To select a fi le for playback:
1.
Press and hold the File Viewer key
to select a drive and folder (directory) for playback. The last
fi le recorded is the default fi le ready for playback. The default playback source is the storage volume
highlighted on the LCD display.
2.
Use the Rotary Switch, or the arrow soft-keys, to navigate through the File Viewer.
3.
Once a fi le is highlighted, press the
play key to begin playback.
When playback has fi nished, the fi lename will begin fl ashing. Use the
fast-forward key or
rewind key to step through fi les in the folder, or press the
stop key to exit playback mode.
FireWire File Transfer to Computer
Sound Devices strongly recommends shutting down equipment before connecting to or from any
FireWire device with a connection that carries power (6-pin). Reports have come to our attention of
isolated problems when hot-plugging IEEE 1394 (FireWire) devices. (Hot-plugging refers to making con-
nections when one or more of the devices—including the computer—is on.) When hot-plugging, there are
rare occurrences where either the FireWire device or the FireWire port on the host computer is rendered
permanently inoperable. From our experience, any FireWire connection which carries power is susceptible
to this type of damage.
When connected via FireWire (IEEE-1394a) to a Mac OS or Windows OS computer (
see Specifi cations
for computer requirements
), the internal hard drive and CF card mount onto a computer as “letter”
accessible mass storage volume. Use the appropriate FireWire cable (6-pin to 4-pin or 6-pin to 6-pin)
for interconnection. Files on the 744T can be treated as if they are local fi les, including renaming fi les,
copying, deleting and playing directly from the 744T hard drive.
In general, it is good practice to copy audio fi les from the 744T to a computer before any processing is
performed on the fi les.
To connect the 744T for FireWire computer transfer:
1.
Stop all playback and recording activity.
2.
Make certain the 744T battery is fully charged, or connect to external DC.
3.
Connect the 744T to the host computer with a FireWire cable.
4.
Initiate connection the computer by hitting the STOP then the HDD key (or go to the FireWire Con-
nect menu item). The 744T will enter FireWire transfer, indicated by
FIREWIRE CONNECTION
on the
LCD display. All functions of the 744T are stopped while the 744T is connected to a computer through
FireWire.
5.
Navigate to either the CF card or hard drive from the computer and copy all needed audio fi les to local
storage on the computer.
To avoid any possible directory corruption on the 744T do not interrupt the connection process and
always properly dismount the drives from the operating system. On Mac OS platforms, drag the drive
icons to the trash. On Windows platforms, use the “Disconnect External Media” icon in the system tray.
Dismount the 744T after fi le transfer by “ejecting” the volume from the computer. In Mac OS, drag
the disk icon from the desktop to the trash or hit -e. In Windows OS, highlight the disk icon, right-
click, and select “eject”. It is best practice to “eject” the 744T volume from the computer to maintain
fi le integrity (
see FireWire File Transfer
).
