Converting BR-8 songs and loading them into the BR-1180CD (Convert BR-8 Songs)

Now, BR-1180CD users who have computers equipped with a Zip drive and CD-R/RW drive can load songs from BR-8 disks.

1.

Copy the entire contents of the BR-8 Zip disk to the computer’s hard disk.

At this time, confirm that all of the necessary files are included. The absence of even one required file results in file names being altered, which prevents the data from being loaded properly.

Required files:

• DISKINFO.VS3

• SONGLIST.VR8

• SONG????.VS3\ folder and all files under it

2.

Write all of the copied files and folders as is to a CD-R or CD-RW.

Write using only ISO 9660 Level 2 Mode 1. Use of other formats may not allow the data to be written correctly.

Additionally, complete the writing by finalizing the disc

(Close Session).

3.

Place the CD-R/CD-RW with the data written to it in the BR-1180CD.

4.

Press the CD-R/RW [DATA SAVE/LOAD] button, use

[CURSOR] to move the cursor to “CONVERT BR-8

SONGS,” then press [ENTER].

“Now Checking...” is displayed, and a list of the BR-8’s songs is displayed.

5.

Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the song you want to load, then press [ENTER].

“Now Reading...” appears, and loading of the song begins.

The process is finished when “Complete!” appears.

* Note that the amount of space that a song occupies on disk can change when the song is converted. This is due to the different formats and file types used for the song.

* The BR-8 is not able to play back phrases less than one second in length. In contrast, the BR-1180CD’s specifications are such that it is able to play phrases as short as 0.5 seconds (but not shorter). Note that, due to this difference in specifications, the sound of performances may differ when short phrases that cannot be played using the BR-8 are played on the BR-

1180CD.
