Saving and loading song data via a SCSI drive
This section explains how to save and load data to and from a SCSI backup drive and a 3.5-inch E-IDE hard disk.
Recording mode on the current drive does not affect this operation. Refer to the “Saving and loading song data
between two SCSI drives” for more information on the procedure.
Connect a SCSI backup drive (ID #=6) to the SCSI connector on the 3.5-inch hard disk in the VR800, as shown below.
<Note on connections>
Be sure to connect a SCSI backup drive to the SCSI connector. Make sure that the ID number for the SCSI backup
drive is set to “6.”
Note:
As shown in the drawing, when the SCSI drive assigned for the current drive is daisy chained to the SCSI drive for
backup and also connected to an 3.5-inch E-IDE hard disk which is in the current drive mode, please note the following items.
When the 3.5-inch E-IDE hard disk is assigned as the current drive:
Switch on power to VR800 only and not to the two SCSI drives connected.
If save/load of song data is to be executed using the SCSI drive assigned for backup, switch on power to the VR800 and the
SCSI drive assigned for backup. Do not switch on power to the SCSI drive assigned for the current drive. By utilizing either
method, VR800 will always recognaize the 3.5-inch E-IDE hard disk as the current drive.
In order to use the SCSI drive as the current drive, power to any equipment that is interconnected must, of course, be
switched on. The SCSI drive will automatically switch to the current drive mode.
