Saving Song Data to a DAT
Recorder (Backup)
Use the following procedure to back up the song data
on the current drive.
1. Connect the VS-880EX and the DAT recorder as
shown below.
2. Set the DAT recorder so that it is able to record
digital signals.
* Normally, the sample rate at which song data is transmit-
ted is set at 48 kHz. This sample rate has no relation to
the sample rate of the song data. If your DAT recorded
requires you to set the sample rate, set it to 48 kHz.
3. Press [SONG] several times until “SNG DAT
Backup ?” appears in the display.
4. Press [YES].
“STORE Current?” (Store the current song?) appears
in the display.
5. If you wish to save the current song, press [YES];
if not, then press [NO]. If you have selected a
demo song, then press [NO].
6. “SNG Bak=” appears in the display. Use the
TIME/VALUE dial to select the song that you
wish to save. To save all songs from the current
drive, select “All.”
7. Press PARAMETER [ ].
“Tape Len=” appears in the display.
8. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
Tape Len (Tape Length)
Specify the interval at which backup will be paused.
Set this so that the interval is no less than about five
minutes shorter than the length of tape on which you
are recording. When using tapes with different record-
ing times, set this to the recording time of the shortest
tape.
