USB INSTALLATION

PORTADISC MDP500 MiniDisc Recorder

Universal Serial Bus (USB) audio transfer is provided for easy exchange of audio with a compatible computer. The format of the transfer is streaming audio – the software you are using on the computer will control the stored file format of the audio data.

The PORTADISC will automatically start any required software installation when connected via a USB cable to a computer.

WINDOWS 98 / WINDOWS 2000 USERS

1.Connect a USB cable between the PORTADISC and your computer.

2.Follow the installation instructions to install USB drivers (if required) for your computer. You may require your Windows installation discs. There is no software supplied with the PORTADISC.

3.Once the drivers are installed, the USB interface can be used. Please ensure the application you are using is selected in order to record from the USB audio source (normally found in options menu).

4.Should you wish to play back via USB from the computer to the PORTADISC, playback has to be selected to be USB audio. Most PC output paths will default to less than unity gain.
