How to Install the Hard Disk
Which was Formatted with
the VS-880EX to the VS-1680
When internal hard disks that have been used by a VS-
880EX are installed in the VS-1680, or when Zip disks
that have been used by a VS-880EX are inserted into a
Zip drive connected to the VS-1680, they are recog-
nized as the initialization disk. In this case, the VS-
1680 can be used for playing back songs recorded with
the VS-880EX and creating new songs as well (Song
New).
• The VS-1680 recognizes a song created with the VS-
880EX as Song Protect is on. You cannot set the Song
Protect off, edit or newly save this song with the VS-
1680.
• If you wish to edit VS-880EX song data with VS-
1680, convert it to VS-1680 song data (Song Import).
• If you wish to delete VS-880EX song data with the
VS-1680, execute Song Erase procedure on the VS-
1680.
How to Recover the Archived Song Data
You can recover the following archived song data with
the VS-1680.
• Song data that has been saved on the Zip disks using
the Archive Copy procedure on the VS-880EX
• Song data that has been backed up to the DAT tapes
using the DAT Backup procedure on the VS-880EX
• Song data that has been backed up to the CD-R discs
or CD-RW discs using the CD-R Backup procedure
on the VS-880EX
Above song data are recovered as a VS-880EX song,
and recognized as Song Protect is on. You cannot set
the Song protect off.
In this case, you should first execute recover pro-
cedure (Archive Extract, DAT Recover or CD-R
Recover). Then convert the recovered song data for
use with the VS-1680 (Song Import).
Loading VS-880EX
Performance Data into the
