as a CD-ROM player and writer for Macintosh and IBM compatible computers.

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

Setup

Use the following procedure to set up the VS-880EX 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-880EX.
2. If you are connecting only the VS-CDRII to your VS-880EX, 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 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-880EX, then audio equipment.

Note: The current VS-CDRII requires the VS-880EX to have at least system version 2.005. If you need to update your VS-workstation, you can obtain these files along with updating instructions from the Roland US Website (www.rolandus.com) or by calling our Product Support department at 323-890-374.
