<Notes for using a CD-RW drive>
• Use a high-impedance SCSI cable for connection between the VF160 and a CD-RW drive. The cable
length should be as short as possible.
• Only a single SCSI device can be connected to the VF160 SCSI port. Attach an active terminator to the
CD-RW drive used. If you attach a terminator that is not active, you may not be able to save or load data
correctly.
• When a CD-RW drive connected to the VF160 is turned on, only the eject switch of the drive can be used.
Other controls such as the level control and the play button are not effective.
Save/load of Song Data Using a CD-RW drive
Using a CD-RW drive, in addition to make backup of song data as with other SCSI devices such as zip and
MO drives, you can also make an audio CD.
• Save
You can only a single selected program data to a disc
regardless of the program data amount.
You cannot save more than one program data even if
there are enough disc space.
However, you can save a program data to more than
one disc if the data amount is larger than a disc space.
As shown on the right, you can save almost all neces-
sary information such as song data of all tracks (real
and additional tracks) and mixer scene data, as with
using other SCSI devices.
• Load
Unlike data load using other SCSI drives, data loading
using a CD-RW drive is taken place after a “
new pro-
gram
” is created in the current drive (the load destina-
tion). You cannot overwrite an existing program with
the loaded data.
The newly created program is numbered the next num-
ber to the highest existing program number.
<Note>
You can save or load data using a CD-RW drive only with the FDMS-3 (Fostex Digital Management System-3) format and CD-
DA format. Note that, unlike other SCSI devices, you cannot save or load data with the WAV file format. See the main manual
for saving/loading a WAV file.

• Creating an audio CD
You can make an audio CD by recording sound data of tracks 1 and 2 between the “
CLIPBOARD IN point
” and “
CLIPBOARD
OUT point
” to a CD-RW/CD-R disc.
• Loading an audio CD data
You can load a material on a (commercial or created) audio CD to a program of the VF160.
Audio data is loaded to a “
new program
” automatically created by the unit, which is the same way as backup data loading.
The unit never overwrites the existing program.

<Notes for using the optional CD-RW drive (Model CD-1A)>
After purchasing the CD-1A, install it correctly before use.
For details about how to install the CD-1A, see 145 page of this
manual or the CD-1A installation manual.
