Cautions when establishing the USB connection
•The VS-2000 and computer must be connected one-to-one. Do not make
connections via a USB hub.
•With certain types of USB cable, the internal hard disk may not be detected
correctly. If this occurs, try reconnecting the cable. The hard disk may be detected
successfully if you use a cable of a different length. Cable compatible with USB 2.0
and length of 5m or less is recommended.
• Do not enter into USB storage mode when discs like audio CD etc. is loaded on
internal CD-RW drive of VS-2000.
• In rare cases, it may happen that the internal CD-RW drive will be detected but the
internal hard disk will not be detected when you connect the VS-2000 to your
computer. If this occurs, re-connect using one of the following methods (A–C).
• If you’re using Windows XP in an environment where network drives are assigned
or you’ve used the Subst command to assign virtual drives, there may be cases in
which not all of the VS-2000’s internal hard disk (partitions) will be detected.
•A certain amount of time may be required for the VS-2000’s internal hard disk to be
detected.
