Notes

If you use the recorder connected to the computer, it is recommended that you insert a fully charged rechargeable battery as a precaution against power failures, disconnection of the dedicated USB cable or other unforeseen occurrences. We do not assure the results should there be a mis- operation, transfer failures, or destruction of audio data caused by unforeseen occurrences.

If you disconnect the dedicated USB cable from the recorder and want to reconnect it, make sure to wait at least 2 seconds before connecting it again.

Make sure to place the recorder at a stable, vibration-free place during recording.

Make sure not to connect the recorder to your computer during recording or playing.

The system may malfunction if your computer changes to system suspend, sleep, or hibernation mode while connecting to the recorder. Make sure to disable any changes to suspend, sleep, or hibernation mode.

Make sure not to connect the recorder and the computer through a USB hub.

It is not possible to charge the rechargeable battery in the recorder while using the bus power connection.

While operating the recorder through bus power, the clock setting of the recorder will be lost if the computer changes to system suspend, sleep or hibernation mode and the rechargeable battery is either drained or not in the recorder.

We do not ensure trouble-free operation on all computers that satisfy the system requirements.

Storing non-audio data to a disc

If you connect the recorder to a computer with a disc in Hi-MD mode inserted, the disc is recognized as storage media by the Windows Explorer, allowing you to store non-audio data such as text data or image data.

For the storage space for each disc, refer to the next page.

When you insert a disc in Hi-MD mode into the recorder and make connection with the computer, the recorder is recognized as an external device and can be viewed on the Windows Explorer. You can use the recorder in the same way as other devices.

Notes

When the SonicStage software is active, the recorder is not recognized as a data storage device.

If you format a disc on the computer, make sure to format the disc using the SonicStage software.

Make sure not to delete the file management folder (HMDHIFI folder and HI-MD.IND file) on the Windows Explorer.
