Recording Audio
To record audio, move the Mode switch to the 3 position. In audio standby the LED will glow blue. Press the
Record button to begin recording. During recording, the LED will blink blue. To stop recording and save a file,
press the Record button again, and the device will return to audio standby mode.
Reviewing Files on a Computer
To view your files on a computer, simply connect the device via the supplied USB cord or by inserting the
device directly into a USB port, making sure the device is powered Off. It will connect as a removable drive,
and depending on the settings on your PC, it may automatically notify you that new hardware has been
detected. If so, select Open Folder to View Files.
If it is not automatically detected, click Start on your desktop. Select My Computer if you are using Windows
XP, or Computer if using Windows Vista or Windows 7. The device should be listed as a Removable Disk
named MINIDV under the Devices With Removable Storage section. Open that drive, which will contain a
folder called _REC. Within the _REC folder will be another folder named 100MEDIA. This folder will contain all
your recorded files.
As mentioned earlier, we suggest using VLC Player to play back video files.
Using Your Device as a Webcam
This device can only be used as a webcam on 32-bit Windows operating systems. If you are not using a
Windows computer, or are using a 64-bit Windows computer, this function will not work.
