What you can do 

through connection 

with a computer 

When using the supplied software

  The supplied SonicStage software allows 

you to transfer audio data between the 
recorder and your computer. You can 
transfer audio data from the computer to 
the recorder or audio data that you have 
recorded on the recorder or another MD 
component to the computer. For detailed 
explanations, refer to SonicStage Help.

• Record directly from a CD to an MD
  The supplied MD Simple Burner software 

enables you to record a CD in the 
computer’s CD drive directly to a disc in the 
recorder.

When using the disc in the recorder as a 

storage device

When using the recorder in Hi-MD mode, the 
recorder appears in the Windows Explorer 
as an external drive, allowing you to transfer 
non-audio data such as text and image files. 
For details, refer to “Storing non-audio data to 
a disc” ( page 30).

Charging the rechargeable battery of the 

recorder (USB bus power)

You can charge the rechargeable battery while 
the recorder is connected to a computer.

Refer to the “Hi-MD Music Transfer for 
Mac” instruction sheet supplied with this 
recorder.



When playing audio files using the software, the 
sound is output from
•  the computer’s speakers when a disc used in Hi-

MD mode is inserted; or

•  the equipment such as earphones connected to the 

recorder when a disc used in MD mode is inserted.

If the place where you charge the battery is too cold 
or too hot, the battery indication ( 

 ) will flash in 

the display and charging by USB bus power will not 
be possible. The battery should be charged within 
a temperature range of +5 °C (+41 °F) to +35 °C 
(+95 °F).
