Creating an Original Audio CD
12. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to specify whether or not to finalize the
CD-R/RW disc after writing the project. For this example, select “Off.”
13. Press []. The cursor will move to “Write Method.”
14. When two or more projects are written to the disc at the same time, select
how the data will be written. For this example, select “Track at Once.”
15. Press []. The cursor will move to “CD Speed.”
Finalize
“Finalize” means to write the TOC (Table Of Contents) to the audio CD created by
the VS-2480/2480CD.
If a CD-R disc has not been finalized, additional songs can be written to the unused
area of that disc. However, such a disc cannot be played back on a conventional CD
player. The CD player function of the VS-2480/2480CD allows you to audition a disc
even before (or after) it has been finalized.
A finalized CD-R disc can be played back on a conventional CD player in the same
way as a commercial pre-recorded audio CD. However it will no longer be possible
to record additional songs, even if there is unused space on that disc.

For example, if you have
assigned track numbers to
a medley of songs, disk at
Once would be the
appropriate choice. This is
b
ecause Track at Once
would add approximately
two seconds of silence,
which would cause the
playback to sound
fragmented.

Disc at Once:
The project data and the
track number markers
attached to the project data
will be written to the
CD-R/RW disc without

additional project data
cannot be added later to a
CD-R/RW disc that was
written using Disc at Once.
