8After copying finishes, disconnect the unit from the computer using the proper procedures and then remove the USB cable (see “Disconnecting” on page 93).

CAUTION

•If you change the song file name on the computer, you might have trouble when you restore the file to this unit later.

•If you do change the file name of the backed-up song file, do not use more than eight characters in the new name.

TIP

•You can make further backup copies of the song file by copying it from the computer to a CD-R, for example.

•You can also restore a backed-up song file to a differ- ent DP-004 unit. Since files can be shared freely between DP-004 units, you can easily conduct over- dubbing or mixdown at different locations.
