PD-6DVD Location Recorder (Exporting files using IEEE1394)

Connection between the PD-6 and a PC

Use either method (1 or 2) below for connecting the PD-6 to a PC.

It is assumed that the PC has already started up in the following description.

<Note>

In the following procedure, we assume that a recorded DVD-RAM disk is set to the PD-6 and an audio file is loaded. If no disk is set or the door is not locked, you cannot make the “IEEE1394” menu setting in the Utility mode.

1)Set the “IEEE1394” menu in the Utility mode to “CONNECT”, and turn off the PD-6 power (the menu setting is memorized even if the PD-6 is turned off). Then, connect between the PD-6 and the PC using an IEEE1394 cable, and turn on the PD-6 power.

2)While the PD-6 power is off, connect between the PD-6 and the PC using an IEEE1394 cable, and then turn on the PD-6 power while holding down the [SHIFT] key (the “IEEE1394” menu is automatically set to “CONNECT”).

How to disconnect the PD-6

To disconnect the PD-6 from the PC, make the PC ready for disconnecting the PD-6, and disconnect the IEEE1394 cable, then set the “IEEE1394” menu to “DISCONNECT”.

The procedure for making the PC ready for disconnecting the PD-6 differs depending on the PC. Please refer to the instructions of the PC.

If you turn off the PD-6 power with the “IEEE1394” menu set to “CONNECT” and then turn it on next time, the PD-6 starts up with the “CONNECT” set- ting. Therefore, by repeating the procedure below, you can easily connect more than one disk to the PC.

1)Turn off the PD-6 power with the “IEEE1394” menu set to “CONNECT”.

2)Change a disk and turn on the PD-6 power again.

3)After “Selected --IEEE1394--” is shown on the display, connect the cable.

4)After copying the disk contents to the PC, make the PC ready for disconnecting the PD-6, and disconnect the cable.
