8Open the appropriate drive/folder and copy
the required WAV files or directly edit the
WAV files using a waveform editor applica-
tion.
To access the Transport folder open the “AW2400-2”
drive.
To directly access WAV files on the AW2400 open the
“Song1” folder on the “AW2400-1” drive and the
“Song2” folder on the “AW2400-2” drive. These fold-
ers contain folders bearing the names of the recorded
songs (extension .AWS), and those folders further con-
tain folders labeled “Audio” that contain the actual
audio data.
To backup a complete song to the computer simply
copy the folder bearing the name of the song you want
to backup to the computer.
Refer to “Song Folder Organization” on page 166 for
information on how the folders are organized.
Be sure to carry out the steps outlined in “Exiting the
USB Storage Mode” when disconnecting the AW2400
from the computer.
Use the following procedure to exit from the USB Storage
Mode.
1Be sure the “unmount” the AW2400 hard
disk from your computer after closing all
AW2400 windows.
●In the case of Windows XP:
Click the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon in the task-
bar and remove the corresponding two “USB mass
storage devices”.
●In the case of Mac OSX:
Drag the “AW2400-1” and “AW2400-2” icons from
the desktop to the trash.
2In the AW2400 screen, move the cursor to
the CANCEL button and press the [ENTER]
key.
A popup window confirming whether the AW2400 has
been safely removed from the computer will appear.
3To return to the normal mode move the cur-
sor to the OK button and press the [ENTER]
key.
•Verification and repair of the internal hard disk can be carried
out from the computer. From a Windows computer enter the
“chkdsk” command at the command prompt, or from a Macin-
tosh computer running OS X use the Disk Utility First Aid
function.

•For 24-bit songs, the audio data contained in the “Audio” fold-
ers is stored in 32-bit WAV format. If your waveform editor
application cannot handle 32-bit data, first export the WAV
file(s) to the “Transport” folder. WAV files imported or exported
via the “Transport” folder are automatically converted to 24-bit
format that can be edited using most waveform editor soft-
ware.
•Do not change the names of any folders/files other than those
in the Transport folder. Any folder/file names that have been
added or changed outside the Transport folder from the com-
puter will be automatically deleted. Be especially careful not
to change a song folder or song file name.
• Files larger than 4 GB cannot be copied.
NOTE

Exiting the USB Storage Mode

• If an error message appears, execute “Safely Remove Hard-
ware” one or two more times. You should then be able to
remove the device without seeing an error message.
