MR-8mkII Owner’s Manual (Data export to a personal computer)
The MR-8mkII CompactFlash TM Card is protected by default.
The protection is effective only in the USB mode in which the MR-8mkII is used with a personal
computer. You can make the CompactFlash
TM Card “read only” (protected) or “read/write enabled”
(unprotected). The default is “read only”. As mentioned earlier in “Card protection” on page
118, if you transfer song data from a computer to the MR-8mkII improperly, the data may be
damaged. To avoid such an accident, we recommended enabling card protection. To disabling
the card protection, follow the procedure below.
1) While the recorder is stopped, press the
[MENU/ENTER] key to enter the menu mode.
The display now shows the first page of the
menu selection screen, where "<< Back" is
highlighted initially.
2) Rotate the JOG dial to select “USB” on the
second page, and press the [MENU/ENTER] key.
The display now shows the USB menu screen,
where “<<Back” is highlighted. Selecting
“<<Back” returns to the previous screen.
You can also return to the previous screen by
pressing the [REWIND] key.
3) Rotate the JOG dial to highlight “Card Protect =
On”, and press the [MENU/ENTER] key.
The current setting (the default is “On”)
flashes.
4) Rotate the JOG dial to select “Off”, and press the
[MENU/ENTER] key.
The selection is confirmed and the display
returns to the previous screen.
5) Press the [STOP] key to exit the menu mode.
Off
The CompactFlash TM Card is “read/write
enabled” (unprotected). You can transfer
data between the MR-8mkII and a
computer in both ways.
On
The CompactFlash TM Card is “read only”
(protected). You can transfer data only from
the MR-8mkII to a computer (default
setting).
<Note>: When you enter the USB mode while the
card protection is disabled, the screen as below is
shown. In this condition, the CompactFlash
TM Card
is “read/write enabled” and you can bi-
directionally transfer song data between a com-
puter and the MR-8mkII.
