With the CD-RW disc, you can record audio data and create audio CDs. It is not possible to play back the audio recorded to a CD-RW disc on common CD players, even if the disc has been finalized. To play back a CD-RW, use the CD
Player function on the VS-1680 found in the Song Menu.

With CD-RW discs you can overwrite the contents repeatedly. (It is not possible, however, to save additional song data to a CD-RW disc which already contains song data.) This makes a CD-RW disc a convenient means for making trial
copies before you create final audio CDs with multiple discs.
