After verifying your computer has the necessary operating
system and audio extensions, close all applications. Plug the
supplied USB cable into a USB port on your computer. Now plug
the Digital PCLink into the other end of the USB cable. Do not
plug the Digital PCLink into a USB hub, as other devices on the
hub may effect the digital audio data running to the Digital
PCLink causing unwanted pops and clicks in your recordings.

Your computer will now automatically initiate the Digital
PCLink and set it as the preferred playback device. After a few
seconds, you should notice that the Digital PCLink red
TOSLINK light is activated. If the Digital PCLink’s TOSLINK
light does not activate after a few seconds, verify that you are
running the minimum operating system and Apple Audio
Extensions requirements. The installation of your Digital PCLink
is now complete. Please proceed to the next section, “Recording
to MiniDisc” (page 11).
