Chapter 17 Using Hard Drives
Chapter 17
There are two ways to use Song Copy: Song Copy Playable
and Song Copy Archives. The method you choose depends
on the amount of free space on the destination disk (for
example, 100 MB for Zip disks). The size of the current song
is shown in the display.
Use Song Copy Playable when the total size of the song is
less than the total size of available space on the removable
disk drive. For example, use Song Copy Playable to copy a
93MB song onto a 100MB disk.

Use Song Copy Archives for removable drives when the total
size of the song is more than the total size of available space
on the disk. For example, use Song Copy Archives to copy a
247MB song onto three 100MB disks. The song data is
converted into a data format specifically for saving it across
multiple disks (archives format). The song is copied across
multiple disks according to the available space on each disk.
This means it is not possible to directly play back song data
from one disk. To play back song data copied using the Song
Copy Archives format, it must first be copied back onto the
VS-1680’s hard drive using the Song Copy Extract procedure.
If song data is copied onto disks that already have data on
them, the older data will be erased.

Before copying a song to an external removable drive, you
may want to use Optimize (See "Song Optimize," p. 214) to
reduce the memory required to store the song.
Song Copy Playable
Use the following procedure to copy a song from the VS-
1680’s internal hard drive to a removable disk drive (such as
a Zip drive) that is set to SCSI ID 5:

copy as the current drive.

songs. From here, after you have placed a Mark at the
song(s) you want to copy, press [F1 (Back)].
