 9–Connecting with a Computer
By connecting this unit with a computer using the USB cable,
you can transfer audio files on the SD card in the unit to a
computer, as well as transfer audio files on the computer to the
SD card in the unit.
This unit can handle audio files of the following formats (only
stereo files).
MP3: 32k-320kbps, 44.1k/48kHz
WAV: 44.1k/48k/96kHz, 16/24 bit
Computer
USB
NOTE
Instead of using USB to connect the DR-2d and a computer,
you can also conduct the same operations by removing the SD
card from the DR-2d and connecting it directly to a computer
that has a built-in SD card slot or by using a card reader.
CAUTION
•• You cannot use this unit’s other functions when it is
connected to a computer by USB.
•• Connect this unit to the computer directly. Proper
operation cannot be guaranteed when using a USB hub.
When connected, “USB connected” appears on the screen of
the recorder.
If an SD card is not properly inserted before making the USB
connection, “Can't Save Data” appears on the screen.
This unit appears on the computer screen as external volume
named “DR-2d.”
Transferring files to a computer
1 Click the “DR-2d” drive on the computer screen to show
the “MUSIC” and “UTILITY” folders.
2 Open the “MUSIC” folder and drag and drop the files that
you want to transfer to the computer to destinations of
your choice.

TIP
•• You can manage the MUSIC folder from the computer.
•• You can create subfolders in the MUSIC folder up to the
second level for use with this unit. The DR-2d cannot
recognize subfolders and audio files on the third level or
below.
•• Since you can set the DR-2d to only play the contents of a
specific folder, you can organize tracks into genres, artists
or other categories as you like.
•• If you name the subfolders and music tracks, these names
will appear on the screen of this unit.
Disconnecting from a computer
Before disconnecting the USB cable, use the proper procedures
for your computer to unmount the “DR-2d” (as an external
drive). The power turns off after the unit completes its shutdown
process.
See the computer’s operation manual for instructions about how
to unmount an external drive.
