11–Exchanging Data with a Computer
6 Connect this unit to a computer using the USB
cable (see “ Connecting with a computer ” on page
92).
7 Use the computer to copy backup files from the
BACKUP directory on the FAT partition of the
unit to the computer.
8 After copying finishes, disconnect the unit from
the computer using the proper procedures and then
remove the USB cable (see “Disconnecting” on page
93).
CAUTION
If you change the song file name on the computer, •
you might have trouble when you restore the file
to this unit later.
If you do change the file name of the backed-up
•
song file, do not use more than eight characters in
the new name.
TIP
You can make further backup copies of the song •
file by copying it from the computer to a CD-R, for
example.
You can also restore a backed-up song file to a differ-
•
ent DP-004 unit. Since files can be shared freely
between DP-004 units, you can easily conduct over-
dubbing or mixdown at different locations.
