Transferring a track (audio data) recorded on your PC to an SD Memory Card is called "Checking out" the track. After checking out the track to your SD Memory Card, you can listen to it on a device such as an SD Multi AV Device.
You can check out the audio data for a track up to three times. This limitation was established to protect copyright.
Returning a track to your PC from an SD Memory Card is called "Checking in" the track. After checking in the track, your PC increases the remaining check-out count by one. You can also check out a returned track to other SD Memory Cards.
Contents
Connecting an SD Memory Card
Attach the SD Memory Card to your SD Multi AV Device and then connect it to the PC. For connection details, consult your SD Multi AV Device user’s guide. See page 52 for instructions on removing the SD Memory Card.
You can also access the SD Memory Card through a connection with an optional USB Reader/Writer for the SD Memory Card.
After you have correctly connected the SD Multi AV Device or USB Reader/Writer, it will be identified as "USB Mass Storage Device" (in Windows 2000/XP) or "Panasonic Multi AV Device" (in Windows 98SE/Me) in the Device Manager list.
For instructions on opening the Device Manager, refer to the Windows documentation.
(Example)
Protecting data on an SD Memory Card
To prevent the risk of damaging the inside of an SD Memory Card or corrupting the audio data so that it is unusable, wait until SD-Jukebox has completely stopped processing or the Card Access lamp of SD Multi AV Device turns off before you do any of these things:
•Attach or remove the SD Memory Card or the SD Multi AV Device
•Intentionally close SD-Jukebox or Windows
•Intentionally turn off the PC (e.g., pull the power cord out of the power outlet)
After check out, we recommend moving the writeprotect switch on the SD Memory Card to the LOCK position. Unlock the switch when you want to do a new check out or check in tracks.
