8. Press [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor.
Set each of the values.
Digital Out Select
Select either “DIGOUT1” (coaxial) or “DIGOUT2”
(optical) if you are going to back up data using the
DIGITAL OUT connector.
Sample Rate
This sets the sample rate (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz) during
DAT backup. This sample rate has no relation to the
sample rate of the song data. Normally, this is set to 48
kHz.
Backup Wait
When this is set to “On,” the data transmission speed
will be slower. Turn this on when using a disk drive
(such as a Zip drive) whose data read/write speed is
slower. When this is set to “On,” although it takes
longer for the backup to finish, problems arising from
the data transfer (such as data loss) are minimized.
Normally, this is set to “Off.”
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.
9. The approximate time it will take and the number
of tapes needed to back up the data are indicated
in the display. Please prepare the necessary num-
ber of tapes.
10. Press [F4 (Exec)].
A confirmation message appears in the display.
11. Press [YES].
“Please Rec DAT” appears in the display.
12. Put the DAT recorder in record standby, and
press [YES] once more.
13. If you cannot back up everything on one tape, the
operation is carried out for the length of time des-
ignated in “Tape Length.” Insert the next tape
into the DAT recorder and again put it in record
standby, then press [YES].
The backup procedure continues in this fashion. At
this time, we recommend that you write the tape num-
bers on the labels in the order they are backed up.
14. When the backup procedure is finished, “Please
Stop DAT” appears in the display. Stop the DAT
recorded and press [YES].
15. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)]
Return to Play condition.
* If you wish to cancel the backup, then press [EXIT (NO)].
This cancels the process, even if done during the backup
itself. However, the song data recorded up to that point
cannot be loaded into the VS-1680.
