Using the player with a computer
What you can do
through connection
with a computer
To use the player connected to a
computer, you must install the software
from the supplied CD-ROM. For details
on the installation procedure, refer to the
“Software Operation” section.
When using the supplied
softwares
For detailed explanations, see the
“Software Operation” section or online
help.
• Transfer audio data between the
computer and the player
The supplied SonicStage software
enables you to transfer audio data
between the player and the computer.
When a disc used in Hi-MD mode is
inserted in the player, tracks recorded
from a CD player to the player can be
migrated to your computer.
• Record directly from a CD to an MD
The supplied MD Simple Burner
software enables you to record a CD in
the computer’s CD drive directly to a
disc in the player.
When using the disc in the
player as a storage device
When a disc used in Hi-MD mode is
inserted in the player, the player appears
in the Windows Explorer as an external
drive, allowing you to transfer non-audio
data such as text and image files. For
details, refer to “Storing non-audio data to
a disc” (page 34).
z
If you play audio files using the software, the
sound is output from the computer speakers
when a disc used in Hi-MD mode is inserted,
and from the earphones connected to the player
when a disc used in MD mode is inserted in the
player.
Connecting the player
to your computer
When you connect the dedicated USB
cable directly to the USB connecting jack
on the player, power (bus power) is
supplied from the USB port of the
computer. This allows the player to be
used without power being supplied from
the battery.
When using Windows ME or Windows 98SE
•
If you connect the player to the computer with
the disc mode on the player set to “Hi-MD”
(factory setting), and then insert a 60/74/80-
minute standard disc, the operation mode of
the disc may automatically change to Hi-MD
mode even if you do not record anything.
•
When you disconnect the dedicated USB
cable, the message “Unsafe Removal of
Device” appears in the computer display. This
is not a problem. Merely click “OK” to make
the message disappear.
