40 TASCAM DV-RA1000 Owner’s Manual

7 – Use with a computer

The DV-RA1000 will work with the following

Microsoft operating systems: Windows Me, Win-

dows 2000, and Windows XP.

It will work with the following operating systems

from Apple Computer: MacOS 9.2.2 and above, and

MacOS X 10.2 and above.

For all the above operating systems, no driver is

required. The DV-RA1000 simply appears as a

removable USB mass storage device. See “Disc types

that can be used in USB mode” on page 40 for details

of the discs which you can use.

However, you should note that under no circum-

stances can a computer write audio data to a DV-

RA1000 disc that can be read by the DV-RA1000.

CAUTION

You should always follow your computer’s instructions

on how to disconnect a USB removable drive safely

from your system. If you do not do this, there is a risk of

data corruption on your computer.

Connecting the DV-RA1000 to a computer

Only use a high-quality cable certified for use with

USB 2.0 systems.

NOTE

You can use the DV-RA1000 with USB 1.1 systems, but

the performance will necessarily not be as good as with

a USB 2.0 system.

Avoid connecting the DV-RA1000 to a computer using a

USB hub. Always connect the DV-RA1000 and computer

directly.

1 Press MENU and select USB. Press ENTER.

2 A popup menu on the DV-RA1000 screen asks

you if you want to connect to the computer.

Press

ENTER (or CANCEL to cancel).

The DV-RA1000 appears as a mass storage unit (on

some Microsoft systems, it may initially appear as an

“unrecognizable device”; this will also happen if the

DV-RA1000 is not in USB mode when it is con-

nected to a PC).

All front panel controls are disabled (except the

CANCEL key (see below). Use the computer’s sys-

tem to eject a disc.

Disc types that can be used in USB mode

In stand-alone mode, the DV-RA1000 can be used to

record CD-R, CD-RW and DVD+RW media.

However, in USB mode, the list of media types

usable is expanded.

For writing, the DV-RA1000 can use:

•CD-R

•CD-RW

• DVD+R single-layer

• DVD+R dual-layer

• DVD+RW

In addition, it can read data from the following media

types:

•CD-DA

•CD-ROM

•CD-R

•CD-RW

•DVD-ROM

•DVD–R

•DVD-RW

Disconnecting from Windows 2000 / XP systems

With Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP,

the procedure is a little more complex than simply

unplugging the DV-RA1000.

In the system tray (typically at the bottom right of the

screen), you see an icon picture of a PC card and an

arrow.

1 Left-click this icon to show a popup bar. Click

this popup bar to allow the DV-RA1000 to be

removed from the computer.

2 Follow the instructions below on disconnect-

ing (“After “ejecting” from the computer” on

page 41).
