FireWire File Transfer

When connected via FireWire (IEEE-1394a) to a Mac OS or Windows OS computer (see Specifications for computer requirements), the internal hard drive and connected Compact Flash storage mediums are mounted onto the computer as “letter” accessible drives. Use the appropriate FireWire cable, either

6-pin to 4-pin or 6-pin to 6-pin, for interconnection. Files on the 744T can be treated as if they are local files, including renaming files, copying, and playing directly from the 744T medium.

In general, it is good practice to copy all needed audio files from the 744T to a computer before any processing is performed on the files.

To connect the 744T for FireWire transfer:

1.Stop all playback and recording activity.

2.Make certain the 744T battery is fully charged, or connect to external DC.

3.Connect the 744T to the host computer with a FireWire cable.

4.The 744T will enter FireWire transfer, indicated by COMPUTERCONNECTION in the LCD display. All functions of the 744T are stopped while the 744T is connected to a computer through FireWire.

5.Navigate the drives on the computer and copy all needed audio files to the computer.

To avoid possible directory corruption on the 744T internal media, do not interrupt the connection process and always properly dismount the drives from the operating system. On Mac OS platforms, drag the drive icons to the trash. On Windows platforms, use the “Disconnect External Media” icon in the system tray.
