If a panel telling you it is not safe to remove the DP-01 appears, do not
“close” or unplug the DP-01. Close all programs and windows that are
accessing the files on the DP-01 and try again.
Disconnecting from a Macintosh system When you are discon
necting the DP01 from a Macintosh system (OS 9 or OS X), drag the disk
icon to the Trash, or press CommandE (OS X 10.3 also has a button in the
Finder which allows ejecting removable media). When the icon has disap
peared from your desktop, you can disconnect the DP01.

“Open” and “Close”

Make sure that you
have saved songs,
copied all the files you’re going to
transfer to the PC to the FAT parti-
tion, etc., before you open the DP-

not perform any recording, playback, etc., or any operations involv-
ing the DP-01 hard disk.
