Connecting the recorder to your computer

Connect the recorder to your computer as follows.

Note

When using Windows ME or Windows 98SE

If you connect the recorder to the computer with the disc mode on the recorder set to “Hi-MD” (factory setting), and then insert a 60/74/80-minute standard disc, the operation mode of the disc may automatically change to Hi-MD mode even if you do not record anything.

When you disconnect the USB cable, the message “Unsafe Removal of Device” appears in the computer display. This is not a problem. Merely click “OK” to make the message disappear.

Power (bus power) is supplied from the USB port of the computer so that the recorder can be used without power being supplied from the battery.
