make sure the termination switch on the back of the VS-CDRII is set to the "on" position (switch to the left) and the mode switch is set to the "off" position (switch to the right). If you are using multiple SCSI devices, connect them to the CD-R drive and only terminate the last device in the chain.
3. Set the ID numbers of each SCSI device so that they do not conflict (VS-series workstations default to SCSI ID#7).
4. Turn on the power in the following order: VS-CDRII, VS-1880, then audio equipment.

Writing an Audio CD

Use the following procedure to write an audio CD on the VS-1880:

1. Insert a blank CD-R into the VS-CDRII.
2. Press CD-RW, then press F2 [CD Wt].
3. "CD-R Write Ready?" is displayed. Press YES.
4. "STORE Current?" is displayed. Press NO if the current song is a demo song or if the Song Protect feature is active, otherwise press YES.
5. Tracks 17-16 and 18-16 are the default tracks to be written to CD. If you wish to change these, CURSOR to the "L-ch source track" and R-ch source track" boxes and use the VALUE dial to select the desired tracks.
6. CURSOR to Write Method and use the VALUE dial to select "Disk at Once."
