Connecting the
recorder to your
computer

When you connect the dedicated USB
cable directly to the USB connecting jack
on the recorder, power (bus power) is
supplied from the USB port of the
computer. This allows the recorder to be
used without power being supplied from
the battery.

When using Windows ME or Windows 98SE

If you connect the recorder to the computer
with the disc mode on the recorder set to “Hi-
MD” (factory setting), and then insert a 60/74/
80-minute standard disc, the operation mode
of the disc may automatically change to Hi-
MD mode even if you do not record anything.

When you disconnect the dedicated USB
cable, the message “Unsafe Removal of
Device” appears in the computer display. This
is not a problem. Merely click “OK” to make
the message disappear.
