The connection makes it easy to copy audio fi les
between the CDR420 HD and your computer's hard
drive. The I/O connection can only be made active
when the CDR420 is off (neither recording or during
playback).
To disconnect, put the CDR420 hard drive away* on
your computer, then disconnect the I/O cable.
*It is a common and safe practice to "stop" or "eject" an external
hard drive before disconnecting it from your computer. Failure to
do this could damage fi les on the CDR420 or the HD itself. Refer
to your computer's operating system "help" section for instructions
on using the "Safely Remove Hardware" tool (PC).

ing (or recording).
Output:

MIX OUT and/or LINE OUT and then connect to the
input of an amplifi er, preamplifi er, receiver or other
recording device.

ing or to mix line level input with
microphone or instrument inputs
If the CDR420 is off, it
will automatically connect.
USB 2.0 MSD is displayed on the CDR420

cording and passes input signals through while the
