Most PC applications can import an interleave file directly, however, if you cannot
export an interleave file to your PC application, use Fostex BWF Manager to convert the file
to mono files. Mono BWF files converted using the BWF Manager can be imported and
edited by an audio software application. An interleave BWF file converted from mono files
can be played back by the PD606 or DV824. You can download "BWF Manager" from the
Fostex website (http://www.fostexinternational.com/).

The procedure of access to a DVD-RAM disk or the internal hard disk drive differs
depending on the port you use and the OS of your PC. Note that you can read data on the
internal hard disk drive from your PC but cannot write data to it.
Also note that, with some writing software applications in the market, the file transfer
speed from the hard disk drive may be extremely slower than the file transfer speed from
a DVD-RAM disk. In such a case, the transfer speed may be improved by disabling the
packet write function of the writing software application (see the operation manual of the
writing software application for details about the packet write function),
