TASCAM DV-RA1000HD

The DV-RA1000HD will work with the following
Microsoft operating systems: Windows 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 HD of DV-RA1000HD simply appears as
a USB mass storage device.

CAUTION

You should always follow your computer’s instruc-
tions 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.

Only use a high-quality cable certified for use with
USB 2.0 systems.

NOTE

You can use the DV-RA1000HD with USB 1.1 sys-
tems, but the performance will necessarily not be
as good as with a USB .0 system.
Avoid connecting the DV-RA1000HD to a com-
puter using a USB hub. Always connect the
DV-RA1000HD and computer directly.
