9 − Use with a computer

The DV-RA1000HD will work with the following Microsoft operating systems: Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

It will work with the following operating systems from Apple Computer: MacOS 9.2.2 and above, and MacOS X 10.2 and above.

For all the above operating systems, no driver is required. The HD of DV-RA1000HD simply appears as a USB mass storage device.

CAUTION

You should always follow your computer’s instruc- tions on how to disconnect a USB removable drive safely from your system. If you do not do this, there is a risk of data corruption on your computer.

Connecting the DV-RA1000HD to a computer

Only use a high-quality cable certified for use with USB 2.0 systems.

NOTE

2A popup menu on the DV-RA1000HD screen asks you if you want to connect to the computer. Press ENTER (or CANCEL to cancel).

•You can use the DV-RA1000HD with USB 1.1 sys- tems, but the performance will necessarily not be as good as with a USB 2.0 system.

•Avoid connecting the DV-RA1000HD to a com- puter using a USB hub. Always connect the DV-RA1000HD and computer directly.

1Press MENU and select USB. Press ENTER.

The DV-RA1000HD appears as a mass storage unit (on some Microsoft systems, it may initially appear as an “unrecognizable device”; this will also happen if the DV-RA1000HD is not in USB mode when it is con- nected to a PC).

All front panel controls are disabled (except the CANCEL key (see below). Use the computer’s system to eject a disc.

Disconnecting from Windows 2000 / XP systems

With Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the procedure is a little more complex than simply unplugging the DV-RA1000HD.

In the system tray (typically at the bottom right of the screen), you see an icon picture of a PC card and an arrow.

1Left-click this icon to show a popup bar. Click this popup bar to allow the DV-RA1000HD to be removed from the computer.

2Follow the instructions below on disconnecting. (See “After “ejecting” from the computer” be- low.)

Disconnecting from Mac OS X systems

When you are disconnecting the DV-RA1000HD from a Macintosh system (OS 9 or OS X), drag the disk icon to the Trash, or press Command-E (OS X 10.3 also has a button in the Finder which allows ejecting removable media).

When the icon has disappeared from your desktop, you can disconnect the DV-RA1000HD as described below.

After “ejecting” from the computer

When you have used the computer operating system to “eject” or disconnect the DV-RA1000HD from the sys- tem:

1Press CANCEL to start the disconnection process.

2A popup appears. Press ENTER to completely dis- connect the DV-RA1000HD, or CANCEL to halt the disconnection process.

3When the popup disappears, you can disconnect the cable from the computer.
