Mac Settings Panel installation procedures

1.  Download the latest Mac Settings Panel for the operating 

system you are using from the TEAC Global Site (http://

teac-global.com/) and save it on the computer to be used 

with the unit.

2.  Double-click “iXR_Installer_XXX.dmg” (XXX is the version 

number), which is the saved disk image file for the Mac 

Settings Panel, and double-click “iXR_Installer.pkg” inside the 

folder that opens.

NOTE

Depending on the computer’s settings, the downloaded zip 

file might not have opened automatically. In this case, open 

the zip file first and then double-click the disk image file.

3.  When the installer starts, click the “Continue” button.

4.  On the software license agreement screen, click the 

“Continue” button to open the software license agreement 

confirmation screen.
Click the “Read License” button and check the contents 

of the Software License Agreement. If you agree to the 

contents, click “Agree”.

5.  Next, click the “Install” button to start installation.

6.  The following screen appears when installation has 

completed.
Click the “Close” button.

Working with Gatekeeper

When using Mac OS X, depending on the Gatekeeper security 

function setting, a warning message might appear during 

installation.
The solution depends on the warning message shown.
See the following explanations for details.

When the Gatekeeper setting is “Allow applications 

downloaded from: the Mac App Store”

The following security warning might be shown: 

“'iXR_Installer.dmg' can't be opened because it was not 

downloaded from the Mac App Store.”

In this case, click the OK button to close the message. Then, 

control-click (or right-click) the file and click “Open”.
When the “'iXR_Installer.dmg' can't be opened because it 

was not downloaded from the Mac App Store. Are you sure 

you want to open it?” security warning message appears, 

click the “Open” button.

This warning message might also appear when the 

Gatekeeper setting is something other than “Allow applica-

tions downloaded from: the Mac App Store”.
The file still might not open and “'iXR_Installer.dmg' can't be 

opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App 

Store.” might appear again.
