5. USB Connection to PC or Mac 

Rekord M is detected as a USB memory device when connected to your PC or Macintosh system 
with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Mac OS X – similar like a USB memory stick or 
an external USB hard disk. This means you simply need to connect it to your computer using the 
supplied USB cable and you can directly access the files and copy them from Rekord M to your 
computer. 

When connected to your computer, the red LED will blink and the LCD display 
will show an icon with a USB connection cable like shown on the right. While 
the LED is blinking, the battery of Rekord M gets charged. 

Windows 

The following pictures show a folder of Rekord M with some files under Windows Vista. Even 
though the look is a bit different under Windows XP or Windows 7, the principle is exactly the 
same. You can click on files and simply drag them to your local hard disk or any other drive on 
your system for further editing. You can also copy them back to Rekord M for playback. 

 

Mac OS X 

The following pictures show the folders of Rekord M with some files under the Finder of Mac OS 
X. You can click on files and copy them to your local desktop, hard disk, etc. by dragging them 
with the mouse. You can also copy mp3 or WAV files back to Rekord M for playback.
