Installing the dedicated software
To use this unit as a USB audio interface with a Windows com-
puter, dedicated software must be installed on the computer.
Download the latest software from the product page on the
TEAC Global Site ( http://teac-global.com/ ).
Installing the dedicated software will install a driver and a Set-
tings Panel application.
ATTENTION
Before starting to install software, quit other applications.
NOTE
With a Mac, the standard OS driver will be used, so instal-
lation of dedicated software is not strictly necessary. We
recommend installing this software, however, because it has
a notification function about updates for the unit firmware
and software.
Installing the Windows dedicated soft-
ware
Follow the procedures below to install the Windows dedicated
software.
ATTENTION
i Complete installation of the Windows dedicated software on
the computer before connecting the unit to it with the USB
cable.
i If you connected the unit to the computer using the USB ca-
ble before installing the Windows dedicated software and the
“ Found New Hardware Wizard ” launched, close the Wizard
and disconnect the USB cable.
