Using the recorder with a computer
What you can do
through connection
with a computer
When using the supplied software
• Transfer audio data between the
computer and the recorder
The supplied SonicStage software allows
you to transfer audio data between the
recorder and your computer. You can
transfer audio data from the computer to
the recorder or audio data that you have
recorded on the recorder or another MD
component to the computer. For detailed
explanations, refer to SonicStage Help.
• Record directly from a CD to an MD
The supplied MD Simple Burner software
enables you to record a CD in the
computer’s CD drive directly to a disc in the
recorder.
When using the disc in the recorder as a
storage device
When using the recorder in Hi-MD mode, the
recorder appears in the Windows Explorer
as an external drive, allowing you to transfer
non-audio data such as text and image files.
For details, refer to “Storing non-audio data to
a disc” ( page 30).
Charging the rechargeable battery of the
recorder (USB bus power)
You can charge the rechargeable battery while
the recorder is connected to a computer.
When using a Macintosh computer
Refer to the “Hi-MD Music Transfer for
Mac” instruction sheet supplied with this
recorder.

When playing audio files using the software, the
sound is output from
• the computer’s speakers when a disc used in Hi-
MD mode is inserted; or
• the equipment such as earphones connected to the
recorder when a disc used in MD mode is inserted.
Note
If the place where you charge the battery is too cold
or too hot, the battery indication (
) will flash in
the display and charging by USB bus power will not
be possible. The battery should be charged within
a temperature range of +5 °C (+41 °F) to +35 °C
(+95 °F).
