Connecting External Devices
When you connect the recorder to a computer
using the supplied USB cable, the memory card
inserted in the recorder’s slot is recognized as an
external drive for the computer.
When two memory cards are mounted in this
recorder, they are acknowledged as two
independent extended drives by the computer.
Notes
• The recorder does not work on the bus power from the
computer. Supply the operating power independently.
• When using the ExpressCard slot on a computer, set
the SxS card to write protect (i.e., read only), and back
up data onto the computer before editing.
To check the connection to the recorder
1 Connect the PC connector on the
recorder to the computer using the
supplied USB cable, and turn on the
recorder.
A message prompting you to confirm that
you wish to enable connection with the
computer is displayed on the LCD monitor.
This message will not be displayed while another
confirmation message or in-progress message (e.g.,
for formatting or restoration of an SxS memory
card) is shown on the screen. It appears when
formatting or restoration is completed. The message
is also not displayed while the CLIP INFO screen is
shown on the screen. It appears when an operation
on the CLIP INFO screen is completed or you
return to the thumbnail screen.
2 Select [Execute].
3 On Windows, check that the memory
card is displayed as a removable disk in
My Computer.
On Macintosh, check that a “NO
NAME” or “Untitled” folder was
created on the desktop. (The Macintosh
folder name can be changed.)
If the computer is equipped with an ExpressCard/
34 or ExpressCard/54 slot, you can directly insert
the SxS memory card to access the files.
Notes
• The following operations must be eliminated when the
access lamp is lit in red.
—Turning the power off or disconnecting the power
cord
—Removing the SxS memory card
—Disconnecting the USB cable
• When removing an SxS memory card from a
Macintosh, do not select “Card Power Off” from the
SxS memory card icon displayed on the menu bar.
• Operation is not guaranteed with all computers.
