TASCAM 2488neo
87
You can use the 2488neo’s CD-RW drive to back up your
work to disc. You can either use CD-R media (cheaper, but
you can only use it once) or CD-RW media (slightly more
expensive, but you can erase and reuse it many times).
NOTE
The operations all deal with songs on the currently-
selected partition. If the song you want is on another
partition, you must select another disk partition as
the active partition before proceeding (see “Selecting
the active partition” on page 13).
A disc that you make in this way is not an audio
CD—you cannot play it on a CD player, and it can be
read only by a 2488neo.
NOTE
Observe the usual precautions when working with
recordable media: handle discs by their edges, avoid
getting fingerprints or grease on the recording sur-
face, and keep them clean. Also, avoid using hard
pens or pencils or oil-based markers to label the discs.
1 Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc in the disc drive.
2 With the transport stopped, press the MENU key
and select DATA BACKUP, then press YSE/ENTER .
The DATA BACKUP menu appears.
3 Select CD BACKUP and press YSE/ENTER .
5 Select your song using the dial (or the cursors) and
press YES/ENTER . A pop-up message appears tell-
ing you how many discs will be needed to back up
the song.
6 Press YES/ENTER again. A pop-up message tells
you the progress of the backup operation.
A backup may span more than one disc.
7 When the backup is complete or if the first disc
is full, the disc drive tray opens. Remove the disc,
label it and store it in a safe place.
8 Continue the process if more discs are needed until
the backup is complete.
NOTE
If you are backing up to more than one disc, you must
ensure that the discs are identical (from the same
manufacturer). Even if two discs from different manu-
facturers have the same stated capacity, you may not
be able to use them in the same backup operation.
CAUTION
Never turn off the 2488neo's power when data is
being written to disc. If the power is turned off in
the middle of a backup, the loaded disc may become
unusable and song data could be damaged.
Do not press the disc tray eject button when data is
being written to disc as this may cause the operation
to fail.
