Unplug the USB cable from the
computer or remove the disc from the
recorder.
• 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 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 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.
• Make sure to turn off any system suspend,
sleep, or hibernation function that may be
active on your computer. If the computer
changes to any of these modes while
connecting with the recorder, a malfunction
may occur; for example, the computer may
not recognize the recorder. If this happens,
reconnect the USB cable.
• Make sure not to connect the recorder and the
computer through a USB hub.
• When the recorder is connected to a computer,
power (bus power) is supplied to the recorder
through the computer’s USB port. If the
computer (a laptop PC, for example) is
operating on battery power, this connection
may cause the computer’s battery to drain. It
is thus recommended to use the computer with
an AC power adaptor.
• 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
computer, allowing you to store non-
audio data such as text data or image data.
For the storage space for each disc, refer
to the page 66.
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 computer display. You
can use the recorder in the same way as
other devices.

You can view non-audio data stored on a disc in
the display window of the recorder. For details,
refer to “Viewing non-audio data stored on the
disc in the display window of the recorder (File
List)” (page 65).
• When the SonicStage software is active, the
recorder is not recognized as a data storage
device.
• To format a disc on the computer, follow the
instructions below.
—If you are using a Windows computer,
format the disc with the SonicStage
software.
—If you are using a Macintosh computer, you
cannot format a disc on the computer.
Format the disc on the recorder (page 56).
