You can use either of the connectors according to your PC. 5) [HD] indicator Flashes while the built-in HDD is being accessed. 6) PD-6/IEEE1394 USB select switch Selects "PD-6" or "IEE1394 USB" according to the situation. PD-6 Set the selector to this position when you use the B-16 as a recording/playback drive for the PD-6. <Notes>: Never use the IEEE1394 and USB ports simultaneously. Also note that you cannot use the [USB] and [IEEE1394] ports while the selector is set to "PD-6". 11) [DC OUT (PD-6 ONLY)] connector Used to connect to the [DC IN] connector of the PD-6 using the DC cord supplied with the B-16. Set the selector to this position when exIEEE1394 porting a file recorded on a DVD-RAM USB disk set on the B-16 to your PC. 12) [DC IN] connector Used to connect to the external DC power supply. 13) [AC IN] connector Used to connect to the supplied AC cord. 4 How to stack the PD-6 and B-16 together 1) Remove the blank panel at the bottom of the PD-6. 4) Fix the supplied cushion using the fixing screws which are removed in the previous step. Cushion 2) Replace the two screws for fixing the rubber feet at the bottom of the PD-6 with the screws supplied with the B-16. 5) Pull out the connection cable from inside the B-16. <Note>: Never forget to replace the screws for fixing the rubber feet. Otherwise, the PD6 may malfunction or generate a noise because of imperfect grounding. 3) Remove the two screws for fixing the cover at the top of the PD-6, and open the cover. 6) Put the PD-6 on the B-16 and plug the connector of the cable to the PD-6, as shown below. Make sure to plug the connector in the correct direction. <Note>: The removed screws are used later for fixing the cushion. Be sure not to lose them. 5 7) After connecting the cable, stack the PD-6 on the B-16. After hanging the projection on the PD-6, lift up the fixing angle until it is locked. <Note>: When stacking the PD-6 on the B-16, make sure to perfectly fit the dent of PD-6 rubber feet to the metallic projections of each B-16. Otherwise, the PD-6 may malfunction or generate a noise because of imperfect grounding. 9) Fasten the fixing screw of each fastening. Fasten the fixing screw of each fastening so that the fastening may not be off. Be careful not to apply excessive force. 8) Use the fastenings on both the left and right sides of the B-16 to fastening the PD-6. Pull up the metallic projection of each fastening and hang it on the PD-6. (The following pictures show the example of the left side. ) Confirm both the left and right fastenings are fixed tightly. Now you complete stacking the B-16 and PD-6 together. The next step is to connect the power cords. See the next page. 6 Connecting the power cords To supply power to the PD-6 and B-16, connect the AC and DC cords supplied with the B-16, as shown below. Make connection using the supplied DC cord. This connector is used when using the external DC power supply. Connect to the AC outlet using the supplied AC cord. <Notes> · When the B-16 is connected to the PD-6, turn on the B-16 first, followed by the PD-6. · When the B-16 is connected to the PD-6, make sure that both the PD-6 and B-16 are turned off before you switch the selector (for selecting [PD-6 IEEE1394] or [USB]) on the B-16 front panel. PC connection By connecting the B-16 to your PC regardless of whether the B-16 is connected to the PD6 or not, you can export the B-16 audio file data to your PC. [. . . ] Note that you cannot export an audio file on the B-16 internal HDD. To the IEEE1394 or USB port on your PC <Notes for using> · Set the selector on the B-16 front panel to "IEEE1394/USB". · Connect the B-16 to your PC via the IEEE1394 or USB port. Never use both ports together. Daisy-chaining the PD-6, B-16 and PC By making "daisy chain" of the PD-6, B-16 and PC as shown below, you can export an audio file on a DVD-RAM disk set to the PD-6 or B-16. If your PC has more than one IEEE1394 port, you also can connect the PD-6 and B-16 individually to the IEEE1394 ports on the PC. IEEE1394 port on the PD-6 To the IEEE1394 port on the PC <Notes for using> · When the B-16 is connected to the PD-6, make sure that both the PD-6 and B-16 are turned off before you switch the selector (for selecting [PD-6 IEEE1394] or [USB]) on the B-16 front panel.
