* The above-listed recording times are approximate. Times may
vary slightly depending on the specifications of the disk drive
and on the number of songs that were created.
* In CDR recording mode, two tracks are always used in a pair
(channel link is on), so recording time is half the above-listed.
* Maximum recording time of VS-2400CD is approximately four
times of above recording time. (10 GB x 4 Partitions)
