Connecting the CD-R/CD-RW
Drive
* To prevent malfunction and or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume and turn off the power
on all devices before making any connections.
1.
Make sure both the VS-1680 and the CD-R/CD-RW drive
are off. Connect the CD-R/CD-RW drive to the VS-1680
as shown below. If the CD-R is the only SCSI device
connected to the VS-1680—or if it is the last device in the
SCSI chain—make sure that a terminator plug is
connected to the remaining SCSI port on the CD-R, or
that the CD-R drive’s termination switch is set to “On.”
2.
Turn on the power of the CD-R/CD-RW drive.

3.
Turn on the power of the VS-1680.
* In order for the VS-1680 to properly recognize the CD-R/CD-
RW drive upon boot-up, it is very important to turn the CD-
R/CD-RW drive on first, and then turn on the VS-1680.
4.
Turn on the power of connected audio equipment.
5.
Raise the volume of the audio devices as desired.
Creating an Audio CD
You can create your own audio CD by choosing audio from
two individual tracks in the VS-1680 and writing those to a
CD-R disc. A CD can contain as many as 99 tracks—typically,
each song on a CD is a track—up to a total length of 74
minutes.
To conform to CD audio standard (Red Book), the VS-1680
turns your audio into an “image file,” or “disk image,” that is
written, or “burned,” to the CD. The VS-1680 creates this
image file when you burn the CD.
* An internal IDE hard drive is therefore required for burning
an audio CD. Some countries, such as the United States, ship
the VS-1680 with an internal IDE drive installed.
When an image file is created, it is temporarily stored on the
VS-1680’s internal IDE drive before being written to the
CD-R disc. The song itself can be stored on the internal drive,
or on an external drive or removable disk. The internal drive
must have enough free space to hold the image file—all
available free space on the drive can be used for this purpose,
regardless of the partition in which the space is located. After
the image file is written to the CD-R disc, it is automatically
deleted from the internal IDE drive.
