MR-8 Owner’s Manual

Exportingdatatoa personalcomputer

The MR-8 is equipped with the USB port for direct connection to a personal computer using a USB cable. This allows you to export stereo WAV file data, which is converted from a pair of mono WAV files for tracks 7/8, to your computer. The exported data can be played back or edited using a computer's music software, or used as a source when burning an original audio CD using a CD-RW drive. You can also export whole song data to a personal computer for backup only when the remaining space of a CompactFlash card becomes small.

Connection to a personal computer

Connect the [USB] port of the MR-8 to the USB port of a personal computer using a USB cable, as shown above. (A USB cable is not supplied with the MR-8.)

<Note>

When the MR-8 is connected to a computer, we recommend to use the AC adaptor for supplying the stable power to the MR-8.

<Note>

Only Windows Me, 2000 or XP computers with the USB port(s) can be used with the MR-8. Other computers (such as Macintosh machines) cannot be used.

Check your computer before making connec- tion.

Notes on exporting a file

You can export only a stereo WAV file which is converted from a pair of mono WAV files for tracks 7/8, as described earlier in "WAV file conversion".

A mono WAV file or undo file cannot be ex- ported to a personal computer.

See the next page for details about the export- able files.

<Note on backup>

When exporting whole data of a song on a card to a personal computer for backup only, always export the whole song folder, instead of individual track data.

<Tip>

By using a card reader for CompactFlash cards on the market, you can back up MR- 8 song data to a personal computer which does not provides the USB port.
